I never understood branding, and people being attracted to a name. Well before it was popular for athletes to brand items LA Gear was very popular with people who were always following the latest trends. I burned through shoes running on trails and playing pick up basketball. I tried lots of brands at the time finding New Balance and Brooks to have the best combination of comfort and durability. One time I decided to try on some LA Gear to see what the rage was about. I swear it felt like walking around with boards tied to my feet, they had no cushion at all, hard as rocks. Worse yet I remember them costing $150 when my shoes at the time were $75. I understand being attached to a brand if it represents a quality product, but not when it is expensive because of just a name.
