The employee chick says "can I help you with a size?" and I just said, "No thanks, I'm just looking at how Nike messed the retro up" She had a puzzled look and said "Those aren't retros"
I just laughed and explained to her that these are the Charles Barkleys that came out at the beginning of the 93-94 season.
She goes, "No, those aren't Barkleys. They're just Air Max"
At that point, I put the shoe down, and walked out of the store laughing because I couldn't talk to this chick anymore.
There is no Charles Barkley on the box and on the shoe description,
So? Thats like saying that the Air Zoom Generation is not Lebron's first shoe when indeed it is. There are no Lebron logos, names ordescription on the shoe.

If I'm a air conditioning repairman, I'm expected to know how an AC unit works.
If I work in a shoe store I should be expected to know the shoes.
How would you like to walk into a Walgreens, hand the parmacist the prescription for an allergy pill, and get birth control instead?
I heard of All-Star XX3's but what the hell are Playoff XX3's?Originally Posted by dcortes23
When I went to champs today I asked if they had the blue-ribbon fusions and this guy had no clue what were fusions. I wore my playoff xx3's and he said that they were fakes!! I looked at dude crazy and the rest of the employees looked at him and started laughing at dude!! I was like WOW!!

right. you seem to forget all those jobs you mentioned pay a hell of a lot better than some minimum wage retail shoe store. don't ever expect someone in retail to know the product like they created it, they don't get paid enough for it. you wanna kick knowledge so much why don't you go work there. they're just there to get paid in a not so serious job. it isn't a profession or a career you can build out of. sneakers may be your life but it ain't theirs.
right. there is minimal training, most of the knowledge is on-the-job, what the more knowledgeable co-worker passed on to you.
she aint going home and studying up on sneakers, nor will they fly her to oregon for a training conference.

yeah, exactly..... maybe she should have went to Carnegie Melon and took this course:
98-094 Sneakerology 101
Led by: Chorng, Jesse D; Curtis, Elliott P
M 7:00PM - 8:50PM DH 1209
In this course we will explore the extensive impact that sneakers have on fashion, identity, and cultures throughout the world. There is no prerequisite ofpairs, so whether you are a true "Sneakerhead" or just someone who is interested in urban culture, this class promises to invigorate the sole.
