It's hard, I know. You look at etnies as a whole and see bmx,surfing,mall bullshit but I try to just focus on this little sect with dill,creager,malto and others that I like.
It's not like you're wearing calicuts or something. They're very nondescript basic shoes and you're supporting someone you like. But I can fully appreciate not wanting to support something because of association too. It's probably my age that allows me to look past things and only see what I want. If I try hard enough I can find something to be bummed on about most everything these days. But I'd rather put the energy towards finding something good about it. To each there own though.
I do see what you're getting at. As far as shoes go, if I like the shoes, and think they'd be good to skate in, I'll rock 'em.
