      Lol. I wear NB 574's for their comfort not necessarily their looks. Having worn other brands like Puma, Converse and Adidas I can say NB can take a beating and not mess up my feet at the same time.

        Totally with you on this.  when/why the hell did NB's become "cool" again?!!  I think 99% of them are ugly, although I will say that if they are that comfortable then that does go a long way and will maybe grant someone a free pass for wearing them.

        When were NB cool the first time?  Happily, I must have missed that era.  They're consistently the worst looking athletic shoes of any major brand.

        Many years ago, when I sold shoes, I found that appearance and comfort were inversely proportionate, so when customers asked my opinion on a hideous shoe's appearance, my standard response was, "they're very comfortable."

        Those Feits must feel like getting a foot massage from angels.

        Good point, they never were.  Should have left out the "again".

            These days I almost exclusively wear Nike Roshe Run. They are hands don the most comfortable thing I have ever had on my feet, they were design inspired by the simplicity of a Japanese Zen garden…..and they are ugly as fook  😉

              Rugby league should be the national sport in England. It's far more exciting to watch than football and the players are not preening prima donnas.

                Unpopular opinion with me. But only because Rugby Union is a far superior game to Rugby League.

                  I don't get the love for NB's either. I have one pair of 1500's and the tongue always slips to the side and the toe box shape always plays havoc with my OCD.
                  Same goes for Asics, whoever managed to get people in to thinking they were cool is a fucking marketing genius.

                          You sir, are a troll. That's a shocking thing to write and I'm deeply offended. I'll have you know that the sheep tremble in anticipation.

                            Also, we're always randy, but there's a culturally important interlude of sobriety on Tuesday mornings. Between 10.15 and 10.48. I forget why.
