Yea, that's what happens when design is based on quarterly marketing projections over durability and future sales.
Looking at the "Story Boards" that each design team had to produce with the shoe, you could see it was about producing a package, rather than designing a shoe.

Packaging is a huge deal. And if not right can screw a bunch of stuff up that you don't think would happen. Sometimes those f-ups can be expensive. If it's over packed it can be expensive and waste room before and after the product is in it. That extra expense can really add up. If it's under packed then returns will be high. That's just looking at it as an expense.....marketing is another story. After the sale is great to get customers to come back. Just think of a bunch of peanuts........would you like that compared to custom cut foam? No if you spent good money on something you wanna see that......"you're opening your product." My FIL was a packaging designer. And that is a big part of the things I do....individual product packaging and bulk packaging for the same products.

durability and future sales.

I have exclusively worn Reebok Club near to 40 years.

No other style interests me.

Only one pair has ever disappointed me.

I'll go for a triple post. I've been researching e-bikes all week, and decided to build one. I am ordering a 1500 watt rear hub motor today for a donor 26" WalMart aluminum mountain bike I am making into a cruiser. Front suspension only. It'll be for paved trails, or maybe a gravel road. Still deciding on a battery....So many battery choices, from $100 direct from China to $500 for a name brand, buy here battery. I'll probably go middle of the road...Chinese with a warranty bought here in the states, for around $200. Should be able to build it for around $500 with the free donor bike. From everything I have read they are scary fast, over 30 mph. My stimulus money fun project!

This cost me almost a £1000 to re build . Brought back plenty of memories from when I was 11- 13 years old .
Haro bikes where the bikes every kid wanted .
