im not a sneakerhead, but when i buy sneakers i do go for aesthetics -- low cut, sleek design, quiet color scheme

basketball sneakers (in black)
walking shoes
pumas, etc

i just dont "get" the visual appeal of blocky Dunks

 
I think the Dunks look better than your choices.

Dunks are about color and matching. I can't pull them off, but theres some style to those shoes.
 
They arn't great looking, but not seriously ugly either... sorta plain IMO.

Of course I choose sneakers based mainly on how comfortable they are so what do I know.

Dunks are amazing. Are you into kicks at all? What shoes do you like?

Stop with your BS about "kicks". If you knew anything about shoes, you'd know that Nike uses sweatshop labor. Reebok doesn't, so why would you buy Nike?

Edit: And fvck Michael Jordan and his overpriced shoes. Way to exploit dumb ghetto kids.

Jnco jeans were overpriced like hell. It was $60 a pair.

Almost every western company utilizes sweatshops in some manner. Many of the companies have taken big steps to improving conditions.

As for dunks... I personally love them. I have been a big sneaker head since a kid and probably won't ever stop buying and collecting shoes.
