Melanoid Empowerment: My Tariq Flex Step Boots Are Here

[philmonroe]

If they had a Jordan or Nike symbol, nikkas would be on it.

Bullshyt and I'll bet you can't find one pair of popular Nike/Jordan's that look like that quality wise. Y'all nikkas stay being disingenuous.

I like em...

My point still stands. Nothing but excuses.


-"I'm not supporting this dude or buying his product just cause he's black.." fine you dont have to buy it.
-"What about customer service? Blah blah blah"
-" (insert white or non-black owned brand here) has the same thing for less or more"
-" he charging too mucb for that...is he tryna scam us on the low" in regards to a black man wanting to be compensated for the good or service he offers. Do you just want that shyt for free even though it costs money to produce and he's got to make some sort of return on his investment?

Why is it always black men (not black women in business...they are always seen with ten times more respect) that have to go through this crap when they are just trying to make a buck the honest way?

Basically acting like we dont deserve any respect or to be taken seriously and deserve to be taken advantage of and throwing out free product...what the fukk?

You could like them all you want the excuses part is silliness from you and anybody co signing you though. I don't know about all that other stuff you typing as far as blacks being the only people that go through that. Sounds like you making excuses for subpar products honestly. As far as these go they wack and @milobased put some way better looking boots from black people. The quality isn't even close and you nikkas caping for them weak ass boots. Maybe you not used to quality.

there's thousands of other black designers out there but these these guys never mention or talk about them. they just get in a tizzy talking about "you dont care about black folks" whenever someone says anything about tariq as if he has a monopoly on black owned/designed products. they just want to see hidden colors 36.

Exactly and let me get the website for that place because I'm definitely going to look at them cats when I cop some more dress stuff. Reminds me of the fubu thread when I said that shyt was weak nikkas talking about oh you don't like the message? What does the message have to do with the clothes looking stupid as shyt to me? People need better arguments because the ones they use oftentimes in these discussions are hurting Charlie

Exactly. But the OP is the loser though...

If the purchase of these shoes allow for the creation of Hidden Colors 8 then so be it. Meanwhile these Euro cacs use their profits to fun their gay orgies and nikkas think they winning for supporting...

Spoiler

Low key shoes look madd ugly though. Look like something sold at the grocery store on clearance...

Exactly.

Btw everything i discuss is from my own experiences operating my shop in manhattan.

Yeah...there are tons of non black businessmen fukking off with your money and you just let them because you dont even make a conscious decision about where your money is going towards and it happens all the time.

You will not believe how many boutiques and well known clothing brands there are that legitimately started as a place to launder drug money.

But let an honest black man set up an honest business...he is going to use that money to fund boko haram or drug trafficking or spend it on crack and rims...why do we not get the same benefit of the doubt as everybody else?


Whose ice is colder?

I've broke out in rashes from African soaps or African oils. Rather get some irish spring and cologne from Macy's it is what it is

More excuses please...

That's funny because there's no personal attacks against those people. Just their product.

Why don't other brands get such attacks on their product.

It costs alot to make shoes. I respect tariq for that. I would like to eventually make custom footwear but like I said it's really expensive plus you have to sourc3 materials, labor, designs, molds...etc..I think alot of people dont even realize this.

Eventually once the ball gets rolling he'll be able to produce more products people like and so on and so on. That's where it should go with any business...right?

You're the one copping ugly shoes as an excuse cuz he's black

That shyt dries out your skin, I use it on my face and run for the moisturizer. I can't deny the benefits acne wise.

Ive never had a problem with black soap. Might just be you.

There are plenty of black owned soap brands that make great stuff that doesn't dry out your skin or make you break out...

Again...this leads me to another qualm when it comes to black business. Let me get on my Dr. BOYCE WATKINS here...

You discuss the negative before any mention of the positives.

Now...any smart business person knows you dont advertise a competitors product in their place of business and you don't try to present the bad side of a product as supposed to the good to potential customers.

Basically...others hear the negative stuff about it and don't even bother trying to support it.

You bugging. For $60 they aren't a bad deal for boots.

Look at how much he had to take off just to move those...it's like do you want tariq to just give em for free? That's a great deal.

proper, clean boots by black designsers

tariq does not own the market on everything black made

I owe you a pos rep for this.

I said numerous times i actually like the aesthetics of the boot!

Never mind...It's not worth trying to talk sense into some of y'all.

You buy subpar products all the time but you dont even notice it cause they haven't fallen apart on you yet.

Uniqlo and H&M quality is absolutely terrible...same with te gap...but people buy their clothes because of the name and it's well known.

You probably own a subpar quality pair of kicks...but you do not know or care cause they look good.

I felt this way about vans...they look good...but they dont last...hence the reason they sell for so cheap.

When it comes to shoes...especially boots you have to take into consideration the construction, materials, attention to detail so I feel you there...but Tariq is not a Hiroki from Visvim that has that moneyed clientele to produced top tier handmade goods made from the finest materials.. People need to take that into consideration.
