"Our" people lining up for whatever sneaker release unappreciation thread

[Michael's Black Son]

I've seen a ton of threads on message board about dudes lining up for consoles and shoes, but I unknowingly ran into a long ass line and was like when I saw that shyt.


Had to go to the dentist and afterwards walked over to 34th Street (here in NY) near the Empire State Building where the long row of clothing stores begin. So I see a line of like 40-50 dudes sitting in chairs and sleeping bags and i see that these motherfukkas are lined up outside Foot Locker/House of Hoops for lord knows what and I had the and faces when I stumbled upon that shyt.

With that said, I had to ask myself why the fukk were these n!ggaz out there in the middle of the day camped out in front of a store with tons of people walking by looking at them like they were insane.

oh well, free post brehs

it isn't any different. I'm not lining up for shyt. not a phone, game system, or gym shoe. if its' not in the store when I got cash in hand, then they ain't tryin to make money. and with amazon killing the game, there's really no reason to line up regardless.

I don't care about gym shoes like that anyways. and I got a closet full of gym shoes in the box that I RARELY wear anyways.

How you know those lining up don't have the education they desire

Why would you concern yourself with how another man is spending his money

That is how I feel about it, I mean why stand inline for some shyt that in 2 months everyone is going to have anyway? how much of a loser are you?

 

[Larry Lobster]

Them jordans are so cool right

 

[jilla82]

I live within a few block radius of like 4 or 5 shoe stores...it seems every other week people are lined up outside of them.

I thought the shoe thing died down after SBs went on the decline...guess not.

its not about them speding money, its the fact that people wait inline in the cold just to say they waited inline in the cold. Like that shyt is going to make the product better, and the rest of them idiots are just sheep.

 

[beenz]

shyt, with mike's you can get them on eastbay if you hit them up at midnight on a release date. that still beats waiting in line in the cold. its 2013, we should be waaaaayyyyy past waiting in unecessary lines.

In general bruh, when you camp out for electronics, tennis shoes and anything material that's not a life necessity, that shows drive and passion....imagine using that energy in more productive arena's than just being a consumer....that goes for iphones....video game waits and everything

LOL @ being middle aged and still put sneakers over your kids and financial well being. We gotta learn how to grow the fukkup.
