Idiot.

People spend 1000's of dollars on designer stuff daily. Women spend 1,000 up to 20,000 for handbags. If you really wants something and you have the money then buy it.. You only live once and you can't take the money to your grave..

Did you have a point about KIDS? If so, I dont see it. What you said typed is irrelevant.

There is nothing wrong with loving sneakers.
The point is some people take it way too far.
It's not all about finances and what people can afford,
It's more about how resellers are making fools out of the average supposed sneaker head.
Notice I said average. So if you can ball like no other, knock yourself out.
However, many people I know can't, yet they still try just to break necks.
This literally means they are trying to fill a void in their life using sneakers to garner attention and praise.
I could care less what the next man does with his money, but I just like to get people thinking.
So in conclusion, I could care less about people buying fakes or people spending thousands on grails.
What I do care about is this elitism attitude, where people think just because they are willing to drop
2 grand on a $400 dollar shoe makes them better than others and it gives them the right to talk down to others.
That is the real corny behavior in this situation.
That elite attitude is also how resellers are controlling your supposed sneaker game.
They create a false sense of need hyping up every release and these elite minded sneaker heads eat it up.
They cop at any price, even quintupling up for good measure and the hype beast jump right off the cliff right behind them.

I agree. He is roasting Kanye for not stepping up and delivering Yeezys as a dying kids last wish.
Yet, this mofo destroys a pair of Yeezys rather than stepping up and fulfilling that very wish.
Kanye is probably scratching his head wondering why a kids dying wish would be something of material value.
Another man down. I don't blame the kid, I blame the parents and the media.

All this talk is nonsense.
It's like anything in life. Fancy homes, cars, vacations, etc. Sneakers are no different.
You either have the money to spend or you don't. End of discussion. You can't afford it, move on. Sorry to be so blunt but it is what it is. Work hard, play hard. No need to justify anything.

the point I was making is that its not just kids spending $2500 on kicks. It's people of all ages. You guys act like yeezy kicks will be or should be less than a grand after release. History will always repeat itself

Not really, 4,000 on a pez dispenser not so much but if someone values it that much to spen 4k more power to you.

The problem is that people want to say you can't afford something because YOU find the price unreasonable. Practically EVERYBODY has $100, but it takes a special breed to spend that $100 on a $0.02 toothpick! So in that case "Oh, you're broke. You just don't have it like that", quickly becomes an acquaintance with "No, I'm just not that stupid." Therein lies the argument.

but it's no damn toothpick, horrible comparison. We're talking about kicks. Double, triple, quadruple resell prices is nothing new. Stop acting new to the game and if you are, learn something about kicks. It's the damn reason Flight Club, RIFLA, and many other consignment shops are in business.

Jake..... the answer is no. You need to learn maturity. The name of the game is what people are willing to pay. You and others are willing to pay that Yeezy Boost resale price; myself and others are not. I'M COOL WITH THAT. The problem is that you want to insult others when we disagree. Calm down, have a laugh, and stop being so young acting about it. And please don't lecture me about Flight Club..... they KNOW who I am; YOU just don't.

No tears. Why do you want 350's though? Don't you have enough shoes you're afraid to wear?

I'm never afraid to rock my kicks. In fact, I plan to wear the 750 boost in LA next week. That's why I double and triple up on most kicks I like.

Obviously you DO NOT spend a lot of money with Flight Club, because you wouldn't have asked that!
