Gash Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Sickening. Although not as bad when Nike infamously used Ian MacKaye's image to sell shoes. Or Khaki's using Kerouac to sell their trousers. I resent that companies try to make an association between the talent of individuals and equate their success with that persons choice of something so trivial like footwear.

Syk Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 At first I was totally into getting these, but that was when I was really into Nirvana for a little bit.Now I would rather design my own converses from the site and buy those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
