Ok Now Everyone Should Be Able To Shut Up About The Situation...Which Was Never That Deep In The 1st Place...He's Not The Only One...It's Millions OfDudes In America Who Have Not The Slightest Idea What The Difference Between A Authentic Jordan & A Fake One Is.

I am not a celebrity, and I am still trying to figure out what REAL sneaker culture is myself! Is it having a whole bunch of sneakers that only a select fewvia the internet feel is hott? Or is this so called "culture" truly subjective in nature, with even some thinking that only collecting authentic Nikeshoes, will make you a part of the in crowd? I'll tell you what, I don't think that people like Big Boi really cares about your belief. In fact, I amquite sure that when he checks his bank statements, he'll just flat out guffaw at the sneaker enthusiast who spent his last few dollars on what the"culture" thinks is being "real".
 
i highly dough he bought those 10 years agooooo
like come onnnnnnn....they are fake

Agreed.^ ..echo all those statements.

Have had this discussion many times about hip-hop. To some heads, it's just music. To others, it's " a culture". Sneakers ..to some people? ..ARE JUST SHOES ..hurts to see in print, I know guys.

..to others, it's a culture. Subjective, good word. Relative would be another. Unfortunatelyperception seems to run reality, more often than reality itself does. If that makes any sense, & of course, IMO. It's the chicken & the egg, god vsbig-bang, you could argue until you're blue in the face.


At the end of the day, I don't really feel like I have a horse in this race. It's no skin off my banana. My opinion has no effect on anyone doing them.So it's a push. Blah.

He aint the first or the last,, Thats why I only purchase from authorized retailers, ive never been got,, and I plan to keep it that way.........
 
Big Boi lying about buying them fakes 10 yrs ago...smh and the fact he bought em for $500 a piece yeah right...he was stunting trying to save face!

Of course u gotta say **#$ the shoes and look at the car, duh!

Later that day Boi Boy goes home and throws away over a 100 fakes in 400 sneaker collection...

10 Yrs ago sound about right when all them fake jays was popping up like when fab used to kill em all the time and when they was on the Net for like $175 $200bucks but over time cats caught on and now you can get em for what like $50 at the gas station and big boi got that paper man and credibility is good with mecause like he shoed in the vid he had on some legit v's and we all seen him in some heat too.
 
I wouldn't say 10 yrs. ago, more like 8 yrs ago...it was this kid named Sneakerboy aka Sneakerkid from NY his bro. Played ball overseas and shipped him abunch of fakes on the regular. This guy used to make a killing at the Universal Building. Every artist who thought they was fly was shopping with him on theregular. You had some real sneakerheads that we're cautious of the sneakers but this guy would sell all of his fakes upon arrival. So I wouldn't doubtat all that Big Boi had those sitting around since that era.
