    I like footwear and all, I have quite a few pairs, But paying over 60 or 70 bucks for a pair of sneakers is stupid.. Deep down 60 or 70 is to damn much, Just to impress your boys...

    I guess I'm weird then, because I have 5 pairs of Nike Shox now that I rock, 5 different colors $110/pair. I love'em they last forever. I love my shoes!!

    My husband (GLENN) is the same way, I think he has 6 pairs or Shox

    I'll buy an expensive pair of sneaks...but I buy for the lightness and how it does on the court, not usually for show cause I know they are going to get scuffed up. When I buy for show, I buy around $50 price.

    I bought these shoes this week. I found this website, some may have heard about it Zappos.com. I fukin love it. No shipping charges, free return label already with your order. I ordered Monday afternoon, they arrived Tuesday morning!!! I couldn't believe it, overnight for free shipping. I won't pay 100 for a pair of sneakers, maybe a slick pair of dress shoes but not sneakers, 75 is my limit.

    well in the past I have paid over $200 for a pair of sneakers... but now since im on some grown man shit I cant afford to spend over $75.00... And $75 can easily buy you a pair of fashionable yet comfortable sneaks..

    I think is stupid.
    When I was in middle school, I got one pair of Jordans for like $115. Thats the only pair of shoes I've paid over $100 for. Now I just wear $50 Vans.

    I usually never have to go over Nor near $100 because I wear a kids size 6. Now my ex-bf gets all my shoes for $30 brand new and everything. I got Iversons, Nike, Jordans, etc

    I have every pair of Jordans (not the Jumpmans, and Trunners) that have been out except for this last pair that just came out. I am a MJ fan at heart. I used to hoop in them.

    If I have the money and I really like them, sure I'll get them. Although, I'd rather buy some nice heals instead of sneakers.

    I whine and complain if I spend $20 for a pair. WalMart shoes here, and I don't care. I'll buy a whole outfit for less than $50 and wear it like a prep wears A&F. Later, QD.

    The people that buy $100+ shoes, boots, do it because they

    1. Like it
    2. Have the money for it
    3. Want to be the first to wear it etc...........

    It is just like buying rims for your car (why not stay stock), certain brand of aftermarket parts for your car (why not get your parts from autozone, or pepboys?), or something as simple as quality of the product. Why keeping on buying a $20 dollar boots from Target that will only last for two weeks? Just my thoughts.

    your comparing shit to vaseline....

    1- Yeah, some are nice, kinda cool, But when I look inside or below the shoe to see a price tag, I laugh, and say "I can beleive people buy this shit".

    2- Don't have the money for it? In my case , Im just smarter. Is like going to the club and seeing guys all G qued out, with a beer they been holding for 45 minutes, with only $5.00 in there pocket, I see it all the time.

    3- Thats the biggest way to waste 150 bucks.

    Honestly, Is cool in away people are spending money like this, It keeps the economy going some what.
    Atleast from my point of view.


    YO YO YO, I need 5 dollars for gas... damn man, but you have 150 dollars Sneakers!
