Agreed. I also believe in WEARING SHOES YOU PAID FOR. I hate it when I come in to a store and "they dont have my size", and as soon as their boys come in, one pair magically appears from thin air. I'm not hating on the OG's or the guys with the Hookups (cuz I want a hook up tooOriginally Posted by ZombieJesus12

I remember when the LeBron 7's came out, and I wanted to try them on.
Convo went something like this:
me: "can i try a pair of the lebron 7's in 11.5 or 12"
staff: "i don't know if i have any... people put them on hold"
me: "... well i can't even try it on so i can see if i like them?"
staff: "no, because if they come in and they're creased or something, they might not want them"
me...
he let me try on a pair anyways... didnt like them.
Bend your brims! Wears your shoes! Stop thinking that having things in NEW condition is impressive - kids acting like the stickers on a $30 new era show you're a real baller, or that having a crease on a SHOE ruins it. You know what two letters ruined the shoe game? D and S
I'll put it like this. I know some of you cats on here wear your hats with stickers or have a dozen pairs of shoes in your closet, so I'll explain: The whole "keeping your stickers on the hat" thing started off in really poor neighborhoods. Peeps with no money who still wanted the freshest gear would either have to boost (steal) or buy a knockoff. To prove that they HAD money, the people with the legit merchandise started keeping the tags on to prove it was real. Seriously. That's how this crap started.
It's sort of sad, when you think about it. People who are so insecure about their social situation they walk around advertising that they're not poor. Anyway, I know that isn't the case for EVERYONE, but the major point remains
You only get one go in life. Why keep your shoes in a box?
I will always wear mi kicks. They are still just shoes...
