People run around with nike logos

And pay for it. People are walking ads

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.

This is why I spent my highschool years in combat boots. Ankle support, tough soles, the same footwear was great for hiking, shopping, whatever. Inconspicuous if your pant legs cover them. Like $40 at the time. Lasted me beyond school.

Only downside was I lived in a desert so too much time outside would make them really hot. That, and I got a lot of people scuffing them going "HEY ARE THOSE STEEL TOE?!" (they were not)

Meanwhile shoes that fall apart in 3 months had some giant billboard logo so you'd have to keep up with their latest image, I guess. Gross.
