Tough to imagine what someone's life is like if they can give up a week or more of their life for a $800 come up

By the way $8 an hour for 8 hours 5 days a week will yield the same results as waiting in line if u factor in the time spent on line. DO THE MATH if u worked 16 hours a day at McDonalds instead of standing in line

The camping crowd isn't smart enough or is in denial about what productive hours are worth, even if it's a crap job. Also, if you have no job or are too lazy to go out and get one, camping out in a lawn chair all week is probably an enjoyable use of your time. For many of us it would be hell. If I'm gonna camp it isn't going to be on some urban or suburban concrete, that's for sure!

same here, ive agreed with everything youve said so far trapped.  to bad it can never be explained to some types: why should they learn to fish if there is always someone there to hand them one...back to the shoes though, im also glad they pulled them from online.  and to anyone who thinks these are better or more special then any other foam well then ive got some VERY limited air that just came out of my a** for sale, hit me up...
 
Just wait until the hype dies down in a few months.  Resell prices will have stabilized to around 700 by then I'm sure lol.

THIS RIGHT HERE.Resellers run the lines and they take shifts. I hope something happens so stores put a stop to this nonsense. If I were a manager of a store, I'd let these people camp and then on release day I wud start at the end of the line and teach those fools a lesson who thought they were first...and they wud be last.

Those are the pathetic people in this whole mess. $200 to buy a pair of shoes, but no job to be fired from for missing a week straight. Parasites, in more ways than one. Just have to step back and look at the greed and consumerism that takes precidence over being a responsible member of society and ask yourself which side you'd rather belong to. It's a pretty easy choice for me.

Man, I really respect your post. There are still some logical and smart people in the world. I agree with u 100%.
 
He drives the car to work every day but will trade it to get a pair of foams. Sounds like he's headed to the unemployment line very soon for some sneakers!
 
Can't believe people are so hyped for these shoes. IMO they're ugly as hell. 80% of the people coping wont even wear them, they just want to try to resell.
 
Some people are stuck between a rock and a hard place. It's not so easy for everyone to just get a job you know. It's not that they're bums, it's not that they don't want to work. The opportunities are just not there for them. This release is an opportunity for these people to make some money, so why wouldn't they take advantage of it? I would never judge a man without first walking a mile in his shoes.
 
I just called to see if he was serious and he is really serious..i asked why he was selling the car and he stated "I have three cars and i figured i could trade this one for the shoes and plus i am getting married later on this year so i want to wear my foams on that day" i wish i would of recorded the convo..he sounded like a pretty cool dude.

He also said that he would of got some space jams but he stated "they are three years old and i have the OG's and they are yellowed"

I've been unemployed before, actually for the better part of last year I was, with a bachelors and masters. So I know it can be tough. And I won't blame someone for trying to make a buck, but let's get real: if you spend a week on a sidewalk, that's another week you weren't looking for a job. Meanwhile, you dropped $200 on some sneakers to gouge some honest people with jobs, who would have just bought them at retail if they didn't have to battle these same guys to camp for 5-7 days. These campers who are unemployed trying to make a buck are only setting themselves back in the process. How many week long campouts are you going to do? When does it end? Get a real job. They're out there still, you just have to be persistent rather than sleeping on a sidewalk to make a week's keep while keeping products out of the hands of responsible, hard working people with disposable income to spend on these. I'll admit though, for some people it sounds a whole lot better to sleep on the sidewalk for a week than go put some tiring hours of real work in for that same pay.
