Do you ever show off you expensive brand names? I know most of you always try to avoid showing any branding. Sometimes if I just want to feel like a pimp though, I'll wear my versace scarf, prada jeans, etc...

Not all the time, but just every once in a while.

Is it wrong that I really want these shoes?

Is that a logo on the pattern? Don't recognise it. Personally I don't like those but hey, you're not me

It's Gucci, but I agree with skalogre, not many people would be able to spot it. Looks kinda similar to the prints on fake "LV" handbags though.

No. I wear clothes, I don't wear designers.

It's a perverted conception of stature induced by over commercialization, in a fucked kinda way, you are normal and so are those tacky shoes.

That's elitist bullshit. It sounded really cool for a second though.

I don't think there's anything wrong with getting something if it's good but getting something for the name is awful. So if you're getting the shoes for the design or quality instead of the name then it's cool in my book.

I'm so elitist I embroider my own name on my jeans after I've removed the designer logo.

Not to be combative but watch as I prove my point.

Hey Bike756, why don’t you get a pair of Common Projects instead? They cost just as much as pair you pictured above and no one here will ask if that is why you actually bought them.

I show the brands I'm wearing all the time, yesterday I was like "Hey baby, look at my Ugo Cacciatori ring!!" Then she said "U-what?" and threw her drink in my face. Do you think I should switch Gucci?

I sew the inside labels from my Tommy Hilfiger shirts to the outside so people can see my steez. I also leave the brand tag on the sleeve of my Dockers sport coats.
