Dudes used to get robbed/shot for Jordans growing up, now sneaker culture is damn near dead

[Roid Jones]

Sneaker culture is not dead, it has just changed, Nike is no longer king of the hill

 

[Roid Jones]

New Balance
ASICS

Took their chain

True, they are out here heavy, I've only ever worn those brands for sporting activity but I can vouch for their comfort

It's crazy to think about all the people that got harmed over a $8 piece of rubber and leather, only for kicks to be sitting on the shelves for weeks/months at Foot Locker now.

Sneaker culture isn't dead, what's dead is vultures buying up all the shoes in order to resell them at double the price or more. And that is a good thing.

There are a lot of places where you still would.

You will still get robbed for Jordans in some places

You'll get robbed on a day they drop right outside the mall or the sneaker spot

You'll get robbed if you in a spot with no peoples with grimey cats

You'll get robbed if you're in the wrong part of town in the wrong country

I could never get on board with designer kicks. They all look like clown shoes and orthopedics

Sneaker market needs to get back to the old days when people were getting killed over shoes.
