Fucking hate hate hate hate sneakerheads.
Sorry I grew up with a single mother and we could only afford Payless shoes and then getting teased by idiots throughout my school years for wearing no-name shoe brands.
I can count on one or two fingers the amount of times I've looked at someone's shoes and cared about the style or brand.
Fuck Phil Knight and Michael Jordan.
"Republicans buy shoes too" a quote from Jordan.
I don't care what he did on the basketball court, he's lucky he won between the competitive 80s and dodged the big centers of the 90s. Give me Kareem or LeBron as GOATs in the basketball conversation for not being total knobs.
When I went to school some kid tried to diss me by saying "I bet you got them at a discount" and I didn't understand, because I did and that meant we could also afford a winter coat from the surplus store.
I always make sure to voluntarily pay twice as much for all my clothing items because that makes them better somehow.
"LOL you paid less money for the same product" really sums up my entire problem with the obsession.
It's one of the most disttilled forms of consumerism.
These shoes made out of the exact same materials costs three times as much because of the name on them and the color combo, unless enough people don't agree they're cool and don't buy enough of them then the value plummets even though its literally the same product.
It’s the same argument people had during the PS3/360 days. If you had a PS3 you were considered poor because you got to play online for free, while 360 users had to pay… for the exact same feature.

Bird and Magic ruled the 80's. In the 90's Mutumbo, Hakeem, Robinson, Barkley, Malone, Kemp, and other bigs played in the Western conference while the East had Ewing, Mourning and young Shaq.
How did he dodge them when he won 6 championships in the early and late 90s and had a winning record against teams with dominant centers with Bill Cartwright then Luc Longley as a starters.
MJ averaged 28 / 6 / 4 against Seattle in '96, which had far more to do with Gary Payton's defense than Shawn Kemp.
MJ dropped four 40+ games in a row against Barkley, including getting 55 in game 4.
MJ averaged 33 pts against the Jazz in the '97 and '98 finals and dropped 45 in his final game 6 in '98.
MJ averaged 31 / 5 / 4 against Mutumbo. Mutumbo average just over 10 points against MJ.
MJ averaged 31 / 5 / 4 against Olajuwon dating back to 1984 and going through the wizards era (where he dropped 21 / 4 / 3 on Hakeem). Hakeem, for his part, averaged 22 / 11 / 3 blocks against MJ teams.
Also dismissing "young Shaq" is wild. The Bulls championships well into Shaq's career.
Like MJ is a piece of shit no doubt but this is just silly

Folks argue the Western conference was the better conference therefore Jordan has an easier path playing in the East. I too hated MJ and always rooted against the Bulls.
I don't mean to downplay Shaq. Him and Penny were my fav team, but experience helps in the NBA and he became even better throughout his career so I thought I should note he was still developing. I hated him by the time he was in the West ruining the one shot the Timberwolves ever had of winning.
