Charlamagne to Stephon Marbury: Your Sneakers Are Not Fly

I thought it was rhetorical.

Go to a full length mirror and look in it

Your question is answered.

The difference is I don't care that you're a corny muthafucka. I don't care what you wear and I sure as hell am not going to try and try and change you with some dumb ass rationalization that isn't thought out like I'm doing it for the greater good.

I've posed several questions in this thread, and you and the dude conveniently avoided them for a reason. Because you know that bullshit you're spitting has little to do with Jordan. Buying some Balenciaga's is better? Can I buy Lebron's? Buying a BMW over a Kia. Buying a Samsung versus Insignia. Tide over Purex. It's called preference muthafucka. Bottom line, It's not your money the persons buying it with. Life is hard enough without worrying what other muthafuckas do. Live yours.

goodnight already sleep mofokr.
 
Again bro, where is the line for acceptable/unacceptable mark up for an item so that it's OK for you??? Is a G shock over the line??? What brand of TV??? What brand of liquor??? Everything that's for sale has a markup. And you want us to believe only lames buy shit with a high markup. Yeah ok. Ole wanna be self righteous as dude. Like you're Pennsylvania dutch only living off the land or some shit. GTFOH!!!

post a response where i said anything about a lame ?

i also told you you had adhd because this thread wasn't about preference or other products but you trying to make it so.

i am done with this shit cause you and that woman are all over the place...she said corny but wouldn't say what corny is.

in the next thread both of y'all will be tryin to explain why women are fucked up for wanting bad boys..

this thread has become stupid ..

Again with the side step... OK man. Everything you cop has little to no markup, and we all need to strive to be like you. Congrats, you're a better person than those who dont.
 
Mark up is 1 thing...

But 220 for some 18 year old kicks..

A colorway in which Mike himself never wore in a game...

I can't justify shelling out $240.90

The hype machine is very real behind Jordan

That's just it, there no hype machine. The people hype the release more than anything. I've never heard or seen a commercial about retros. The people who buy the shoes are machine, that is not MJ fault.

The point seems to be going over your head...

What sort of computer are you on?
What sort of TV are you looking at?
What sort of car do you drive?

That's just it though. I don't think most are saying the shoes are worth 240. I'm just saying people pick and chose what they want to spend their money on. Everything has a markup and where's the line between ok, and stupid??? It's subjective. Everybody spends money on shit someone thinks it's stupid. So to go at people's neck about buying a shoe with a markup in some way... Makes you a hypocrite. Because everything has 1 and like BS kept side stepping it, where's the line???

It's not even that

My boy wants a gun that cost over a grand. That's the gun he wants. Are there guns that might be just as good? Are there guns that are cheaper?

Who am I to tell him what he wants to do with his money. It's his money.

For some reason whenever sneakers come up, muthafuckas get holier than thou. Nobody runs up in a BMW thread telling muthafuckas to get a good used 2010 Civic.

I work for Nike

I asked ppl when they were wearing their Js

85% told me they weren't going to wear them...(I'm assuming re-selling)

But to me it's bananas, but thats me. Tell me why a 16 year old wants the Retro 11s for $240 when they've never seen Mike play an actual game in their entire life?

Why? Because the masses say Js are cool...and if you wanna be cool...you'll buy these shits every December, Febuary, etc etc just to look like the next cool kid...

That's what it comes down to

I've never met Phil Knight, or saw him run... I like his shoes though... I don't see why that's hype. Or why it's Jordans fault. His shoes are iconic. The last actual Jordans I bought were the 23s. I had allot of the original Js so there's nothing for me to relive. I wanna see innovative designs, not shut I had growing up. So I'm not paying 240 for them. I would drop 240 on something that was different though.

Same reason my daughter asked me for 300 dollar head phones, same reason I wanted Ken Griffey baseball spikes.

You know??? Jordan never played pro-football. But I had some Jordan cleats in high school. I have no explanation for why some shut becomes iconic, and some shot doesnt. But Jordan and his brand are like Coco Chanel now. Bitches couldn't tell you what she looked like, what she stood for, or when she died. But people love the brand.
 

the 1's on the bottom left if them shits were the kd's or lebrons i def see people copping them ugly shits..them extra bright shits would be bought by mad skinny jean dudes and they'd rock those shits not matching with anything they wear..it's def a lot of color blind laundry day wearing motherfuckers out here these days...nigs be dressing like they colors are trying to compete with each other..looking like a box of fruit loops with their gear
