I've never purchased a pair and don't plan to, but I wonder what the ratio is between people who genuinely don't like Cariuma and people who hate Cariuma because it's cool to hate Cariuma. I doubt they're any worse than Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Converse, or Vans.
That reminds me, what brands are we allowed to buy in Q1 2022? Can I get a core report from the Gatekeepers Society? I haven't been here for a while and last I heard, all big brands were illegal, Polar was wack (and I assume Last Resort would be wack by association), and Lakai was once OK but is now wack.
