Growing up poor in the 80s/90s Nike was a hated symbol, there was no chance I’d get anything beyond walmart brands, if new was even an option. So I learned to hate these symbols, but Nike chief among them. Today it’s funny but I can’t bring myself to buy it even tho it’s a much cheaper brand.

I can relate. I grew up in the Mississippi Delta so poverty was certainly not a lifestyle choice.
