I'm not a sneakerhead, my bro and cousin are
But there is no way you could solely blame one race for that hype because other races were always there too. Those exclusive kicks being available was not due to a group of black nike creatives stealing and reselling only to black customers
The long term value of sneakers is what created the hype. The ability to resale and make a ridiculous amount of profit is what changed the game. No longer was it a contest between friends and fans
But who has majority of the disposable income to drop 1500.00 on some used already worn sneakers...and who is goofy enough to spend it...that ain't black kids and there wasn't enough Asians involved to support this kind of market...I think the answer is obvious:francis:

It started when Twitter took off and people in their mid to late 20's made it a fad to buy not only themselves Jay's, their girl Jay's, and also their children


nikka, that shyt been around since the OG seven's and especially the eight's in black and teal came out.
