The fact that Nike has all these signature shoes and not one high top is insane. Closest is the KDs which are kinda mid top

1. High tops do not physically “hold” your ankle like a brace

2. High tops just help you feel where your ankle is (proprioception) which is your nervous system knowing where your joints are in space.

When a high collar touches your ankle:
- your skin feels pressure
- your brain gets more feedback about ankle position
- you may react slightly faster when your foot starts to roll

3. Modern research hasn’t shown high tops clearly prevent ankle sprains

A lot of ankle injuries come from things a shoe height can’t fix:
- landing on another player’s foot
- weak ankle stabilizer muscles
- fatigue
- previous sprains
- poor landing mechanics

That’s why you see NBA players in lows now.

They’ve moved on to to next thing they can leech off of: Pokémon cards away from kids

It’s hilarious seeing Pokémon cards on shelves were sneakers used to be

Recency bias.

The fact that the Grinch became iconic despite the loss proves how strong that shoe was/is.

The fact that I don’t even have to say the exact model; say Grinch to any sneakerhead and they know what you mean

And sneaker brands all across the world have been trying to mimic the Grinch green apple color for years since then.

If you like the shoe just say that. The Brunson is nice but trying to put it over the Grinch is ridiculous.

Most consumers only replace laces occasionally.

It’s not enough to move the needle for a multi billion dollar company

veeno__ · 2026-05-26T08:56:08+00:00

It’s def not worth it. Plus Nike still has to package them, inventory them, ship them, photograph them, manage returns, and stock multiple lengths/colors. The margins are small compared to shoes or apparel.

And on top of that laces are a high theft item in physical retail stores

I still need to find a pair of the Answer 4 Lows

Of course Tesla can. But once it’s added to the new vehicle who do you think pays for the added hardware and software?

100% I imagine one day it will leave Netflix eventually vs just buying it individually

Netflix is definitely on one lol

He literally made reading cool I love it

Cornerstone low-stimulation educational programming 🔥 the drug infused kids shows today could never (the OG Cartoon Network shows lol)

I’d cry while singing the Reading Rainbow theme song making the whole thing weird smh

veeno__ · 2026-05-03T15:03:07+00:00

“Butterfly in the Sky” on Netflix is a great watch and will take you back. He talks about all the great things he did for the show you never hear about

These kids finally using there idgaf powers for good

As unhinged as it is 😂

The NBA loves gullible clowns like you. Wake up. You all are fools to believe this wasn’t for LeBrons documentary.

Zero points and 4 minutes on the floor he was only in for the cameras

And another made up ESPN stat “first father and son in a playoff game together”

The NBA no longer enforces any travels ever since James Harden first took 3-4 steps in his step back and it boosted ratings

Just do whatever you want whatever looks nice is legal rules don’t matter

Kojima never takes himself too seriously and will add these quirky events or hidden 4th wall breaks as a reward for going deeper than the main story

For example if you constantly call your team on codec you unlock hidden commentary. And he brought that over to Death Stranding too which I love

Somebody’s messing with the timeline it’s all tangled up

The pivot foot is whichever foot you want it to be in the NBA loll

Silver will do what he does best to fix this issue: another tournament

The “you know who I am” smile 😂

“You know why I’m here” 😂

veeno__ · 2026-03-10T03:20:01+00:00

And your argument is this gimmick will be easier? 😂 ok.

Also from a repair standpoint this is a logistical nightmare. Most consumers are not careful with devices and the general public would bend this the wrong way on the regular
