Nike is high status?

[ghaff]

Probably to at least some degree among kids. No one else cares. Just like no one else cares about green bubbles vs. blue bubbles. But some people feel a need to convince themselves that no one would buy an Apple product for any reason but status.

Certainly not every Apple user cares about the status of it, but certainly far more users that care about the status of their devices are Apple users.

[ghaff]

I guess but probably no more than the number of Samsung users who think they’re making some sort of anti-Apple statement.

Nike can be extremely high status to some groups. Certain Air Jordans go for 10s of thousands of dollars.
