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

 

You can't fault Don C, for people making purchases based off his taste. Blame the people who admire Don C or said spokeperson, and let them determine their taste. I mean, all Don C can do is explain what he likes, and why.

 

I'm most likely older than you (40) and based in the Chicago area. I was/am definitely a fan of Michael Jordan. But I bought his shoes mostly because my friends or my older cousins were rocking them.
I can definitely understand buying shoes your favorite player is wearing moreso than wearing skinny jeans when your a man or joggers as pants. But probably the old man in me coming out.

 

So damn true.

 

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.

 

Don c......its 2016

With a jersey? I thought you were a stylist g. Just because its louis and jordan doesnt mean dressing like an 01 dipset reject is getting it done today.

 

my point exactly....you bought them because jordan wore them.....if he didnt you wouldnt care that much, if at all....and thats cool if thats your thing.....the look of the shoe is my main thing...so i guess im one of the people you were referring to

 

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

 

thats cool, i can dig it

 

well said

 

exactly

 

shouldnt you be on a street corner somewhere.

 

lol this was great/ hilarious ... you watch way to much [email protected] famo

 

yeah you must be 40+ with an awefully lame comment like that because i dont share your opinion.....i got no issue with anyone's standpoint...its a shame you cant agree to disagree.....when u grow up you will understand that not everyone has to see things your way.
