More often than not I tend to take that L.
I distinctly remember brehs getting robbed for your shoes back then.
Or of you stepped on someone's shoes there was a real chance for fisticuffs.

Retros were still 160 in the 2000s. I got my first pair when I was in the 6th grade in 06.

This shyt was real where I am from. I am from Pittsburgh. Grew up in the burbs. Even in the burbs I knew of a breh who got jumped and his teeth knocked out over his 3's. Another bad spot to be caught flexing with your kicks was in the mall if you was dolo or with a small crew. Brehs from the hood used to visit the mall in the burbs in squads. Would corner you and ask the size of your kicks.
If you was smart you would give them up quick and leave the mall in your socks.Before Footlockers and other shoe stores got hip my cousin used to steal J's. He would go inside the shoe store when it was crowded and when the opportunity arose he would just grab one from the wall.
He would do it smooth and leave without no one knowing. He would later have his brother go in about a hour later to see if the sales reps had put the mate to the shoe on the rack in the missing spot. Usually they did. He would then tell his brother and my cousin would go back in and take the other one.
Now he has a full set of J's. If they were not the size that he or his brother could wear then he would sell them.
