Tdogg I definitely understand the point you're trying to make but still, not everyone wants the shoes for the intended purposes and that's totally fine. The culture that has been created in the last few years by fashion, marketing, social media etc has brought in a whole new world of collectors and whatnot.
At the end of the day, you or anybody else can say what someone wants to do with their money is right or wrong. You can definitely have an opinion on it, it just so happens in this case that the opinion is very close-minded and doesn't apply very well in this particular situation based on the amount of people that like Kobe's for strictly casual wear.
See I'm right in the middle. I get the BEST of BOTH worlds. I love the latest tech. I'm an absolute performance shoe junkie. It's a passion of mine to have and try all the new stuff that is put out each and every year. (And in some cases each and every month). The guy that wears the Free Runs to ball and the 4E New Balance shoes have no idea why I'm willing to spend over $150 on shoes all the time just to try out that tech. I'm sure a lot of people think I'm crazy for doing it, but it's a passion of MINE.
So if someone's passion to spend $300 on some WTK, then so be it. Maybe you can't find that it makes sense to you, I just hope you can understand why it makes sense to THEM. No beef here man, I just want everyone to see both sides of the spectrum.
Were all here for one reason and that's because we love shoes.
