Notice how everyone against sneakerheads are the same people who wear the exact same pair of converse or vans they had in 6th grade, lol.
I buy a new pair of shoes every year or so. So you're completely wrong. I think buying over $80 for a pair of shoes, in my opinion, isn't worth it at that point. Huge scam by basketball players. Probably cost what like, 50 bucks to make, then charge $300 for them? I mean it works though, they get suckers to buy these things every day so good on them, but you just look foolish walking around trying not to "dirty up" your shoes.
Besides, what's so funny about having the same pair of shoes you've had for a while?
