Hmm so after here are some cheaper brands that I feel are slept on:

Fila shoes (they're cheaper than Nikes, often running at around $50, but some designs look a lil like it has an upside down Nike swoosh so that's cool. and they ALWAYS look nice.)

Puma shoes (very similar to Nikes, but also have a slight Converse feel to 'em.)

Vans (everybody's thirsting after expensive Nikes or high end Converse shows but honestly Vans will never run out of style, they're basically cheap Converse shoes...with no soles...that said Amazon has some cheap converse shoes...)

Swatch (Ain't nobody talking about Swatches but they look epic, there are tons of unique designs to choose from, and all the bands and interchangeable so you can mix and match em.)

Amazon Essentials (You can honestly always find nice Amazon Essentials stuff. I haven't bought any of their clothing products yet but their hoodies, shirts, and pants look cool, and they're cheap.)

ManyBooks.net has many nice FREE ebooks. Classic, public domain and newer CC licensed ones too.

Including a good selection of modern Sci-Fi books, Cory Doctorow’s titles and others.

Cory Doctorow’s titles on file there: manybooks.net/search-book?sear

Nice site, recommended.

I'm no Stranger Things fan but these are also fire. Only downside is they say "1985" on the back instead of Nike, which leans a bit too heavily into the vintage vibe for my taste.

I like this design because I like it, not cuz it's old.

It's literally like Converse or Vans but better because it's Nike

The women's ones look SO MUCH better than the mens' tho...

I have seen the classic Nike Blazers and I am in love.

@realcaseyrollins Very true. It could be them seeking escape from the pressure and despair at possible failure too.

My son would disappear off the ether anytime that major evaluations, projects or exams where close by.

When you see college students protesting this time of year realize that they're probably gonna flunk out cuz they sure ain't studying for finals

⚠️ Another quick reboot, I'm sorry people..! Last time, I promise! ⚠️

@realcaseyrollins There are differing definitions. This one from Richard Stallman, the creator of free software and the gnu project, is very interesting too: stallman.org/articles/on-hacki
