I think Nike is one of the greatest brands of clothings there is , I dunno what you people are talking bout.... Currently I'm wearing Reebok's (which is a great brand as well) but I own a pair of Nike Air Force One's as well , I don't care bout adidas or any other brand cuz I only buy American brands except for Fila then (which is Italian I guess) Fila has some great stuff ....
And if you want some shoes that last long , you gotta buy Timberlands those are some shoes that last long, they might get pricy sometimes but I guess you can wear them for 5 years or longer....
