Anyone who thinks this is anything other than marketing, advertising, and a cash grab is fooling themselves.

the vaporwave aesthetic is real....

wake me up when Oshmans re-opens and they are fully stocked with Pony high tops.

rocked a pair of these growing. BEST. SHOES. EVER.

Wow. I wore those exact shoes when I played basketball in high school. I want to say 1986-1987 during my sophomore year.

It’s a slippery slope. Next thing you know they’ll feature women and the blacks. Where does it end?

Yup it was around those years. They had those and the Green ones for the Celtics.

I was all kinds of triggered and ready to write my Congressman but then I remembered that I am not biased against any of those people and think it is ok to advertise towards people who aren't white and heterosexual

gay capitalism

You don't have to add "gay". It's redundant.

 

[SaintSpyNDallas]

You don't have to add "gay". It's redundant.

because those kids are clearly gay or because capitalism is somehow gay? I am not clear on this statement.

Because capitalism doesn't care. Gay capitalism is the same thing as regular capitalism. It's redundant.

Gotta grab that 11 year old Drag queen market before someone else does. Aim High Converse, Aim High...

Kinda shocked I didn't make this quip earlier, but...

Advertising targeting a demographic isn't political.

 

[The Moose]

It is smart marketing.

It is a cloth shoe a bolt a rainbow cloth costs nothing. Couple adds where you normally don't advertise and bingo more customers.

I know it is horrible to make people feel excepted for who they are and get more customers.

So I guess you could have a problem with maga people wearing the stars and stripes ones?

On to Chuck's you can custom order them how ever you want. It is pretty sweet.

I have to say they are pretty much the perfect shoe for bumming around cutting the grass or anything.

I have always owned at least one pair my entire life.

Got my first pair from shoe town. Remember that place? They were in jazz colors and came with free jazz tickets!

Been hooked ever since.
