I'm fully of aware of when the country started going down the tubes. it started with the institution of the federal reserve banking system. Anyway, I merely used your 2 Chainz  quote as a reference point for something larger. He is merely regurgitating a philosophy taught to him by the dominant culture. Like I said, just because you have the ability to do something doesn't mean you should. Americans have pseudo intelligence not real intelligence though. By this I mean they know alot of stuff told to them by repetition(brainwashing)but they lack the ability to critically think. Nike and others can get away with the ish that they do because the people are largely willfully ignorant. Similar to say 2 Chainz lol

Okay, point taken. But my quote from the artist is abou the quote and the the artist in reference to the purchases people make and the decisions that bring them their. I'm not saying I support all of what the artist stands for, I just identify with the quote. With that being said, I won't even entertain the comments about Americans because that's getting TOO far off base if IMO. I am curious to know about the GR pair and what it looks like and these "black diamond" pair as well with jmadidas saying it's all black but with "depth". This has me intrigued.

Oh I never was trying to insinuate that you support dude in any shape form or fashion bruh. It's possible to identify with a statement without supporting a person or thing. Hopefully the Black Diamond is better than the Blue Diamond

This is somewhat of a three prong issue (Miller test) in regard to the marketing toward a specific demographic. In some cases, I do find it to be obscene, pornographic to a certain extent, due to the fact that wearing expensive Nike shoes, will help average Joe's garner attention, the possibly helping them to get laid. This is what these guys think, because this isn't about ballin' in the best stuff possible, this is about look at me and what I'm wearing. Many here also compare their kicks to luxury automobiles, with comments comparable to the guy that's going through a midlife crisis, then wanting to pick up the young hot chick in his new Lambo.

Quite obviously they've never read any Iceberg Slim.

Nike sees them as a mark, then goes along with their comparisons to luxury goods and not high quality performance footwear that's durable, then worthy of the price. Comments pro low quality goes toward the supposed performance of the shoe, even though many here only parrot what they read from others, those of whom may not be qualified to determine if these are actually doing, what they are supposed to be doing, especially while playing.  

But hey, I ain't mad at Nike, they are trying to run their business. If these guys are stupid enough to hand over their money, then hey, that only makes people like myself want to figure out what it is that I can sell to them, for the highest dollar allowed.

I now understand re sellers of Nike product, and I am not mad at them either.

My brother, as I agree with the point you are making, I think I disagree with people being "stupid enough" statement. Bringing in the luxury automobiles and people's state of minds, how many people criticize doctors or lawyers for owning a Ferrari or a Porsche? Let's step down a little with Mercedes or BMW? I rarely hear people complain that " that doctor shouldn't have bought the S class when he could have bought an Acura or an Infiniti and the maintanence wouldn't have been so bad"! You don't hear that because it's "understood" that those people can afford that kind of purchase and up keep of the vehicle(regardless to the amount of debut to income they are currently experiencing). At the end of the day and what I'm saying is; is that the end should justify the means for YOU. Only you(the credit bureaus) know your situation ad what decisions are best for you. Like someone else said, sparking debate is good for the conscious in so about being aware of your decisions, but at some point you have to know when you crossing the line from suggestion to enforcement. I understand your stand point, but understand theirs, this isn't their parents allowance(for most) they are working with. In the famous words of 2 Chainz "It's mine, I spend it"! It that will always be the the bottom line my brother. LoL Good luck with you "adventure"

P.S. Use more honey to catch these bees. The twang from the Vinegar leaving a bad after taste. 8)

I agree people not going to listen to what you have to say if your throwing insults at them when you get a chance to speak. That's always whats gets me when cats regardless of how they feel feel as though their way is the only way. Cars are comparable from the fact that you don't need a luxury car to do your day to day just like you don't need Lebrons to play ball. If you can comfortably afford either one I just don't see the big deal but others want to get into big debates about things I think are simple but hey thats a part of mb too.

People who are inquiring about how they are going to handle this have all right to because I talked to one of my homies who works at hoh and he says they already have it in stock. He says that the gold medal color way they have had a bar code of 270 and he doesn't have any $200 versions. It also seams that they are limited as well meaning select foot lockers will be carrying it. Looks like Nike is gonna force our hand with the oly x and make us pay the $270. Sigh.

I'll be one of the few then that has to pass. I haven't seen anything must have yet.
I may find myself on Nike I.D. for these
 
Consumer like you dudes are just herd of sheep. Society pressure/ self esteem issue and good marketing got the best of yall

People like these are the reason companies are able to get away with charging 700 dollars for a cellphone and 300 for a pair of sneaker

i would advise going to try on the newest hyperdunk. that is the closest you will get to the fit of the X. i went .5 size up. i wear a 10 in jordans etc...i went to 10.5 same as the lebron 8 and 9 for me.

Same width-wise as the new hyperdunks, too? I'm hoping for a little more side to side room.. Thanks..
 
Just received a pair of the Away Floridians. Very impressed all around with the shoe.... Detailed pics tomorrow.
