Sneakers that cost $150 are a status symbol. If wearing expensive sneakers isn't about the logo, then what is it about?Originally Posted by p charm
let's be real, I can understand people wearing fake jordans under some circumstances but i still don't see the point in it. I just get a nicewhen i see people wearing them and move on. Wearing fake gucci louis higher end stuff is ridiculous because let's be honest wearing things like gucci is a status symbol it's not like they look aesthetically nicer then any other clothing it's all about the logo so wearing fake gucci your trying to fake people that your doin it big when your not. shrug
Doing it big? Like 10% of the population is doing it big, the rest of us are playing catch up.

Aside from Jordans (they have been getting their inspirations from replica designers for the past 4 years), NYC need to ban those Africans that sell those fake crap. Imitators are a disgrace.

i'd wear fakes for damn sure if i was still into jordans like that. i'm not gonna wear a $250+ 10 year old pair of shoes out to a party. i'd rather have a pair to wear that i dont care about. as far as collecting goes though, thats different

If I couldn't afford higher end Jordans, I'd buy Team Js that are on sale or some other shoes that are on sale.
The not being able to afford higher end stuff is a load of crap. If you can't afford the real thing, buy something else. I would.

part of the reason i love the whole shoe game is the hype of getting the shoes. like do whatever it takes to get the real thing right? i mean if you dont have money then im sorry, but if you really love the shoes then safe up for them. get a part time job, save your lunch money, or do something. thats what i did in H.S. when i didnt have a job, i starved during lunch and saved my lunch money to cop a pair.

when I was younger I use to wear a referee whistle around my neck, and when i had seen someone with fakes, I would whistle, point at them and give them the "Technical Foul" Even gave em the T with hand motion, like a ref would do. Was at least 4-5 years ago, and me and my boys still laugh about it till this day

Fakes are unacceptable (If you clearly understand and know that you're buying fakes). Just buy something else...
Although it doesn't seem to be as big of a deal as it was years ago, you'll still get flamed for wearing fugazi merchandise.
This shouldn't even be a debate...
Now fake vs. real boobs on the other hand, I could care less...

If you're a member of this site there is no reason to condone fakes. End of story. There only person I'd give a pass to is the person that baught fakes kicks because they were cheap and not because they were a cheap name brand. People who rock fakes and try to stunt like they have some super exclusive stuff really annoy me.
"I buy fakes because I can't afford the real ones." So then don't buy them. Spend your money on lower tiered sneakers if you want name brand kicks. Buying fake kicks and stunting makes you fake. What the next person wears/buys shouldn't matter to anyone, but if you're trying to front like you're doing it big, that's where you cross the line in my opinion.
My dream is to own a sneaker store, so fakes would eat away at my profit margin. I'm all over the place with this, but i think i made my point.

like everyone on here said, I don't care what the next man has on their feet, I just don't like people that front like they have on something legit when they know it's fake.

Let me ask a question
Does it bother you that a person is "fronting" with their knock offs, or that to the average person, the one with the knock offs looks just like you at a fraction of the price?
