Anyone here wear one? It seems like the entire world is wearing these.

had one this summer it broke after taking it off and putting it on a million times in mid-september
people in toronto are finally getting them now it seems while in new york people don't wear them anymore because the fashion statement was over there months and months ago toronto is way behind the times on this one

At my school, McMaster, people've been wearing these for months, only a few people. But since there isn't a high concentration of nike stores around here, and the footlockers weren't selling them (at first, maybe they are now?), it was usually a case of somebody ordering a dozen of them through the net, and giving them out to their friends.
Who knows, maybe that in itself is a marketing tactic to spread their popularity.

These things were selling on eBay for over $50 at one point. Fucking ridiculous because people are profiting off of something that costs $2 and is meant to be a symbol to show that you are aiding the fight against cancer, and I'm willing to bet that 95% of the people around here wearing them don't even know that. They just think it's "cool."

Who cares though? If that many people are buying it, and it's to help cure cancer, who cares if they know what it's for?
