And I edited the last one a little more, so the insult on the wall is really not legible now ;-)

Just as a friendly note, since it's the second time in two days that you walk by a wall featuring pretty extreme political writings...I hope tomorrow's walk will go a bit better! ;-) Thank-You.

You'll likely appreciate that the Pepsi GMT was recently polled as one of the top 40 fashion icons of all time. The only other watch to make the list was the Casio G Shock. [nt]

The blro really belongs with the all time greats because of things like this. It is both an iconic watch design and an iconic object somewhat removed from it's original intent.

Sneakerheads and anyoje who collections sneakers of ANY kind knows that Jordans are the grails, not Chuck Taylors. This list is subjective at best. YMMV 🤦‍♂️

Fair point. The list is the result of a survey conducted on 2000 Americans. Nike Air Max are on it, Gucci loafers and sliders, crocs and Louboutin red pumps.

Also UGG boots, Vans and Birkenstocks. Interesting results but a lot of the stuff is not the trendsetter or game changer stuff for collectability like Jordans. There are many staples on there. So it is not so much grail stuff that people think of when que...

I do understand and respect your point BUT no single shoe has affected culture and the market as much as the Jordan have...

Based on the definition of iconic, nothing comes close to the Jordans in terms of cultural change, brand history, sales, etc... Before Jordans, there were ZERO sneakerheads (collectors). Basically, the Jordans are the Rolex Paul Newmans of the shoe game. ...
