I think it would be social convention.
Try throwing a pair of Nike wear to someone not exposed to all the social conditioning provided by today's mass media. I doubt he will give a hoot to it or derive the huge wealth of extra qualities as do someone in modern society.
I would rather say that its not just marketing, nor is it separate from the marketing. (ok, getting a bit ZENnish here!
) Rather the wealth of extra qualities is a combination of social conditioning + the product itself.
