> you wouldn't be caught dead wearing Common Projects and would be embarrassed for someone wearing them Y'know, you seem more focused on logos and their importance than anybody else here. I would never been embarrassed for someone wearing a certain kind of shoe. I'm not judging people based on logos, since what brand of shoe someone else is wearing has absolutely no impact on my life.
