And if anyone buys these or likes them, you're a hypebeast, plain and simple. I don't care about what the responses will be: "you just hating cuz you can't afford em, it's too expensive, they're starting to grow on me, they're not that bad, I buy what I like," (which is the most overused statement and cop-out used from hypebeasts).
Give me a break, you all are hypebeasts that like this hideous shoe, or a person age 12-16. Either way, I don't see anyone in their right mind liking this shoe or thinking that this is a beautifully created, masterpiece shoe.
i saw mj play in the 90's, im not a hypebeast, therefore im not allowed to like a shoe? you people are pathetic.. they're shoes.. either you like em or you don't
the problem is that defense doesnt really jive when it comes to the air jordan phenomenon. in this "hobby", or whatever you want to call it, there is a clear line drawn in the sand. what sickickz posted is fairly accurate, and to say this is merely about someone liking them or not is oversimplifying it.
but jesus h christ....seriously.....+*@ is wrong with the people running this brand? it appears that i am most likely done for the year with the black/stealth xx3, because only a couple of the countdown packs were even worthwhile picking up and im too busy with a real life to fight off re-seller clowns to even attempt to buy those couple of packs. this brand cant go in the crapper fast enough for me....something needs to bring them back to reality.
This elitist attitude that some of you "og sneakerheads" have is getting out of hand. Are you telling me that by simply liking a pair of nike shoes that you have deemed "bad" makes you a hypebeast? So if I just disregarded the fact that there a pair of jordans and I like them simply because I think there a nice pair of shoes...that makes me a hypebeast??? What happened to buying shoes because you think they look attractive? Isn't that what started the sneakergame in the first place?
The true problem here is that some of you older sneakerheads are too caught up reminiscing and trying to relive your childhoods that you won't give anything else a chance (that's not an og model or c/w).
And how can you say that by using the "I buy what I like" argument you're "oversimplifying" the matter. The honest truth is...if that's not your sole motivation for buying shoes...YOU are a hypebeast.Is someone getting caught up in the og hype here...?
And this isn't even coming from someone who personally likes the shoe..I just think your approach is a little bit overboard.
drop the elitist attitude diatribe. the old guys arent the ones demanding the brand to release as many blasphemous abominations as they can in limitedproduction runs so that we can wear them to school with our big ego claiming to be the only one in town with a pair. theres definitely an attitude, but youresniffing down the wrong trail.
