ok went to the store to get some new Doc’s, started looking at the selection and thought to myself wow do these look cheap. So i take a look on the inside tag and boom! made in china… booooooo for the doc people for changing the quality of the shoe… the shoe looks sooooo cheap now and the sides are flimsy. I am so pissed. i asked the girl when this happened and she was like 8 months ago. gosh… i hate when people do that kinda shit it really pisses me off. I feel like being like my gram and writing them a letter! why would i want to buy a pair of 100 dollar plus shoes from freakin china! ---

> [@whitey](#): > > not me, i piss on nikes… they are terrible quality. I will only by New Balance, made in USA! Both are terrible anymore. I had a pari of new balance and they lasted 3 months then the soles started falling off. I;m sick of high prices and cheep quality. Thats bullshit. If they charge 100 dallars for the quality should be worth 100. You get what you pay for. At least thats how it used to be when I was growing up… ---
