I have Converse, PF Flyers, SeaVees, Adidas, Keds, and Hoka One One. And not a pair of Nikes in sight, unless you count Converse.

Are Nikes the most common shoe brand? It feels like they are.

Nike is the biggest apparel company in the world, like twice the size of the next biggest.

Only the Roshe Twos are on sale. The reviews are all "Wahh wahh" that Twos are crap compared to original Roshe. Any truth to that?

Also any strong feelings on standard vs flyknit?

Ohhh I see. I have the originals, but I think the Twos look good as well, and friends w them haven't had problems! I prefer standard to flyknit, but that's totally personal preference. I think it's hard to go wrong.

Sure, anyway you look at those numbers, but largest is a really vague word when describing a company like that. If by largest you're talking volume of apparel I can't believe Dior outsells Nike.

Nah, 10-inch equipment is too expensive, and nobody gives a poo poo about the smaller reels, so I couldn't unload them if I started picking them up. Don't have the space for it either.

Also, I'm all about cassette tapes. They are crap, but incredibly cheap, and it's interesting to see what kind of recordings you can get on good equipment.

Fiebing's Saddle Soap
Melatonian creme polishes
Saphir leather rejuvenator
Saphir neutral wax polish for the gleam
Kiwi applicator/daubers
This brush from Kirby Allison's Hanger Project is supposed to be pretty good. I should have just paid the insane marup for his stuff on Amazon, now everything but the bush is here so it's all pretty much useless!

Also, these 601 La Bomba cigars are bombastic and amazing and like half off, got me a box of Nuclears:
