What’s wrong with black people buying expensive shoes ?

Nothing wrong with it

There's something wrong with it. That's not to say it shouldn't be done but it's a poor decision. The most I'm looking to pay for a pair of shoes now is $50-$60. I'll get them at the outlet. I have enough shoes I don't need anymore but you basically buy shoes to destroy them. The less money you invest in destructable goods the better.

At some point you just realize deep down nobody really cares what you wear. If you present yourself decently nobody cares if those shoes were $50 or $500. To the extent they care about the $500 ones it wears off pretty fast. Why spend extra on some approval that's going to fade fast?

There is nothing wrong with it necessarily but we put too much emphasis on brands. There are so many off brands (or brandless) of shoes that look nice but cost way less than "designers", Jordan/Nike, Adidas, etc. but people care so much about what others think that they feel they have to only buy from the examples I just named.

I'm not even joking when I say the shoe sellers on TEMU have some of the most creative, novel designs and colors that look stylish but people will try to clown if it's not some name brands.

There is nothing wrong with it. People buy expensive things all the time.
The problem is not the buying of shoes itself. It's the fact that we all know some brehs & brehettes that have spent $100s on shoes before and then asked us to front them some rent money

Buying sneakers that cost money in and if itself isn't a problem but an obsession with 'designer and logo' is a thing.

I'm kind of at that point in life where I think expensive accessories with no utility or not made of legitimately premium materials are not worth the purchase.
