and there's more difference, those aren't even air randy type fakes, they'll prolly fall apart and all kinds of stuff.

HERE IS A LINK TO A PROGRAM I WATCHED BY CNBC. I BELIEVE THEY ALSO HAVE A STORY YOU CAN READ ON THE PROGRAM IF YOU WOULD RATHER SKIP THE WATCH.

FOOTWEAR IS ALSO THE NUMBER #1 COUNTERFEITED GOOD IN THE WORLD:

I JUST CAN'T SUPPORT MY MONEY BEING USED TO KILL, EXPLOIT OR ENSLAVE PEOPLE. NIKE THEMSELVES ARE ALREADY BODERLINE WITH THEIR FACTORY PRACTICES.
I dont get why ppl pretend to care about the factory conditions. No American would work in one of those factories, yet they will buy anything that is produced there, as long as its cheap. The world is all about exploiting the less fortunate. Ppl pretending like they care, but when the shoe prices go up, everyone starts crying about prices hikes, even though the price hikes prolly was due to the increase in labor cost all across China.Originally Posted by memphissfinest

Anyway, I am no saint, I just dont pretend i am doing something holy just because i am buying real shoes at $1000 over retail.....god knows that $1000 prolly couldve put food on the table for some Chinese worker for 3 months, where as some reseller would just use the $1000 to buy more shoes to make more money.
I wasnt trying to single anyone out. I just think in a way buying real shoes is just legalized crime vs buying fakes is "maybe" supporting crime. Maybe CNN is right, maybe not.Originally Posted by memphissfinest

ARE WE TALKING ABOUT FAKES SUPPORTING ORGANIZED CRIME OR FACTORY WORKING CONDITIONS? I THINK YOU ARE CONFUSED. THE FORMER IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
I ADMIT THAT I AM NOT A SAINT. WILL FACTORY CONDITIONS CAUSE ME NOT BUY A PAIR OF SHOES? PROBABLY NOT. BUT MY MONEY SUPPORTING CRIME WILL STOP ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS FROM MAKING A PURCHASE.

You kats are hilarious. I own the solar red Yeezy 2s, that i got got retail, and to me, it's just another shoe in my stash, I actually like my HOH Pippen Draft Days better, I can't believe, just based off our culture of celebrity worship that kats would break their neck and spend so much money on shoe that is "ok" to me, I'm glad I got them, but I wasn't sweating it like that, and if I didn't get them for retail, no dice. But I will not down another person who really liked the design of the shoe or whatever for buying replica/fake if that's what affordable...
Who cares? I've worn mine a number of times and no one has ever stopped me and worshipped my shoes except for the creepy employee in Footlocker HOH...it's just a shoe, that in no way shape or form is worth more than the box price...it's not a piece of art, it's not historic, it's a shoe...get over yourselves weirdos and worry about your self instead of trying to admonish others....
SINCE YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM MUCH, SELL THEM FOR RETAIL TO ANOTHER CAT WHO WOULD APPRECIATE THEM A LOT MORE AND MISSED OUT.Originally Posted by gtg305h

His argument makes no sense when you look at the "haves and have nots" in our society...I can easily debunk that and make a counterargument about supporting "big business" and where that money flows...and I can show you proof that Nike sells some of the same materials that they use to make your precious Yeezys to other manufacturing locations that produce these fakes that you hate so much....

Bro, no one here is passing judgement on anyone that DOESN'T want to spend whatever amount the market has set for Yeezys. The fact is that this thread has really started to spiral downward, just as the original one. You have posters coming in and doing the exact opposite of what you just said: "y'all dumb for spending $1k+...y'all hype beasts for spending $1k+...y'all buying into the hype...yada yada yada". If I choose to buy a shoe for whatever price, then it's worth it to me. If I had a viable alternative, trust me, I'd pay the box price. Unfortunately, that's not an option. Sucks when you have to pay an arm and a leg to get what you want, but the hunt is still fun. I can admit that still trying to find something that I want that happens to be 'limited' is STILL FUN. That's almost a forbidden sentiment around here. None of us want to play the unnecessary games with resellers or people who really aren't into the sneaker culture, but I love kicks for ME and ME ONLY. And if once in a blue moon I have to bite the bullet to get what I want, I'll make the decision accordingly. It's a no win situation: buy what you want? Hypebeast. Strike out and pay resell? Hypebeast. As long as something is popular, and you buy that item, people ASSUME you're following the herd, sneering at 'lesser' people. Folks need to chill with the assumptions and name calling.
