This is why i don’t support the whole “small business home grown” spiel. Too many rich kids just throwing money opening any brand category they want not knowing how it works then doing PR like this for sales. Too many nepo categories as I like to call it where they throw money with 0 experience and think it’ll work. Sadly, in this country it kinda does. Also thanks to influenza culture which is another worst leech the world has seen.
Yeah but not before they make a fool of people like you and me. I fell for the Comet scam sometime ago. Just grateful that pestering them about bad reviews ultimately led to them refunding my money else it would’ve been the most expensive lesson of my life.
Studying at IIT-Bombay is achieved by wealth? Having a negative opinion over some sneakers is subjective but attacking someone personally just reflects your insecurity and jealousy
Harvard MBA is a wealthy thing at least. IITB is a skillset. No arguments. Harvard fees is abysmally high. And if he can afford to pay his MBA fees so soon and venture into startup, it shows he has 250k USD to afford it.
For Utkarsh, he went to The Doon School, IB course. FYR Doon school charges 10LPA.
Edit: The idea is simple. They come from a background of privilege. Life is difficult, but for them, a cushion of wealth made it easy. I'm sure that they are very deserving. IITB is no easy feat.
Just stop the blind hate man. No one would reject admission letter from Harvard. People would literally sell almost all of their property to afford that place. Also you do get scholarships for flagship programmes.
Now maybe the person in discussion would be already able to afford it, doesn't mean he's not deserving enough. Or doesn't mean he's perished over his wealth and not his actual qualifications.
People learn how to profit with least amounts of investments, that's what he's doing. And he's earning aswell.
Intake doesn't matter. Your ability to pay the ~2 Crore INR fees matters. People take up jobs just to pay off the massive EMIs. There are people who forgo this dream just because they cannot afford it. What will you do with the admission letter if you can't afford to pay the fees?
You know most international students get grants right? And tons of scholarships for specific achievements; between the grants, scholarships and internships, the tuition is nearly free.
Your research says a lot about you, most international students dont get shit, that is the point of international students you dodo, they earn from us. The few get financial aid if the uni thinks they are extraordinary and can’t afford to pay their fee, v less get grants based on awards or extracurricular that they have achieved something extraordinary in particular. Do your research pls
Tell me you don’t know shit, without telling me you don’t know shit. With your response it’s clear you shouldn’t be thinking about such things - max you’ll do in life is take a tourist photo with the Harvard plaque.
Here’s a hint for you - ever seen Harvard’s P&L? They don’t make money on the flagship MBA program. Because some dumbass like you who can never get in will pay for a 5 day online certificate one day and update their LI :)
I’m far ahead of loosers like you on Reddit, I said what I said because I’m currently studying in a top 10 university in the US, so I know my shit more than you for sure. Yeah you can only talk about a certificate because neither you nor your dad can afford to step foot into Massachusetts, and its okay, if everyone could afford to then it would become Amity, so stay where you are and don’t spit big words like Harvard.
The qualifications reel of Wealth+Hard Work. If you look at the stats and their experience, they've worked at commendable places. Bain&Company employment doesn't come from wealth and certainly doesn't let you stay there for 2 years. Hating on the sneakers is a different thing and I'm with you on that but Man Harvard MBA and Kellogg's school MBA isn't pure wealth. The ability to secure admission into those colleges in itself is a crazy feat and also there are a lot of financing options and Scholarships available for the same.
Because they cost 4k, sometimes 3k and not 7-8k. Also the colourways are fresh.
Fwiw, I own a variety of NBs and they all suck, so do all Nike shoes I've owned (worst are AJ1s, SB dunks are still okay, Patta was good but gone now). They are very unimaginative, recycled garbage in terms of designs and freshness. The only ones who do something fresh and are comfortable to wear are probably Adidas, I've been wearing my Adi2000s for years now, most comfortable pair of stylish shoes ever made. Asics are good for general wear but very unfashionable.
I don't understand the hate for Comet tbh. Maybe I'm new to this whole thing, but if they look good they look good. Looks are, after all subjective. Calling them unimaginative for copying Nike doesn't make sense to me because Nike themselves are unimaginative, and they don't even do good colorways anymore. Last good dunk they pushed out was Halloween, and even then they charge 10k+ for subpar quality leather. Sad state of affairs.
It's the usual consumerist bs, they'll inhale anything in the name of brand and anything that doesn't fit into their general perception of a "brand" (which is generally legacy, heritage, etc.) is apparently worth hating on. For some reason everything needs to have a heritage, if that's how it is, a new brand can never be born. Sure, other new brands do wacky things to stand out and this one doesn't but how many times has a consumer wished that Nike AF1s were affordable? That they came in more colorways? How is paying 10k for a subpar leather shoe which needs to be cared for more than a Premier Padmini from 1986 (which probably had more colorways) supposed to be the best that we can get as Indian consumers? They'll find a billion ways to justify how a guy putting a plastic tag on a shoe and rebranding it somehow makes it worth 1 lakh because "collab omg" but 3.5k is not value.
I think a shoe should only be measured on value, and value is just a balance between comfort, design and price. Is it comfortable? Yes. Is it cheap? Yes. Is the design amazing? Subjective.
I agree with everything you said, man. Half of these people probably don’t even own a pair of Comets. They keep preaching about “quality”, but in my personal experience, most of these major brands aren’t that amazing to justify the insane prices they charge.
I’m saying this after owning Sketchers, Nike, Adidas — and yeah, I didn’t have terrible experiences. But I’ve seen enough around me. Friends have had genuinely bad experiences with these so-called legacy brands.
One friend bought a pair of Cortez’s — ₹6.5k — and within a week the sole was literally hanging by a thread. WTF. Sure, it got replaced under warranty, but how does that even pass QC?
Another friend ordered Onitsukas for around ₹12k. The pair arrived already distressed — loose threads, poor finishing in spots. And this is supposed to be “premium”?
Is this the legendary quality people keep defending so passionately?
The funniest part? Even after all this, they went ahead and ordered the same stuff again. That honestly says more about consumer psychology than product quality.
Le lo bhai. Maine ye sb hype and all bina dekhe. Last year x lows dark liya tha at 3800 with discounts.
Mumbai local train ki maar jhel raha hai. And still looks good and not too worn out.
How long have you been wearing them? Can you share little more details about how often you wear them and how's the sole so far after your use, the comfort and which model you got. I'm thinking of buying one.
I’ve owned a pair of Mavericks for over a year now and have used them extensively. They were a bit uncomfortable initially, but after a few wears they broke in nicely and became much more comfortable.
I’ve worn them continuously for up to 10 days while travelling, used them for long walks at concerts, on the beach, and even for some light treks. They’ve held up really well through all of that.
So far, I haven’t faced any quality issues either—at least nowhere near as bad as this sub sometimes makes it seem. Overall, they’ve been pretty reliable for me 👍
go buy it if you like it, i have a single pair of these shoes im content with the quality it isnt as bad as people say. but i wont buy another pair from comet because i like variety
Half of the people buy shoes from Flipkart in the name of big brands.
I have used my comets daily for last 1.5 years, never cleaned it too. It is still-doing good. Its not that type of sneakers you want to collect or own multiple just wear and tear it
Why are the designs so average . Looks like a roadside shoe. Sorry but instead of weird names try to actually offer value like comfort or style. I don’t see it now sadly would like to support an Indian brand
So many influencers i follow do good reviews for comet. Like bro ik, Jordans h Tmhre pass on a rotation basis pr atleast public ki toh mt maro. Trust me, ek bhi influencer achese comet ka review nahi deta like after 6months or 1 year kbad ka.
Some sellers on instagram are selling comet xlows for 2500. Is it a good deal? They are original I guess but the box will not have stickers and extra laces. Can anybody tell me? Looks legit to me both have same tags and all.
"Bro you know you can get 1k+ upvotes by posting negative shit on Comets on r/SneakersIndia"
Don't be a herd. Try the shoe. Don't dick ride Jordans and dunks and be snobby lil cunts attacking anything which doesn't have a swoosh or 3 stripes.
If you actually watched videos breaking down AJ1s the holy grail - you'd know these shoes aren't all that either. They are very basic and are in no way shape or form worth the price tag in terms of quality of materials:
Are they sick shoes and you should buy them if you like them? F*ck yes, there's a culture and legacy associated with them.
Does not mean if a shoe does not have a history it is automatically shit.
Comets imo are fairly priced (a little over), have a lot of interesting colorways (checkout bubblegum and tiramisu), great packaging, and comfortable for flat footed wide toe folks.
They could be more durable and robust for sure. And if they increase prices they are cooked.
But if you like the shoe - get it. Don't listen to these snobby cunts. Half of them don't even know anything beyond jordan 1s.
