My theory has been businesses make their products white for the same reasons why you hate them to be white.. so you have to come back and get more when the shit tarnishes, it's that simple. White soled sneakers should be illegal. It's amazing Air Force ones are as popular as they are but you really can't wear them more than the first weekendI don't know exactly when the change for me came, but I can't stand white sneakers or white socks. I can rock some charcoal gray, red even green (the right green) but the older I got the more I started to hate white shoes and socks. Is it an age thing or am I just weird?
