I'm really curious, why is it that so many people don't want Roshe Runs, sk8-his or obey or whatever, simply because a lot of people have them?
Is this a bad thing? I personally think it's cool to see people wearing the same items as you and also makes you strive to make fits that look better than the people wearing the same thing.

Individuality.

But shouldn't how you wear the piece be more important than the piece by itself?
People want to be special and exlusive haha. Something funny about this is that they still want brand recognition though. So they wont rock some obscure brand. Some people are just like that. Ive got some rare stuff. Ive got some common stuff. It dosent really matter to me if someone else has it. If it did, i wouldnt try and be exclusive with streetwear, id go after all the stuff I see in Robb Report.
That isn't a real answer though, in that it doesn't get into the actual cause; Why people think that way is the root question here, imo.
Theyre insecure, they want to be cool, they want to be well received, they want to innovate, they want to be good at something.
Definitely.
Looks uninspired if everyone else is doing it
Well, scientifically speaking, humans are just animals. Almost all animals have various mating rituals that involve setting them apart from the others in the pack/area/whatever.
The bigger city you live in, the harder people will try to set themselves apart from others. Its not something they're even aware of, its just part of our biological programing.
Confirmation bias.
Exclusivity for that good ol' sense of elitism.
Roshe Runs are alright, but seeing them everywhere just turns me off of them, personally.
