Just the other day, I got a pair of shoes at Walmart for TREE FITTY.

The most comfortable pair of shoes I own are also from Walmart and they cost less than twenty bucks.

How do my $3.50 shoes from Walmart fit into this picture that justifies why Nikes are $100?

This article fails the smell test. Or maybe it’s Nike’s business model that is failing the smell test, I’m unsure.

Also, anybody commenting who claims they “need” a pair of Nikes for their special feet should try being desperately unemployed and borderline homeless for a while.

You don’t “need” anything.
