NBA is a huge artist, he is in the top 10 probably in the top 5 in popularity in terms of rappers right now

None of his recent songs have hit s million on his YouTube, and only hood nikkas and thots play his music. He isn't Kodak or Roddy Rich big, he big to YOU though

He definitely isn't a top 10 rapper either

doesn't have to be NIke, if a random youtuber can get a sponser anybody can. there are all sorts of levels of companies out there for each of level of fame.

Those types of YouTubers are usually marketable or do shoe reviews, vlogs and go to shoe cons.

You're crazy if you think Nike would do business with NBA youngboy, promoting violence in his music, he's this generations Boosie

StockX is superior to Flight Club, imo. They let you bid on shoes, rather than selling you marked up shyt. I've purchased kicks off StockX for much lower prices than Flight Club was selling them for. The tradeoff is that you might wait a week or two more for your shoe because StockX verifies the shoe before shipping it out.:francis:

Fake shyt gets through StockX. If you don't get the shoe on the day of release, you're rolling the dice especially if it's a high demand shoe.

Y’all laughing...there’s 9-5 clowns dropping similar amount(over the span of 2-3 years) on highly inflated resell prices

My brother-in-law one of those, has a room in his house devoted to $100+ grand in sneakers (at least that's what it was 15 years ago, no idea what he's been doing with it recently). Got absolutely zero respect for him.

:laff: nikkas in here talking about the reactions are fake and they reimburse them. Jimmy Fallon makes 10m a year telling shytty late night jokes and was pissed he paid a stack for some Js in a beat up ass box. Expeditious TI asking about his preferred member discount like he in line at the price mart. IDC how rich you are. Shoes are shoes and not worth paying full retail

Sound sound sound
Designer>> over priced street wear atleast with designer you actually paying for quality instead of hype

This is not 100% true

What makes these Dior sneakers 1000$ ?? When u can buy vans and converse for about 60$ in same silhouette and same quality

they are able to charge ridiculous prices due to their name alone..very little has to do with the quality , unless u talking about like premium leather goods and shyt like that

Most designer shoes are ugly though. But no sneaker is worth their over retail resell price
Yeah and some of them do take inspiration from street wear. Like that saint Laurent is just a Jordan 1 knock off and some new LV men’s shoe looks like a knock off 4. I like odd looking shoes tho lotta people buying Jordan’s when those been out since the 80s. I rather basic nikkas clown me for my Rick Owen runners, than a basic bytch jocking me just because I have some yeezy 350s and a supreme bogo tee. I love shytting on hypebeasts wearing my Margielas or ace sneakers on em. I hate campers and people who use bots like shoes should never be that serious, but to these broke nerds it’s their life literally. Main reason why I get disgusted with street wear especially because you really have to dig deep to find black people talk about basically our Culture! I see nothing but cacs and Asians on vlogs for this shyt that infuriated me
