"If your talking about dressing down in a casual sense then yes you're. Your first comment sounded like you were saying only poor or middle class people buy Jordans or Nikes which is a lie. Yes Jordans are informal wear but they aren't cheap gym shoes. The material maybe cheap but the price isn't as far as gym shoes go. Are there shoes that cost more? Sure."
What i said is true. I said Jordan is not exclusive to any class. As a matter of fact it is more popular among middle class to lower income and people from the hood. Therefore it is not a high end product. You see more people wear Jordan than people wear Prada or Gucci. The average Jordan cost 160 retail The average Prada cost 300 retail lol.
And as far as Jordan selling out on release. That's has nothing to do with the discussion of high end gym shoes. Don't let hype confuse with price and functionality. You're talking about hype. Which is different from what my point was.
The average nike basketball shoes cost $130 the average Jordan cost $160. Lebron cost $200+ Kobe is $180. If you're going to be talking about price for gym shoes then it's not much of a different. Lebron and Nike Elite actually cost more than GR Jordan. Jordan sell out because like you said to Taco. We're all follower right? LOL
I don't have to look at people to know new Jordan's are coming out lmao. That's what twitter and sneaker blogs are for right? I don't go around staring at people and what they wear but apparently you do. If you like people watching cool. On some level yes we are all followers for nothing is new under the son. Unless you create something out of thin air, you adopted someone else's idea or ways of doing things. Now how did I contradict myself?
I said you contradicted yourself because you said you don't listen to what people say or tell you to do but here you are telling Taco that we're all follower in one way or another. So basically you do listen to what people tell you to think or do LOL. Therefore you contradicted yourself.
Dude you can't define what's heat to someone else. With all do respect, you sound really dumb even saying something like. I could think a pair of Pro Wings are heat but you might not. You can't decide for me what's heat lmao. If I think a GR is heat than it is to ME. Some of you dudes are full ******ed. I don't listen to what people say or else I would have every shoe under the sun that comes out. I decide for me what I think is heat and I buy accordingly.
What the hell? Do you even know why they use the word heat for shoes ? Heat mean really rare OG, exclusive or PE. You use the wrong term dude lol. If a GR shoes is appealing to you that don't mean it's heat. You're probably new to the shoes hobby.
LOL and when i said you look at what people wear. It does not only mean you go see what they wear in person. It could be looking at picture from sneakerblog, internet, media etc like you said. So in the end you do listen to what other think is cool or not.
