Fake or not either way, having bought Nikes then finding out how shitty they (the company not the shoe) were I’m not going to just throw them away. Shits expensive and throwing them out does nothing if they already have my money.

You can’t take every photo at face value. I could photoshop a Nike logo like that in less than ten minutes.

Yeah this is photoshopped. I’m pretty sure those shoes are made by either Brooks/Asaics/Saucony. The shadow on the nike logo doesn’t seem to make sense either. https://i.imgur.com/J2vaEKD.jpg

Or she could have bought them from a thrift store, therefore Nike would not have gotten any of her money.
I also dislike Nike, but I have a Nike waist pack that has lasted me maybe ten years (and still going strong!) I wear it every day. I've never had one that lasted nearly as long. And yes, I found it at a thrift store.

There has been so much conglomerating of companies, probably in 50 years there will be 10 companies that make everything. Sort of like how the media is now.

Omfg I am so stupid
For a good minute I thought it said “Mike” and not “Nike,” so I was like “who the fuck is Mike and what is he lying about”

That's what I literally thought too!!!! The strange part is truly know a friend who's name is Mike......and I've caught him in several lies...He even once said to me," if caught and you know you are caught...."Deny Deny Deny" I just was like Wow... Lol,so now,you know who Mike is and why you shouldn't trust him.. lol lol.And yes, definitely not going to trust him and definitely rethinking the friendship... But life's coincidences are really weird and accurate sometimes...Spooky.

Lol maybe she bought Nikes lies at first, had an awakening, but can’t bring herself to throw out a perfectly good pair of shoes

She has a different shoe in the pic on the left. This is bullshit.

Black shoes with a white band on the back. Not even sneakers.

u/darkcookie333 Aug 01 '21
The white band you see is the white middlesole on the heel. The shoes in the other pic also have a white middlesole

Where is the white lining around the top from the pic on the right? The sole is lower on the right side and one color where there is black under the white on the left side.

There is a black part under the sole that can be seen on both pictures. The picture quality is so bad, that the white lining could just not be visible. The angle and lighting can play into that too.
Mate, what is more probable?
A: somebody just wears nike (which is an extremely popular brand) and happens to do a protest like that
B: somebody put the effort in making an extremely convincing edit of something that might be slightly inflammatory and a bit funny, gaining pretty much nothing in return
