Just a little too "I'm a better sneakerhead than you because I posts on NT" public display IMO.
Some people may perceive it that way, which is understandable given that there is plenty of elitism within the hobby.
NT as a community has never been about the whole "i have it, you don't" nonsense. People ON NT have, sure, but NikeTalk has been about bringingpeople together. Before the Internet, you might have been one of four of five guys in your high school who were really into sneakers. With NT, you became amember of a global community. That's why we created it - not to "show off." We're not sending free shirts out to celebrities. We'renot advertising on I$$ (irony meters would explode.) It's just something we're doing for our members, who demanded it, and to help raise money forcharity.
For us, the shirt's not about being proud of your possessions, it's about being proud of your friends, yourcommunity, your extended "family." It's just a tip of the cap to fellow sneaker fans you may encounter in everyday life.
Some people are acting like guys are gonna come up to you and act like you're long list brothers because you have the same shirt on. I don't see thathappening, unless you're stuck in line together or something. What I do envision, though, is that you might be walking around somewhere, you'llnotice someone with the shirt on, and maybe it makes you smile inside for that brief moment of recognition. "Wow, we're everywhere."
It's the fundraising aspect of it that's the most exciting part of it to me personally. How many products are designed to capitalize on sneaker fans? Only a portion of them actually come from within the community and virtually none exist to BENEFIT the community. If this were to take off, we could donatethousands of additional dollars to charity. Viewing an ad doesn't even generate whole currency. Clicking barely does. We can't do scale like Nikewith livestrong bands, so we need to sell something with a larger margin. Apparel fits. So, that's really the goal behind it. It's disappointing tome that people would interpret it as something elitist. That's basically the antithesis of what we're trying to accomplish. Hopefully we can turnthat perception around.
WHEN THES DROP I WILL COPP ONE.....
You'd better talk to RockDeep about that one...
If they were to ask me, though, the NT PE definitely wouldn't be a Dunk.
