The only regular classic sneakers that sit on shelves everywhere that people still wear are white on white Air Force 1 lows. And white girls are ruining them shyts by wearing them into the ground, filthy, dirty, creases and all.

The new basic bytch shoe of this era. Straight culture vulture shyt.

White Forces only meant to be worn a couple times max. White Forces are like the shoe version of a fresh white tee. Only meant to be worn once.
Everybody too much of a hypebeast now to wear cheap regular shoes you can buy at the mall. Even the whitest whiteboys who get their haircut at the Haircuttery only wanna wear Travis Scott Jordan 1’s that resell for 2 bands. The latest retro Jordan or Yeezy in the flavor of the month colorway is just normal now. nikkas wanna wear nothing but Balenci’s, Dior’s or Louie’s that cost $1300 retail. Vans got played out a couple years ago too. Nobody wear shelltoes or old school Pumas anymore either. Same with Chucks unless you from L.A.
This is the flex era where everybody come out the house trying to wear the shoe with the most resale or retail value.

Even cacs.

Even middle aged cacs are hypebeasts now.

I’d say cacs ruined it and made it this way by gentrifying the sneaker game. Even regular Dunks reselling for $300. Grown ass people wearing them ugly ass Crocs everyday for some reason though. I think it’s the effect of all the lockdowns. Ye was smart by creating his own version of the Crocs with them Foam Runners.

Laughing all the way to the bank.
