The reality is people don't really rock basketball kicks like that anymore. Millennials wore basketball kicks 24/7, but now they've aged and have shifted preference a lot to brands like Hoka/NB that make more supportive/comfortable shoes. Meanwhile, younger generations have less interest in sports in general, and don't rock basketball shoes the way we did.
My bro is a design director for Nike Global Basketball and the company just is kind of flailing in general at the moment, at a really big crossroad culturally/economically.

That's facts. Being a 95 born kid and the last millennial (literally my birth year is the last of that generation) I definitely see the change. My HS/early college years were the last gen that wore basketball shoes casually. That's not even a thing anymore. Also you hit the nail right on the head with the younger generation not into sports like we were. Unless your parents are actively putting you in that space, most kids would rather game these days. Its kinda scary.

Jokes aside this is more accurate. Not bad but they genuinely look like they're in that group of Nikes that would trickle down to Marshalls. Like a pair I had that looked like Cortez but they weren't the cortez. Can't remember the name.
