what's a brand loyalty drone?

A person that sticks to one brand often times bashes other brands.

with the exception of having 3 pairs of Reebok slides throughout 4 years, 1 pair of UA Spine Slides, 4 pairs of UA running shoes at various times since '09 and a pair of UA Micro G Supersonics in 2011, my closet is 100% Nike now. I was previously an Asics guy, cause I ran cross country and track and Nike had crappy running shoes at the time, but my real affinity with the swoosh started in 10th grade when I ID'd a pair of LeBron 9s and I never looked back after that. But the thing that I really hate is all the labels (now dont go calling me some activist or disaffected college student cause I'm not either of those) people place on other people relating to the shoes they wear. Like if you only wear one brand of shoes your a fanboy (*Yes I know about those atrocious Apple fanboys they drive me up the wall*), or if you have say Curry shoes and you know nothing about him or GSW or if you just became a GSW fan and you were just a Spurs fan "thats called a bandwagoner" (I don't like bandwagoners myself because they drive up prices, demand, drive others stir-crazy, and keep the hype train rollin at full speed) but as I said I'm Switzerland neutral/no opinion, I could frankly care less who wins, and I dont think anyone needs to say "Oh you can't wear Currys because you're a bandwagoner". I'm not aware of any law(s) against what you can and can't wear. If there were those laws then I probably would be fine with only 2-3 pairs of Nike Free's for my collection. Just my 2 cents

Just picked these up from the HOH in King of Prussia. Had a gift card from the holidays so it worked out great. Love these in person!!! The Blue really pops against the white half of the shoe! This is my 4th pair of 2's (F2S, NL, RM and these) and I think I may be done (unless there is a really cool unusual colorway we haven't heard of yet coming). What a comfortable shoe!

What's wrong with being a fanboy?

Take it all in good fun.  I'm a sneaker fanboy, a Lillard fanboy, Oregon Ducks fanboy, Portland Trailblazers fanboy, Marvel/DC fanboy, Star Wars fanboy, I could go on and on.

Even if someone says it in a mean spirited way, so what?  Let their negativity be theirs, and not yours.  It's not like I'm a fanboy of serial killers or racists or something bad, so I won't trip.

All of this Nike vs. UA vs. Adidas vs. whoever is silly.  They're all the same.  UA pulled some Nike moves with a lot of releases.  All of them release great product and crap product.  Facts.  I'm just glad they have pretty generous return policies so I can send back whatever I don't like.

At the end of the day, buy, wear, support whatever you like in life that makes you happy. There's always people that will have negative things to say. Just do you and they do them. Simple but yet so hard of a concept to grasp.

are you implying that I'm dumb?!

Looking forward to picking up Haight St after work. This will be curry 2 #9 for me (ISI, S&T, NL, FtS, FG, DNH, DNA, RM). Providence road (my high school colors) next then I'll hold off until curry 2 splash.

I've always worn Nike but never did the Jordan thing. The last time I went to a footlocker/champs prior to my current binge was 2001 for some Nike Air Max Griffey. Been doing to Nike outlet thing.

I've been happy with the switch, though. Currys look and feel great and I like the $129 price point. I hoop in my S&T indoors everyday.

Nah man not what I'm implying. Never mind we had this conversation. This going nowhere. Cop or drop.

If you like them buy them, if you don't then don't.

 

[si3n4]

Really liking the Haight Streets. Saw them in person earlier today. Wasn't originally planning to get them but I think i'll grab a pair in the next couple of days.

Since fanboy is a talking point right now, I typically only play basketball in Kobes, but bought the black/yellow Curry 1 and long shot 2. Going to wear one of them for the first time tonight to play pick up, but want to ask which is superior performance-wise?

I like the 1's better than the 2's but most feel the 2's are better.

You have pros and cons for each? Doesn't need to be too in depth or extensive. Just curious more than anything.

I remember kind of reading about both, but it was some time ago.

 

[philosophre]

i like 1 more than 2 atm. that lip on the sole keeps catching the floor on the 2

 

[deezyvsop2]

They are neck and neck.  The only thing clearly better on one shoe might be the Curry 2's traction.

Everything else in my opinion is preference.  I like the transition of the Curry 1, and the cushioning/traction of the Curry 2.

 

[bbwt97]

They're both great shoes that perform well but with different approaches, if that makes sense.

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

i'm really sleeping on the suit and ties

Trance - this is a thread appreciating UA - if you are smart you know people in here will tell you to buy the shoe. It is how appreciation threads work. The people who don't like the shoe don't usually come in here.

Second, no, no one called you dumb
Maybe self-conscious? Not sure of your age but you sound young so you are still easily influenced by others. Not that that is bad; you want to wear what is hype right now. I did too. But you owe Nike nothing, NOTHING, and acting like they will get jealous? They already won, they have you mind and soul.

The part that sounds bad is you keep asking "should i, should i". Look at yourself - do you like the shoes? There is your answer.

1. No I don't hate UA and I am a smart person but probably wasn't acting smart at that moment. For 2, Yes I am a lil bit self conscious thank you! I am 19 btw if you wanted to know. True, I am easily influenced by others, but it seems as if these "other people" you are referring to at least where I live in Minneapolis, I don't typically see a ton of people wearing Currys. Maybe a few people here and there, but on my bro's basketball team there is this other kid who has both the Curry 2 Dub Nation colorways (the white ones and the blue ones) and he's THE ONLY person on the team who has Currys whatsoever. But I did go to one of his tournament games in Hastings,MN and EVERYONE I MEAN EVERYONE was wearing either the LeBron 12 low Entourages, The Blue and yellow Curry 2 Dub Nations or the White Dub Nations because Hastings colors were blue and yellow. That particular day I forgot to wear my LeBron 12 low Entourages to "fit in with the hype" but maybe that was a good thing. I ended up wearing my KD7 weathermans instead and that was fine. And NOOO I'm not worried bout them gettin jealous of me switchin, it's probably just my excessive problems with making decisions (indecisiveness) But all the kids around me are wearing Nike Free's, not Currys and thats what got me into the Nike Boat in the first place, thats the hype I caved for. I'm usually someone who resists hype, but if stuff gets hyped up too much then I usually cave. IK Nike don't need nothin from me, but then again it's the indecisiveness and being self-conscious about leaving a brand I've been with for 2-3 years now. And lastly, I do like the shoes enough now to cop them and have just enough room in my closet plus 2 more spots for 2 more pairs of Nike or UA shoes as well. I want now to cop the Curry 1 lows, Curry 1 Highs, and Curry 2s (im sleepin on the Curry 2 lows,they wack). And btw when do the Curry 3s release? Cause I also reserved a spot for them in my closet as well. It can hold up to 15 pairs, I already have 10 pairs now and 3 pairs of LeBron slides as well.

 

[jay88]

im just sick of Curry2s releasing with white outsoles! haha

looking forward to the All-Stars and BHM
