People run around with nike logos
And pay for it. People are walking ads
There’s a cyberpunk novel called Feed in which some teenager got a trendy Nike tattoo that would force him to say “Nike” in every sentence. I think that’s the next step in our deliberate effort to pay for the privilege of branding ourselves.
That sounds like those youtubers
I just realized how odd it would be to see people walking around in brandless clothes. As odd as when someone removes all the badges from their car.
The advertising has been so prevalent for so long that it has been normalized. Fascinating.

Expensive designer brands also have multiple lines, the cheapest lines have their logo printed on in bold. While the expensive lines have no branding at all. If you wear expensive designer clothing that screams out the branding then it just shows that you can’t afford the good stuff.
You mean like a suit? Like plenty of clothing, designer or not, has no branding at all.
hmmm I don’t really care about having a logo on my undershorts. Usually I’m really bothered about advertisements but in that circumstance it doesn’t really bother me.
doesnt help that every other brand of cycling shorts suck
Some people wear underwear with huge names on them. I don’t understand it. Good for you if it does not bother you.
I’m not liking the idea that my partner sees an ad every time we get intimate
That’s why I like mine: Very subtle branding, though if I could I’d prefer unbranded. But I only bought them because I liked the color scheme and they were comfortable.
Fun fact: The colors of them are:
Ties: Electric Blue
Main material: Thunderstorm blue
Soles: Fog greyI just think the colors have funny but cool names :)
Edit: (Please put the hate for Linus Tech Tips (LTT) to the side for now)
I actually like the way LTT brands some of it’s merchandise.
Some is subtle/stealth, some is only on tags or subtly integrated in the graphic design.
I generally dislike their prominent branded items.How can you tell that it’s a good shoe? I tried resesrching it but it’s wishy-washy
These are my second pair (the first was looking a bit too well used).
Very light but good sole. Can walk in them for very long withoutbhaving sore feet.
But that’s all subjective ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If the zippers didn’t suck the LTT back pack would be the perfect one for me.
You mean the carabiners they already said they replaced?
Wild I stopped watching LTT a few years ago. Should probably contact customer support then because I really do love the back pack.
Probably yes.
Won’t hurt to at least ask.Edit: Quick search for the problem: https://youtu.be/WYCa3PA7Z9U
But as you saod: Just contact customer support
Sure, but good luck finding a decent quality running shoe without conspicuous branding at a local shop though.
Can’t wear it, if they don’t make it.
Thanks for mentioning that. I have no idea how to judge a shoe’s quality. I have to do some research
brb, gonna run a marathon in a pair of Oxfords
Same with shopping bags with supermarket logos
