When did you realize the sneaker game passed you by?

[heart]

When this became the new wave and sold out instantly

Yeah they are ugly as hell. But the problem is now people are on the Yeezy wave to simply flip for a quick buck(sorta like Jordans a few years ago)..

These days you need raffle tickets with just a chance to purchase. I'm 30+ and still love sneakers but I'm too old for hypebeast shyt.

People say it was the concords, but it was really the cool grey 11s that came out the Christmas before that started this shyt.

cool greys were it!! I had a homie who was never in trouble ever who was scheming a lick to rob people in the parking lot when they dropped. After that I knew I was out the game had people going crazy.

And it got lame I knew girls and lames who never even watch ball or know shoes talking about cool greys all day and patten leather

Cool Grey set everything up for the Concords. But the Concords are definitely the ones that did it.

My mans said the re release of the Concords, Planking and the Yonkers video changed everything.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

I never was a collector nor do I get excited over releases. I cop shyt here and there and I actually wear my shyt.

You have grown men out here with 20+ pairs of sneakers and not even one pair if decent dress shoes... pathetic. Shyt like that is one of the many reason black men aren’t respected in society.

Nor should anyone respect someone who covets an item that's disposable and made out of $15 worth of material.

And they pay $250 for it. Automatic L. Now you have a closet full?

The shyt is backwards. So obviously not respectable.

 

[Lamar Givens]

Damn breh. You robbing the church people just to floss on nikkas.

Old church ladies giving you thier social security check in the collection plate just so you can blow it on custom made shoes.

I should try faking it as a pastor because the sky is the limit with that hustle

I’m not a pastor. Nice try though.

I know it sucks as a grown man you still live with ya momma.

You’re just a loser who follows celebrities that don’t even know you exist

Yeah I just saw the internet minister thing under your name and just ran with it


But at least that was an educated guess.


How you figure I follow celebrities?


And I haven't truly simped no chick in 10 years


Also I got a house/mortgage too which makes the $1000 shoe purchase look even more wack to me .


Apparently you have a shoe fetish too. You're like a hype beast but instead of sneakers you are obsessed with church shoes.


but hey, it's your money spend it however you want.

Oxfords aren’t church shoes breh.



It would benefit you to know the history of shoes and cobblers.

Also a well constructed shoe that is made with quality leather for $500-$1000 should last you anywhere from 20-30 years if maintained properly.

You get your investment instead of buying cheaply made shoes from slave camps that have to be replaced after 2-3 years of continual use.

[I Really Mean It]

When I started having mortgages and seeing how much better of an investment real estate was. Spending all that money on shoes seems dumb to me. The value nose dives the minute you wear them. I'll go into the store see some kicks I like then the price and put them back down. Not buying anything over $60 and no longer need multiple pairs now.

I think a lot of these shoes are overpriced, but you're also not going to find any $60 shoes with a quality build.

 

[AnotherRoute]

If you are of a certain age (30+) you remember time as a child, teen or young adult where sneakers were actually on the walls of sneaker shops waiting for you When sold out didn't really mean sold out because they got more the next week only without the line the initial anticipation the lines brought When Johnny "Idaho" Dinglesams was interested in other stuff like Jnco jenas and didn't bother with negroes and their silly sneaker habits

Nowadays I can have the money but the idea of lines, raffles and limited quantities has been too much to overcome. Shoe game isn't nearly what I want it to be...oh well

That’s my biggest issues, I don’t want to go through loops to get kicks and I am not spending and extra 500-600 dollars on a pair of kicks cause someone set up an online bot.


Also people don’t even look dope in the kicks.
