How do people still buy Jordans these days?

[scotty pimpin]

When the shoes are at their worst point in terms of quality, and value? Especially since they're going to raise prices - but the quality will still be as bad as ever. How do people rip themselves off like that? And will it continue??

This is not about Jordan shoes, this is about the problem involving spending money on inferior products. I see some of these shoes nowadays and I'm disgusted in the prices, even more when you realize the quality is

. I wish dudes would wake up.

I still buy them and plan to get the Concord's at the end of the year. For every one person that doesn't buy them, ten people will.

Everyone is raising prices from milk to Polo Ralph Lauren. Does that mean you'll stop buying those products?

I'm not ripping myself off because I don't wear them everyday. They aren't my only pair of sneakers. You rotate your selection to lengthen their life.

That just means you've bought enough pairs to mask the declining quality in 1 pair, like running away from the situation rather than confronting it. Having multiple pairs does not make the shoe any better constructed or priced, now you're just getting even LESS usage out of them so your ROI is even less still than someone going out and wearing their pair every day. The fact these shoes are produced with this intent is crazy, just unbelievable.
I could go on and on about this, but I'll stop.

Anyway...knowing this I still purchase a select few pairs. I gave into getting Cool Grey 11s, Playoff 13s, True Blue 3s, All Star Jordan 2011s, and I will get the Concord 11s and possibly the black cement 3s. That's only for nostalgia purposes, other than that I've basically stopped with Jordans and moved on to the equally priced yet better made Lebrons.

It's really a shame how jordans are changing for the worst though, never would've imagined anything like this 15 years ago :smh
