I think the main thing which separates the Jacks from the Chucks, in terms of success, is that the Jacks never found a place in music. A pair of beat up chucks became so synonymous with grunge that these days they’re pretty much immortal, teenage angst distilled into footwear. Meanwhile the Jacks forever exist as the preppy cousin.

Great read as always my friend. 🫡
That’s an awesome observation! I wonder if it has always been this way, or there was a point in time when Chucks took over, e.g. 90s grunge?
Ooh yeah, that’d be cool to find out!
