Why are Nike shoes some of the most awful looking pieces of shit on the market? I wouldn't pay 1 cent for their overpriced ugly crap. Who really thinks these things look good?! Their designers should be fired.

Oh, and I hate their commercials.

ETA: I'm a New Balance guy. Been running with them for years.

Yea like 3 years ago, I could go to nike and find 1 or 2 good looking pairs of shoes and the rest were crap. Now they all are crap. I fear my favorite New Balances are heading in the same direction. Last time I looked there were very few rugged looking leather cross trainers available. Looks like I am going to have to stick with Timberlands.

Merrell and Asolo make some excellent rugged cross-trainers and boots for all environments - As for big-name brands - Adidas has on occasion too.

The only time I buy Nike's is when I get the employee discount through a friend for over 50% off.

I STILL don't beleive the shoes are even worth what they are at 50% so I don't do it very often.

Asolo does make some good kicks, but around here they are really hard to find and REALLY expensive. Merrell on the other hand are easy to find, moderately priced, but I have had bad luck with them coming apart rather quickly.

I got a huge kick out of a satire article the onion wrote a year or so ago.

The headline was

"NIKE TO STOP SELLING SHOES, PLANS TO FOCUS ON COMMERCIALS"

Its soo true its almost not funny.
