I realized not too long ago a nice fitted button-up with jeans and dress shoes will take a dump on anyone in their 20's rocking a snapback, $200+ shoes, knockoff shades, and baggy jeans...the same negro who doesn't even have a car of his own

KRIV FOX 26 Houston Live report on Air Jordan Shoes on 12/23/2011 which turns Ghetto fast - YouTube

These are the average consumers of Jordans/LeBrons, are you really trying to be associated with this?

Buying any clothes to "dump on nikkas" is kind of goofy, the type of clothes don't fix the underlying problem

I think its important to look clean + presentable + wear shyt that's appropriate for the setting... I wont even lie, I love a lot of Jordans and would cop if they were like $300 instead of $1000... but if you are doing anything just to impress other people you lost. In my opinion

Your opinion is very wise.

Being comfortable in your own skin> priceless.

I dont spend more then 60 on sneakers fukk that

 

[Fredrick Thuglas]

I do all three, but tell me what another hobby where as soon as the sales transaction is over the asset I brought appreciates in value ?

Jordans and Brons appreciate in value? Serious question.

Im not making a phantom argument. People just keep dodging questions that proves them wrong. I don't see how that makes anything in typing "phantom"

A lot of people's allure for cars/guns depends on the actual feel of things, so buying is a necessity. A person who is into art may attempt at create their own. Art is a visual thing though, as most pieces don't have authentic duplicates. Doesn't really compare to mass produced consumer items set for sale on open markets.

So you can't like a sneaker design? They all look, feel the same? I use the car/gun analogy since many people have "favorite" cars/guns/artwork that they've never personally held nor used. So I don't see the difference here other than preference.

Yea they do. If you don't wear them much

 

[havoc00]

How long before people are getting shot and robbed wearing these

Breh, Nike products are some of the most cheaply designed things around. Put a pair from today and yesteryear in your hand. It's horrible.

I can like a design from afar. Spending hella money on cheaply made things to see how it feels? You stupid.

Yes they do

Go to eBay and see what lebrons and J are selling for.

 

[kermit da hustla]

I don't think it's that low, probably in the $20 to $30 range.

Either way, this is nothing new, people flipped shyt when Jordan's broke the $100 barrier. Inflation is a motherfukker.

has nothing to do with inflation. and at these kicks costing $30 to make. try $8

And what athletic shoes do you buy that arent made cheaply?

My LeBron 7's feel great, i dont know how anyone can wear those and say they feel cheap.

I have one pair of Nike running shoes that I bought on sale as athletic shoes. All of them are made cheaply yeah.

Well, they may not feel cheap to you, but you paid wayyyyyyy over what they were worth and cost to make.

I just don't get why people happily do this. If its something thats just going to really deteriorate over time because of using it for its intended purpose, I don't see the point in putting much money in it.

 

[Sue Woo]

Well, I will in a few years (currently with a Masters, and am teaching psychology at 2 universities).

And yeah, this "hobby" of paying over $300 for a pair of shoes is most likely due to a strong sense of low self-esteem and feeling not good enough for the rest of society. It is a very desperate attempt at compensation for one's inadequacies.

Your opinion holds more weight but lets keep it real. To label every single person out there who buys higher end items as insecure is ridiculous. Psychology and sociology is very abstract.

Some folks might actually buy more expensive items because they might actually like the design and have the income for it

 

[DrunkenNovice]

People always bring up production costs when talking about Nike.

What clothing does anybody own that they arent paying close to 10x more than production costs for.
