We know your a premium 50 hater but we all know g unit sneakers were sold at major retailers.

Of course they were at first but again, the guy you are hi fiving yourselves about said plain as day most of them were sold at TJ Maxx, a GHETTO bottom of the barrell place that poor people shop to get discounts on fukked up clothes/shoes that never sold at those same major retailers.
And I am a proud Curly hater but sadly I am not making up what TJ Maxx is or the tweet from the guy who said they were mainly sold there.
Look at this clown..........He really believes the bullshyt he types
Money is money to a corporation, looking down on poor people is what's hot now?
Facts are facts, up until this point Kanye hasn't had near the impact on the fashion industry he or his stans claim.
But i'm talking to a nikka who bought Game's Hurricane sneakers.....

Ahh I see the Curly Defense Squad forming like Voltron. Nothing I said was untrue. If it was, you would be able to prove me wrong wouldn't you? The tweet I am referencing, YOU posted lol.
The irony in a guy who stans for a rapper who spent half his career going on the radio clowning people for not having as much money as him getting upset that I am pointing out TJ Maxx is where poor people shop . They also buy clothes big retailers can't sell at a big discount then resell them at cheaper prices.
I didn't buy Game's corny ass shoes just like I wouldn't buy any rappers corny ass shoes. But I am talking to the herb who is wearing G-Unit reebok sneakers in 2015
The Adidas Yeezy's aren't a mass consumer product. I don't even know where you can buy them joints. Not that I care for them. You could buy those 50 Cent kicks at TJ Maxx like the article says. They'll not sell as many as 100's of other sneakers. Maybe thousands. I think Adidas knew that when they priced them at £300 and had limited distribution. IMO this was a cultural move for Adidas. Looking to put a prestige line in its arsenal. That has long-term value for their brand. The money was great for Reebok with the G-Unit's but their image has taken a long-term hit in sneaker culture. Depending on the business model - one isn't necessarily better than the other.
The fact they don't sell the G-Unit kicks anymore speaks volumes to be honest. The Yeezy line across brands has already been out for longer. Although i'm sure 50 has made mroe money from that small hot period than Kanye has made in all these years from shoe sales.

Clearly.
But as long as the Curly Defense Squad can turn this into a W against a rapper that he had "rap beef" and a first week sales battle with, that is all that matters breh.

nikka I was in line at 7am buying retro Jordan's a decade ago
and you think Gucci and Louis Vuitton just started making sneakers.
fukk are you talking about? They were not in abundance like they are now clown.. and you didnt camp out a decade ago. Thats straight lies. The retro craze was not popping like that back then. Dont lie to kick it nygga.

I'm not hi fiving anybody or taking some tweet as gospel. But go head and do what you do
THAT LOUIS DID is correct..
LV only started updating their sneaker look post other designers doing bigger things. Wasnt until Marc Jacobs got their that the line started to update.
Not denying Kanye's marketing ability becuz basically my whole argument is 50 wasnt competing in the market today like Kanye is. However, Kanye's influence was from other designer sneakers before him. Dont give him the credit as the innovator, he just put his spin on some sneakers. His celebrity has propelled them. That I agree with.
But to compare 50 success to Kanyes is not even in the same league like nyggas in here trying to make it.
anybody checking for a retro G Unit sneaker?
You know you bought those blue G-Unit sneakers after banks said it in Stunt 101 stan.
Yea, I'm a Stan but not dumb enough to buy ugly sneakers
