@ people not buying Shaqs sneaker because its too cheap when the whole point is to appeal to lower income people.

So many hours in the park
I didn't buy the sneakers. I couldn't, I was still in High School, so I would most defintely get clowned for them. But I got the knock-off Tim Boots & a few jackets.

Oh breh, I was in I think I was in 6th grade when I got those. And I used to rock knockoffs when I was a kid too. Back in the day, there used to be warehouses on 28th street in Brooklyn that had all that real looking fake shyt. My mom used to take us there to shop, and no one ever knew![]()
I always wondered throughout Middle school & ESPECIALLY High School how nikkas could afford Jordans, Air Force 1s, and other name-brand clothing & shyt. Because I.know these nikkas come from a middle-class home AT BEST, often came from a single-mother homes, lived in the local hood area, got free or reduced price lunch, & etc. like I did.
It wasn't till the summer RIGHT AFTER my senior year of High School I found out that most of the gear nikkas wore were fakes bought from the local Bazaars.
