Well said my man!I, on the other hand, will probably always pick up a pair of J's here and there. Because I do me and I'm not worried about the rest. And I'm not in the "hood" no more and I don't sell weed (no more ).
I was alive when Mike played. So just for the sake of nostalgia, I'll cop my pairs.
I never understood how kids got so caught up in Jordans otherwise. But for those of us that have a genuine love for the sneaker dating back to our childhood, I'm sure plenty of us will still pick up, even amidst the quality issues.
I'm not out here taking a "stand" for quality. I just like having pairs on my feet reminiscent of what was around when I was a shorty from time to time. Same reason I **** with the AT1, Air Max 1/90/95 etc.
If Cement III's drop, I'll probably scoop. Same with IV's. You can always make those look fresh. Even if they aren't "cool" anymore. Those are really the only models I **** with though. Very rarely the XI or XII.
That's also the same reason why I copped like 3 pairs of Adidas Attitudes in the Ewing Colorway for like $40 apiece a year or 2 back when a lotta y'all didn't give a **** about Adidas.
It's wild to me that you can love a sneaker so much one day and then say you'll never wear it again.
thats because i wear boosts now...so after i put those on puting jordans and those ugly frees feel terrible.That's understandable. They probably felt like **** when you bought them though. You wore them just fine then?
And that has nothing to do with what "hood dudes and weed dealers" wear.
Jordan's aren't absurdly uncomfortable to me. Then again, I almost lost a pinky toe rocking the last Chlorophyl AT1 retro
I rock Frees I get for sale + coupon code on Eastbay for comfort though. Not $200 Boosts.
thats because i wear boosts now...so after i put those on puting jordans and those ugly frees feel terrible.
frees not that bad but jordans feel like im puting shoe boxes on.
im also older now rocking basketball shoes is not a good look...so that has to do with hood dudes and weed dealers.
The yeezy brand is wack to be honest. You all can keep that
So black people going to ignore pharrel and Stan smith coming back in style with the young white crowd?
I feel like Pharrell kind of had a resurgence with "Get Lucky" and "Happy" that Adidas may have benefited from though.
From a mainstream perspective of course.
Happy was the biggest song of 2014.
Depends who you ask.

This goes back to what I said before. People want to believe something is as simple as "because Kanye".
When things on the scale we're discussing are rarely that simple.
I don't know how you get that Pharrell's celebrity did "nothing" for his line and Kanye did "everything" for a sneaker he never wore. We'll just agree to disagree I suppose.
In it, the company detailed that it had sold 15 million pairs of Superstars – some of which Pharrell had no hand in creating – and, “at $100 or so per pair, accounted for almost $1 in every $10 adidas took in,” outperforming and outselling all shoes in the adidas range.
OK. You focused on one line and missed what the rest of the entire article was about. But I'm supposed to "stop it"?
Mind you, I'm not suggesting Pharrell is a bigger mover. I just think you're minimizing ALL of the factors that Adidas is benefiting from.
Especially when it comes to the involvement of someone who had a massive career resurgence musically AND is on TV every week. Right on the cusp of the Adidas boom. White folks LOVE The Voice
Because as I said, things are rarely as simple as they seem.
