When you refer to buying shoes you like as "poor life choices"

I'd say yes, the video IS saying otherwise.

Funny thing is, even though the kicks are expensive, they typically increase in value over time, if they're well cared for. Even worn shoes. A near deadstock sneaker 3 years later can still fetch a price much higher than the retail tag did on its release. So such life choices can even be looked at as an investment.
