JD Sports cool? Unbelievable. I've always thought Puma designs were better than Nike or Adidas. Although Stella McCartney did a great line for them.
It is sad that everyone wants to blend in with bland sportswear for almost every occasion these days. What we gain in comfort we lose in style and creativity.
To some extent this is a teenage thing. No one wants to stand out unless they are looking to be alternative and then they always used to go down the goth route but even they are looking to create a known look.
Yes, I remember how important it was to have the right shoes or later the right look as a teen. I actually think it's worse with adults now though, and there's no excuse!
I just watched the movie Air a couple weeks ago and didn’t realize Nike was at the bottom of the sneaker game. No one wanted them. It wasn’t until they signed Michael Jordan in 1984 after winning over his mom that the brand took off. He didn’t even want to sign with them at first. But that deal turned Nike into a billion-dollar company and it’s been going strong ever since.

I know! JD Sports of all places!

Mmm, maybe I’ve got past the point where I care then?! 😂
Ha ha - I like comfy, too. But sometimes it’s nice to be a bit more structured ;)
