Ok, maybe that's what it comes down to. I guess it's fine if it is. I'm just a bit surprised that I ask if I need to and then get frustrated when the answer is yes and everyone is super hostile about it. Maybe I come off as being more angry about needing Nikes than I actually am, idk.
Because I find it annoying to potentially have to wear Nike shoes? I genuinely don't get why I'm getting so much hate here. Was it supposed to be obvious? Is expressing any frustration over inconvenience on the internet bad?

Yes. Yes. Yes.
Just to be clear, if I decide the Nike shoes thing is an inconvenience worth living with, they're still better off without me because I consider it an inconvenience?

Please just show up and film yourself telling everyone "I don't care"
"I'm overcoming significant inconvenience in order to grace you all with my presence"
You really think I'd actually say anything like that? If I decide "I don't love having to buy Nikes, but I guess it's worth it" that for some reason means I shouldn't go? I really don't understand what I've done here beyond asking a question and not liking what the answer was. I suppose I underestimate how obvious it's supposed to be, as everything else seems to be downstream of that
So what is so good about this Nike “club” that makes you want to attend? Is it just an amateur club with Nike paid coaches run from their corporate HQ? Do you pay to attend sessions? Surely if you are paying for the sessions or indeed if they are free one of the reasons is to promote the brand? And if that is the case surely it is up to them to convince you to wear Nike gear?

Seem like you've gotten your answer. You didn't hear it from me, but there may be an undisclosed perk to get nike gear when you join their club.

"If things don't go to my liking here, I will rush to the LRC message board to whine"
I'm not demanding that I be allowed to wear whatever shoes I want there, all I've said is that it is a consideration for what I choose to do. Why is that so bad?
Genuinely why is "I'd like to join, but havign to buy new shoes is annoying" such a bad position to hold? I've said nothing bad about the group beyond that. I really don't understand why I'm getting so much hate and so many assumptions made about me because of wishing I could do something that I can't. Maybe I should just worry less about internet strangers

Show up with the new parker valby spikes. Like the group know that these are faster than anything nike produces and what you will be wearing.
Legitimately, how is what I've done any different than saying that I like that some shoe is fast, but wish it was more durable or something? If I sound more whiny than that, it wasn't my intention.
No, it wouldn't. I may even do so. I'm just shocked how angry everyone is about me thinking having to buy new shoes is something that could influence my decision. Maybe I'll do it, maybe I won't, but it does change the decision calculation and people are really mad about that for some reason.
