disposable income? breh you have broke black dudes paying ridiculous amounts for kicks, now and back then, what makes you think there weren't both broke whites and asians doing the same? The point is, sneakers were not delivered to only black communities, so being into sneakers were not limited to a certain community

You can't set tones of what kicks are fly when black creatives in the sneaker industry are non-existent
Cuz...the average black dude ain't spending over 1k on kicks...period, maybe on some high end joints...but not on sneakers. And even though most shoe designers are white the shoe gets popular based in the streets opinion...the only Nike shoes that are hot today are the shoes the streets certified throughout the 90's and late 80's...suburban white kids didn't put nikkas on to Jordans...that was basically the other way around:stopitslime:.


And yeah sneakers weren't sent into black only neighborhoods...but sneaker companies have always known to market there products to the BLACK COMMUNITY...or u don't remember Spike Lee in all those Jordan commercials...oh, u thought Nike was targeting Orange County with that campaign run:stopitslime:

Not true. As someone WHOS been involved for most my life, there was a point in time where white folks were NOT interested. It just wasn't cool for them to spend that much cash on sneakers. I'm not saying there weren't ANY white sneaker heads. I'm saying that for the most part it wasn't something they were interested in.

:camby::camby::camby::camby::camby::camby::camby::camby::camby:

some of the shyt you read on here is hilarious...

I been buying sneakers since I was 9-10, we had sneaker groups, we would walk to athletes foot to cop new drops, it was a mix of black and whites, are we the exception or is your thinking flawed?

Only on the coli you will find people saying white people ruined the sneaker game and created hypebeasts

I will just leave this here for you...

White people did ruin the shoe game and are the original hypebeasts. I never said that there weren't any true white sneaker heads. That would be a lie. I said it wasn't a part of white culture like it is now, which it wasn't. The MAJORITY of white people were not wearing Jays.:manny:

When it got bigger in white culture, the true shoe game died. But that's with everything. Look at Hip Hop. It's pop music now. Meaning white people are comfortable with it and fukk with it.

Which means more cash, more attention and a bigger platform. But it also means lower quality and more fast food rap. The same way Kicks are bigger than ever but the quality is down and there's releases every month. It's just the truth.

There were white sneaker heads. It just wasn't a part of their culture and they weren't the majority inside the culture. Or even a respectable minority inside the culture. Now? They are. So it's gone to shyt.

What makes any culture unique is that it is represented by a few. When the majority gets involved it normally goes downhill. And that's the majority of any demographic not JUST white people. In this case it's white people.
