They do this with everything we do. Try to price us out of our own cultural nuances

I use to be a Jordan collector. I won’t even touch a pair now.

When I see these fukking techy white boys and lame ass espn journalists acting like they’re “sneaker heads” I just cringe at what this shyt has turned into.

Don’t even get me started on Instagram sneaker culture :scust:

These are trash and blatant knockoffs.

why would I buy some BS because the person is black?
I done seen a lot of ppl wear ugly ass J’s just cause they Jordan’s. shyt actually fukk Jordan’s. How about the trend of them big feet Balenciagas and them white dad shoes Filas ppl tried to make cool a few years ago cause Ian Connor or whoever wore them ironically.

It's just hypebeasts period. Unrelated but kind of and I might make a thread about it but I went to Best Buy before work yesterday and saw a dude walk out of there with I know about 10 xboxes and PS5s. There was a lady that went there to buy one for her kid for Christmas and I was there for something completely different, well this dude bought all the ones they had left and this lady was damn near in tears because he wouldn't let her have ONE of those 10 or more to buy he told her he'd sell it for 900.00. She looked like she was considering it but I was in line and I told her I went to high school with the LP manager at another Best Buy but it's a few miles away so I called him for her and they were sold out too which I assume was the same guy because he said a dude just left there and bought them all and described him the same as the person that just left. He said they will get more Friday and he'll put her one of each aside so she can choose what she wanted. So I got her info I even told her I'll meet her there since it's close to my house to make sure they're there so she won't waste a trip. Anyway I said that to say sneaker hoarders and console hoarder and even with clothes, the shyt is getting out of hand. Even at Best Buy I didn't think they'd sell more than one per person but I guess if you got the money then whatever.

Damn.
So it isn’t just retro video games and the used cd and vinyl market that’s getting hit hard by resellers.

:lupe:

Cacs ruin everything. They ruined weed too, but unless you smoke an ounce a week you won't be able to tell.

:francis:No lie bro...weed in clubs have zero soul (taste, smell).

:jawalrus:I gotta go DEEEEP EAST OAKLAND to get the fire but its worth it.

…and cacs in high school were absolutely buying jordans in the early 90s along with starter jackets/hats (they made for easy targets too)…and a lot of resellers today are black as well…silly thing to spin into black/white debate

Be your on person. Do your own thing.
And there is no problem.
That's what our "culture" was built on.

So whether it was a bunch of kids in school rocking the same Jordans or some white kid hoarding all the Jordans to resell.

That isn't the culture.
