all of the above have gone off a lil quality since a few years ago tbph since social media expanded so has the shoe game hype. hype = price up quality down
Gonna be super honest and say this with out bias.
This video is stupid as fuck.
I say that not as a sneaker collector but as a person who works to have money to spend on the things I like.
I get my check every 2 weeks
I put away money to save
I put aside what is needed for bills/food/necessities
I have some left to play around with
This is true of most working people w/ decent income.
What anyone does with that extra money is their business and theirs alone.
When that extra dough isn't budgeted toward gift giving/spoiling my lil man - I buy jeans or shirts or a new video game, or some anime collectible stupid shit, but most of my fuck around money is spent on kicks..
Basically - this video is either made by someone that doesn't understand or see the value in sneakers. Which is fine. But to condescend and talk down on people that spend money on something they like is stupid.
Granted I can't endorse camping and I think it's disgusting for people to riot/hurt eachother over kicks, but, copy paste that sentence and replace "kicks" with anything and it still holds true.

Point taken. I just see this as his attempt to de-glorify the shoe, so that people see it for what it really is. In other words, display the brand name and exploit the craze around it as satirically as possible so that the consumer is forced to decide if they're buying the hype or the product.
But yes, people should be allowed to do whatever they want with their money, the video didn't say otherwise though... i just kind of thought it was funny is all lol.
