Absolutely No shame in admitting that Ive been wearing Croc's for years and gone through many pairs. Lately I've ditched them for Telic flops. Even more comfort and, at least for me, more support.

that said this was a collusion between Nike and kaep. They put the shoe out so he could complain about it so it would keep him relevant. Don’t worry he’ll go away soon.
It's not made up. Ask any of the ladies who have ever attended one of the UGA Women's Football Clinics. When my wife and daughter came back with all sorts of good information, I was p i s s e d that I couldn't go! Plus they had a blast. Did offensive and defensive meetings and ran through some scrimmages. My wife was put at QB. Soon as they lined up, she screams "OMAHA"! Cracked up the entire coaching staff. Of course most of the other women didn't know what she was doing. My daughter made the best catch of the day and received a team signed Belk Bowl commemorative football (when Chubb ran for over 200 yards on Grantham's D). Was hoping she might give it to the old man but it hasn't happened.............YET!
Back to the subject, I don't come here with made up stuff or propaganda. I don't have an agenda. And just because someone doesn't agree with me or I don't agree with someone else, I don't take me ball and leave. You can take it or leave it.
@PlayHurt I ain't buying what you are selling. No reason that a silver colored game pants - which Nike doesn't offer - would weigh appreciably more than any other color. But you get points for piling more on. So,
Here is an explanation for the silver britches. Scroll down through the article to get to the reasoning.

Stick with Nike.
I don’t think they are afraid of using the American flag I mean they sponsor the USWNT and that has a flag on the jersey.
Outside of all of the historical reasons for that particular flag not being used, why are so many people so falsely patriotic when it comes to flags being used but not when it comes to supporting troops when they return?
Mostly just whining cause they’re not getting their way...
I just think it’s funny when people get upset about things they hear and not look into themselves.
Is this for real? 20 years in the Marines and I never met anyone who was offended by any version of the American flag. None. Zero. If you are offended by our flag, you are free to leave.
Apparently (and I wasn’t aware of this) racist hate groups like the KKK use the colonial 13 star flag. Kap didn’t want to be associated with it and suggested Nike shelve the shoe.
So they did. A bit reactionary, but I think we can all agree we don’t want to be associated with the KKK and Nazis right? If that isn’t common ground for all of us, then I don’t know what to say.
Again...reactionary move by Nike. Kind of silly to kowtow to a (mostly) goof like Kap. But I understand more why they did it and why UGA is never switching from Nike.
And as I said earlier, the knockoff jerseys everyone buys...Nike gets none of that so in a weird way you can still boycott them this way. Enjoy your Skechers
This was an opportunity, albeit in a small way, to do just that. It’s unfortunate we didn’t take it.
Hes is a poor choice for figurehead
Before we talked, McGarity checked in with John Meshad, the athletic association’s director of equipment operations, about the uniform pants. The gist of what Meshad told him, McGarity said, was “It all gets down to Nike being able to provide the material. They have this shiny material called Cordura. Unfortunately, it’s a heavier material and, when it gets wet with rain or sweat, it adds a pound or a pound and a half to the overall weight of the uniform,” which UGA finds unacceptable.
“It is not as good a performance model as the current Nike material,” McGarity said, and “they haven’t been able to make a better performing shiny material. They’re hoping to lessen the weight, but they have not been able to solve that problem.”
I speculated that perhaps not enough teams request such a material in order for it to become a priority for Nike. “I guess not,” McGarity said.
Still, he said, “It doesn’t mean we have stopped advocating for it or asking for it.”
