You are right about this. Part of my reason is that most people don’t care after the first few weeks. Also, sneakers aren’t like tech where things just get out of date but can still serve their original purpose. Most sneakers, after being heavily worn, look terrible and fall apart. All that being said, I like this ideas of looking back at a long term wear. Especially for performance product.

1 month? 3? 6? A year?

@YoungCorey I'm also not sure how many people who do get seeded, actually wear the product...
On feet pics seem rare from most reviewers, don't think I've ever seen a long-term how the sneaker holds up in weather take.
Or does it just sit for awhile, till it's time for a sale 🗣️🤔

* The people that sent it are trying to get you to work for free even though they wouldn’t do their jobs for free. Be thoughtful about what you choose to promote and make sure it benefits you as much as it benefits them. They call it “earned media” meaning they earned it without having to pay you for helping them sell their product.

Flight, Force and Uptempo are back, and if you were around in the late '80s and '90s, you know those names used to tell you who you were on the court. The bigs wore Force, the guards wore Flight, and Uptempo showed up in the mid-'90s. Now Nike says it'll use the same three names to sort every hoop shoe it makes, starting with the G.T. Flight, G.T. Force and G.T. Uptempo.
