If I walk into a shop and see a shirt I like, I'm paying whatever the tag says because that's how retail works. If the shop is popular and the shirt is limited and sells out, I won't pay the high resale price because I'm not into T-shirts like that. This isn't T-shirtTalk.com. If you head over there, your analogy might sound like an every day deal to them. I'm over stressing out over sneakers. I enjoy them, but I'll leave that stress to the rest of yall. So obviously with that mindset, I financially prepared for this release at the retail and resale level. When it's a competition at both to obtain them, people are going to do outlandish things to get their pair if they want em enough. Some rob, some scam, and some of us are paying the price for peace of mind.Originally Posted by AIR JSARG
If you had no second thoughts aboout spending that much then more power to you, I won't tell you your wrongAnd I'm the same as everybody else, I buy what I like and nobody could tell me that i can't, however you dont go into a shop and pay 1400$ for a shirt that costs $40 just becuase you can afford it or becuase you like it, all im trying to point out is the worth for ALL shoes nowadays is outrages and its sort of concerning when people disregard it and say its ok, or like someone below this response says "U MAD" keep trolling on bro but you should mad at yourself you would pay $800+ over retail, for anything of that matter.Originally Posted by DJ Proto J
you obviously care too much what other's think of you.Originally Posted by AIR JSARG
Exactly! Since when is it alright to be able to "afford" to spend $1000+ on ONE pair of shoes and not have second thoughts, I understand if you really want them then buy them, but if you told anyone be them sneakerhead or not, i'd bet they'd make you feel foolish as all hell. I want them but i struck out, i won't be made a fool of by any means and thats regardless of what anyelse thinks about what you spend your own money on.
couldn't anybody make me feel foolish about what i spend my money on.
if it's worth it to me, that's all that matters.
and i certainly wouldn't be buying them cuz i care what others think, hardly anyone around here would even know what they are, i'd strictly be buying them cuz i like them, that's it.

You high sodium having folks need to go harass the kids in the Jordan forum or something. Give it a rest, the sneakers have been out a month. It's old. And yall aren't even funny.
Thats all that needed to be seen, you might as well stop buying sneakers and find a different hobby. You clearly don't have a passion for this if you are ok with wearing fakes.Originally Posted by hozer

spending any money on a shoe, or anything, that you know is a knock off and wearing it is just playing yourself... even if nobody else ever notices it...
if the market value is above what you can afford or want to spend... TOUGH $%#@!!!
don't complain, don't buy fake stuff, skip it and move onto the next one... that simple.
rocking fakes is playing yourself, and deep down inside you know it's the truth.
that's why i can't rock fakes... even if i can pull the wool over everyone else's eyes... I know it's some BS... and that's all that actually matters...
come up with any and every argument you want to, doesn't matter...
I have a collection of 60-70 shoes I love all purchased at retail. I support the game as much as I can, but I draw the line at %1000 markups. The only difference between my $62 pair and the $1500 pairs is one is 'real'... to me that is not worth an extra $1440.I honestly don't mind rocking fakesand have people ask me all the time, to which I have 0 issue saying they are fake... It's not about impressing others for me (or for most of us I'd gather). To me shoes are art and I would have gladly paid Nike $350 to even $500 for these kicks and the art within them, but nothing makes them worth a dime more than that besides hypebeasts looking to make a buck and I don't support that. Don't get me wrong, if there was $1500 of quality in this shoe I'd be considering it... but there isn't to me.
No complaints, seriously. They are shoes and my life goes on and I am truly jealous/happy for those who got theirs. Props if you can pull the trigger on $1500 nikes.
And just as a side note, my inbox is blowing up with requests on where to buy these so here is the info:
