Nike alternative

[g-dad]

Saw this piece this morning. Appears to be for a good cause.

Air Force veteran touts new shoe to honor law enforcement as Nike pulls patriotic flag sneaker | Fox News

Pre ordered a pair and thought I'd pass this on. BTW, I have no affiliation with this organization.

PRE-ORDER: Honor and Respect Shoes
– Honor and Respect LLC

Please keep politics out of this.

Too bad they don’t offer a men’s 15 wide.

I have an issue with American flag clothing in general, but this is a good cause and I don’t see a problem with their design.

Though it is permissible (according to the American Legion) to wear non uniform clothing with stars and stripes on it, I don’t, just personal choice.
I do fly the Stars and Stripes, and salute the flag.

Does that mean pitbulls and nekked women are back on the approved list????

 

[Rustyt1953]

The alternative shoe seems to be a nice thought but I would rather buy dinner for Ruthie's four badge wearing cousins (one is a PC and one is a FC).

PS: crocs rule!

If its above 80 degrees I don't wear any shoes unless I HAVE to dress up. I have some nice Ecco sport sandals that are about the only footwear that will be on my feet until October.

Wearing OBOZ right now.
Have not worn that other brand for a long time.
Never will again.

No white shoes but I DO have a pair of Delcambre Rebocks (white shrimper boots)


Ahhhh Memories

Crocs are dangerous. I have forbidden my 79 year old mother from wearing them. Little moisture on the floor and you’re gonna look like Wile E Coyote after the Roadrunner gets thru with him.

Nike shoes don’t fit my feet right. I wear Adidas Samba indoor soccer shoes for every day, and I use Under Armor or New Balance cross trainers for active stuff. I don’t base many, if any decisions on the politics of a manufacturer. I buy what I like, and evaluate it based on quality, my history with the product, and current usefulness for my purpose. Almost every entity out there has probably done something I didn’t like. Don’t care . . .

Depends on the weather.
Ariat chukkas (cold)or Freewater flip flops(sunny) or OluKai Hawaiian lifeguard sneakers( rainy). I have feet like daffy duck.

Why? ’Tain’t empty yet.

New Balance for me; the only company that still makes at least 25% of the stuff here in the US - and they fit true to size unlike Nike

 

[Muss Muggins]

I always get a chuckle out of people who post stuff like that using equipment and technology that was 100% without a doubt manufactured outside the US . . .

I commented on another forum that I wear nothing but New Balance. I forgot to say, "I wear nothing but New Balance on my feet.", and the reactions were not pretty.

I've been wearing NB sneakers exclusively for about 7 years now. Comfortable, wear well, easy to clean, etc...,

I'm on my 5th pair of New Balance, but I'm not so sure about that "made in the US" claim.

One for the money. Two for the show...
