Them sneakers are overpriced and they don't cost much to make..Simple.

I'm glad people are waking up about these sneakers.

 

[Complex]

White people might not wear them as much

They don't matter when it comes to us or our fashion

They have never dictated what's cool

Also, lets not forget the long lines our people would wait to buy jordans but wouldn't do the same applying for a job.

Plus our people were killing each other over sneakers...

They are also buying the replicas aka knock offs because they are virtually identical for far less money. They are all over Facebook, tic tok and the gram

Welp guess you was wrong

Welp guess you was wrong

So, what about the other cities like chicago?

I still stand on what I said.

I'll bet the lines were longer compared to those lines at the job fair.

Because I've been to job fairs in philly and them lines were never as long as the people standing out for jordans.

Know about a lot of job fairs and there's always lines, I've sent many people to job fairs and they are packed.. 1 of the biggest things is promotion , Nike, Jordan have millions and billions of dollars promoting their product through many sources online and on diff media outlets, is every job fair publicized as much to our community? The answer is no.. when info is given and pushed the same more individuals appear.. this is the difference.. my first job we was in the streets and promoting job openings and being that I was a teenager going to black neighborhoods more people my age and older wanted to apply cause the pay was great and I explained what different things you had to do.. when you approach people like this more people are willing to work

Yup, but also there's more options to get some nice affordable sneakers.

Back then I would buy jordans because wearing name brand was how you got respect until I got older realizing how much money was being wasted buying these overproduced sneakers is when I stopped buying them and never looked back.

Dress shoes are better which I wouldn't mind investing in some nice dress shoes with longevity.

Even with all that of what you've said, people were still killing each other over sneakers because they saw a person with them on which they couldn't afford. People using their last paycheck for jordans instead of pay their bills first or not feeding their kids unless they got some jordans to impress a bunch of people who don't care about hem and these are people who had jobs that weren't making six figures but having average or below average salaries.

Also, during covid when jobs were closing down left and right, people were still out there in lines for jordans.

So, depending on the market and cities, there will be bigger job fairs than others.

I've been to plenty of job fairs in different parts of philly from big to small ones including apprenticeships fairs and also helped others or told them about it giving out flyers to them back then.

Now people can just stay home and interview on zoom for jobs without having to attend job fairs even though that's still a option for them to attend job fairs if they want to.

I like the low top 1`s thats pretty much all i wear ...

cheaper and comfortable ... all white or all black goes with everything in my closet ....

Different races were and killing over Jordans.. some Spanish sneaker seller got popped not to long ago . Just like iphones and Asians, whites and black Friday . Consumers causing riots, fighting, killing has happened with many products.. consumers lined up more than job fairs can be for various culture
