Giants of the footwear game prove they should just fold

Here we go. Say goodbye to your money — the pied piper of marketing has been unleashed. Nike and Supreme are teaming up again: it’s the most terrible collaboration I’ve ever seen. Why? It’s the same thing once more.

Deja Vu Sneakers

If you’re buying these, you deserve to be robbed. This isn’t just another fashion drop, it’s indicative of the capitalist cycle we live in. The same people buying these mediocre designs are the same ones squabbling over who has the best new smartphone. The truth? Like your phone — they’re identical.

Nike hasn’t dropped anything of note in a while and the same can be said for Supreme. Both are starting to go the way of the grandpa shoe, but, at least Skechers are comfortable.

Tomato, Tomato

What’s new you ask? A simple name change. Oh, and they’ve put a cute little star on it with different colourways — but it’s still the same show.

While you may feel led to believe this is something you need — it’s a shoe with familiar, if not an identical build to its predecessors. Instead of buying these, book yourself a nice foot massage — these shoes will just kill your feet and make them look outdated. At least the toe rub will do something.
