i dont believe he bought them either.....so all them kicks in that store and you pick up nothing but jb and you work with jb..........he is basically advertising them 4s by "copping" 2 pair as well as trying to help get rid of them maroons sitting on shelves........some people just like shoes, but some people like whatever their favorite "celebrities/athletes" like....example anyone who buy a jordan because he wore them.

go to any sig athlete thread and you'll see folks who give a million reasons they dont like a shoe but buy every colorway because they owe their favorite/athlete or something.... its their money but its still ridiculous to me, but im an old head so it probably isnt for me to understand

Nobody bought these because they thought they looked good, They might have convinced themselves that they look good but that's it

It is just another marketing technique. Hair styles, clothes, shoes and just a lifestyle in general can be marketed, to an extent. I wouldn't be surprised if those specific 7 picked were because they are available now or if a retro is due soon/available in secondary markets (such as RiF). There are always a mix of those who will buy because of someone else or if you only follow what you like, but those who do already adopted the shoe culture and aforementioned are usually don't follow shoes too closely.

All I'm trying to say is, that some people still buy shoes because they still like the shoe... Not because it's what's hot in the streets. Hell, I bought maroons on release day, and I couldn't care less that they're still stirring on shelves. I bought them because I like them, and they have nostalgic value to me. If they weren't Jordans, the nostalgia would more than likely not be there for me.

If Jordans shoes were released in the same exact way they were/are, not many would look at them twice. But because he wore them, people connect to the shoe because of him.

i cop both pairs some are nostalgic like jordans and other athlete shoes which is a big part of my collection and then the small part of my collection i got because i like the colorways and just design in general...for example i got air maxes, flyknits, air forces and dunks because they just look good and not because someone wore them and i wanted them

not saying I'd buy anything Jordan brand puts out, if I don't like it, I don't like it. And I was never a Michael Jordan fan growing up, I was a fan of his shoes.


But I don't buy shoes based on what everyone else likes... That's what my original point was... DonC was buying shoes based on what he grew up around, what he liked growing up. He wasn't buying based on if it's sitting on the shelf or not. Y'all made it seem like he shouldn't be buying what he likes because another version will be releasing soon, or a pair is still sitting on a shelf somewhere.
basically this.

I guess i am a cynic because i believe someone who works with a brand will not buy what they get for free especially if what they are buying is conveniently the next big release from jb......now him buying maroons at that price while they are on shelves is reeking of jb hoping we buy these now that don c showing love to them...i could be wrong, but this is the same nike that has "sellouts" to make a shoe seem limited for the last couple of months

Shes like dat tomboy chick you grew up with and you're like "yooo wassup" wen u see her. And shes like "yooooo"

then one day yall are workin out at the gym and shes liftin some weights....not sweatin...but glistenin....and you see it.

And she sees you see it.

Then you drop her off at her apt and go inside like "yoo u got a towel" and shes like "u need a tarp for that big *** forhead" and youre like " i know u aint talkin" and yall both laugh...then the laugh crawls to a smile and yall just grab each other and start smashin right there on da couch gettin sweat all over the leather and shes reaching for **** that aint eem there.

Then the next time you see her youre like "hey"

and shes like "hey"
