I can't even comment like I want to, or I'll get banned.
I remember when only cats from the hood wore foams, now this? Yeah, I'm good on foams from now on.
It puts it in perspective who you're competing with for sneakers across the country.
I wonder if these kids even know anything about Jordan and the kicks they're wearing, much less Lebron other than how much their kicks go far.
Parents giving their kids money and waking up early, when I couldn't get OG Jordan VI's because they were above the max for sneakers I could spend. This generation today of kids are mad soft

Cat's didn't even get to watch Jordan play on the Wizards, let alone the Bulls...and yet they want to wear his sneakers... 
..That's why I'm done with sneakers, been done actually...have no type of passion for it anymore...I'll keep what I got and that's that.

Sold all of my sneakers years ago, I saw this coming. Can count on one hand the amount of J's I own.
I'm even selling the '88 3's, these kids want "Nike Air" because it's hype, not because of what it used to mean.

reminds me when I was in high school, but the 'sneaker game' was less crazy. as much as I want to hate on that kid, it'll just make me hate myself. oh well.

Video is pretty accurate. That's why the op in all of those "I got scammed" threads end up being by some high school kid with his parents paypal account.

LOL seriously flawed logic man. Most here are 90s kids and Jordan was gone for about 2 seasons out of the 90s and even then at that young age you only got a sample of his greatness and it can still be appreciated today through youtube. I didn't get really see Jordan till I was about 11-12 during the Wizards era and though he wasn't the same, I still enjoyed watching him. Jordans are part of urban culture and thus generations grow up on it, even if they haven't see him play.Cat's didn't even get to watch Jordan play on the Wizards, let alone the Bulls...and yet they want to wear his sneakers...
..That's why I'm done with sneakers, been done actually...have no type of passion for it anymore...I'll keep what I got and that's that.
And you know what, there is nothing wrong with that. If they like the shoe, they like the shoe. Me and Colonel Sanders never fried chicken together, but I think KFC is pretty good.

How many people who wear Chucks even know Chuck Taylor was an actual basketball player?
I'm 26 and didn't watch Dr. J play so I can't wear a pair of Pro Leathers?

I wasn't trying to point out any logic though . All I'm saying is the the cats that are messing it up for everyone else never watched Jordan play....
