As a Detroiter I always feel like it’s my responsibility to tell people Shinola was started by the guy who made his millions from fossil. They are mall watches gilded with lies.

Running stores carry usually higher quality gear than you’d get at mall stores. Don’t just look at the brand, but actually inspect the quality of the materials and the sewing. I have had best luck with Brooks and Saucony branded gear bought at running stores. Nike cannot be trusted, it’s just a logo at this point. . . They make some higher quality stuff but you can’t assume it’s high quality because it says Nike. An $135 brooks running jacket is worth 50 crappy sierra trading or factory outlet running long sleeves.
