Who knows what his contract says, that said he might have been told by nike business people that they have research that he can increase the price of his shoe and sell a lot of shoes without taking a drastic sales hit and he said sure lets do that.
If so there is nothing wrong with that at all

the "white man" are influencing the youth in minority neighborhoods to become entertainers such as singers, athletes, rappers to keep them from wanting to become things are more of a threat to them Such as Lawyers, realtor, doctors, etc. So they give these entertainers fame and fortunes and expose their lavish lifestyles to show the youth that this the life to strive for.Break that down for me breh

Young blacks made the sneaker game pop..... starting in the 80s....... and it was the poor youth that did it......
Its no coincidence that the biggest endorsement deals are 3 black basketball players....... cause they know that we set trends, which drives the sneaker game....
The middle and upper class

black people being trendsetters, is nice, and chuck taylors were the first name shoe to get it popping and introduce the concept of shoe endorsers, that was before the 80s and the Jordan NIke pairing.
Jordans, nike prestigue brands, other prestigue brand shoes are bought by more than black people though, that seems to be something you aren't getting.
Low income, middle, and upper class people buy Nikes, Nike has a great deal more products than just name shoes. Black americans, some black americans, seem to have a love affair with shoes, that is cool, they aren't, via sales, what has made Nike a power house globally. Same with Addidas and Under Armor.

No one is going to respect someone that first claims he's in touch with the common man only to turn capitalist.
Not even about hating

Why ask dumb ass questions.
the shoe game is all about status. Just because he couldn't afford Jordan's don't mean he wouldn't buy them when they got money. It is what it is. At least he was being honest.

The common man still likes to flex if they could. Furthermore the moment he became a millionaire, he was out of touch with the "common man".
We live in a consumer driven society. That's life. Anybody that has a problem with what he said is broke, or low to mid income.

Being a consumer driven Society has what to do with furthering your point?
Just say you don't have a problem with someone changing his principles rather than posting. The person who sticks to his principles will always be more respected while the one who changes his will always look funny in the light to people that aren't fukkbois
