6. You can get basic colors, even in some high end shoes.

Helps if you go somewhere with a big inventory, or a manufacturer's store. We have a New Balance store here with tremendous selection.

7. More visual polution

notice those beeping noises that trucks make when they back up ,notice the alarms , buzzes ,beeps , flashing lights everywhere ?

after a while nobody notices them and our day glo slave made sneakers are another worthless scam we pay for to be NOTICED .

don't get me started

8. It's a sign

It's a sign of the decline of civilisation and a harbinger of the coming apocalypse and famine.

I think it was mentioned in the book of Revelation.
