[TRINI4LIFE]

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!

I hate when people Stereotype.... Not everyone that wears "$150" pair of sneakers is broke. Yeah people do it BUT not everyone... You sound like the type of person that go places to look and compare people and what is not in your perspective it is stupid. People buy thing for a reason whatever it might be that is thier Prerogative. You need to broaden your horizon, I think that if you have the money like six figures a year you would "waste" money too. I mean who wouldn't?

dude relax... why getting so offended? I careless what you or your homeboys spend the money on.. ... and honestly I see more 6 figure people rocking regular shoes then any bum out there. So once again your comparing shit to vaseline.
Me stereotyiping? No, But call it what you want, But is the true. Actually you are stereotyping, what you think only 6 figure people can afford that type of stuff?
I need to broaden my horizon? what a joke, you don't know me at all....I don't make 6 figures.. ..But I have made 26 k so far this year... you do the math.
But just because You make money it doesnt mean you should blow it away, but whatever you know is your dough. I can afford more then 150 dollar shoes, I just think is a dumb investment.

So Stop hatting because Im more then likely saying the truth. actually you sound like a salesman.. wait a minute, you made a post about selling sneakers ... heheh relax player..

When you get older you get wiser, I was young and dumb one time and made dumb decisions.
But is my opinion, if you don't like it to bad.

[TRINI4LIFE]

Dude you are the one that is getting offended. And for you to talk about "HOMEBOYS" that statement that you made does make you a Stereotype. I do not know you and you do not know me either.All I am saying is that if you choose not to purcahse anything expensive that is your business. I can careless what you spend your money on or how much you make per year etc..... You have a couple of valid points (I agree) but it is there lives so let them live it to the extent that THEY want to. If they want to convert there cars from Non Turbo to Turbo (to drive faster or because the way it sounds or to impress their friends) and can't buy gas to drive it, that is thier business not yours. It is stupid to do that but it is still their business. It is the same as buying sneakers, bently, big ass houses etc...

[Julio]

I will quote myself

$100.00 for sneakers?.. Not dress shoes...
Just sneakers?



I think is stupid.

I never ask why do people buy them.. I asked would you ... Like I said before I careless what people buy w/ there money, is there money....

But on the other hand is no lie.... Thats why most of us in this country owe money are in debt... because some people rather Buy shoes or some other items rather then pay a bill.. you see a whole diffrent topic.

BTW im not offended at all... But you sound like a true salesman... hehe

[Kevykev]

I know the both of you, and all i know is both of you need to STFU!

no one will 'win" this argument.

[Julio]

I would much rather have a boosted car then a 20 pair of the hottest sneak's out in the market right...

I mean, who wouldn't?

[Julio]

You know I can win this argument..... hahah but it wont be fair... lol

[Kevykev]

I bet a 16 year old boy that was previously traumatized from a serious car accident in the past wouldn't. Just to give an example of course

[5thgcelica]

But then again you can count the 16 year old kids driving around in Boosted cars, Atleast around the atl.

Pretty soon there wont be many.... with the new "JOSHUA" law..

[Kevykev]

muhfukka might be afraid of boost, much less, cars as a whole, NAAAAAAAAAAH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN???

[5thgcelica]

well how about a 23 guy named Kenneth from boston that was previously in the scene but since his best friend was killed in a car wreck, he is now ultimately persuaded to drop the whole "tuner scene" as a whole in honor of his buddy that passed away.

That muthafukka is the one who want 20 purrs of sneeks, Nah Mean?

[Julio]

muhfukka might be afraid of boost, much less, cars as a whole, NAAAAAAAAAAH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN???

but this is what a typical 16 year old may asked when he wakes up after a coma or something...

16 year old - Hey moma, Where am I
Moma- Son you are in the hospital, you wrecked your Civic
16 year old - really? are my Air jordans still ok?





hahhahahahahaha :P

[5thgcelica]

[Kevykev]

but this is what a typical 16 year old may asked when he wakes up after a coma or something...

16 year old - really? are my Air jordans still ok?

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a!

he didn't say "Jordans", he said "AIR JORDANS" only WACK people say air jordans, lol



***IF YOU SAY ''AIR JORDANS'' YOU MIGHT WANT TO EVALUATE YOURSELF AS A PERSON, BECAUSE YOU JUST MIGHT BE WACK"

LOL

[Julio]

Hey, Maybe he had some beat up nike's (old school )

So you think I can write a book now? hahaha

[Kevykev]

But on a serious not, I seriously know how to manage money. I'm usually the one people come to for money to borrow.

And although i will not spend $150 on a pair of J's like i used to in HS, if i get a hook up for $90 i'd buy 'em now.

it's good to "splurge" sometimes nah mean?

[Kevykev]

So you think I can write a book now? hahaha

NO!

but you can give me some of that 26k NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GGRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN!!!! $$$

[Julio]

My whole point with this thread was to actually get more in depth about some of the shoe companies out there... But as you can see this thread went down left field, as the usually do in the whoreslounge.

I read an article on some magazine while i was at the barber shop a couple of weeks ago about NIKE and all that good stuff... it was actually pretty interesting.

[Kevykev]

breifly, what was interesting?

[Julio]

breifly, what was interesting?

The Nike topic, it was actually the guy who started the company and he has never had an interview till that one magazine I was reading... But hes about to retire..
Just the things he had to do to make the company be the best.. and the people he had to sign M. jordan was one of the 1st one he signed...

Did you know that NIKE was called RED RIBBON when it 1st started?

[Kevykev]

nah man, i didn't...lol don't think it woulda made it this far under that name.

[TRINI4LIFE]

Good arguments Julio..... Never at one point I got offended, I like challenges and you prove valid points, and that is what I wanted everyone to see. AS FOR KEVY KEV YOU STFU. Don't you see two grown ass men having a discussion????? I know that Gran tought you better than that.....

[carrascopa]

this thread reminds me of an incident in high school my senior year

(flashback..wavy lines...flashback...)

there was this cat where i went to school at(banneker high) and he liked crackin jokes about my gear honestly all i wear is what is comfortable to me....a pair of blue jeans, boots(depending on the weather) and a t shirt..we got along in football games and practice but around his peers it was joke time mostly. ne way.... he asked my why i always wear jeans, my reply was cause they are comfortable,and i'm not in school for a fashion show. he replys immediately that it's cause i'm broke and my parents cant afford to buy my clothes( cue in classmates chuckles and giggles). i reply i work and i buy my own clothes. fast forward to the next day. the patent leather jordans(black/white ones) had just came out the night before and low and behold guess who comes in rocking them? mr joke master. well he brags about the price that he paid($145) and that he was the first to buy them at that particular store. me and him didnt have a hate relationship but since i was the new guy in school he had a person he could mess with.

well lunch time rolls around and i'm sitting at the table with folks i was cool with at the time and i get up to head to the candy store in the hall. dude is aproaching me and before we pass each other he stops me and asks me if he can get 2 dollars from me for lunch, promising to pay me back the next day. i smirk, looked down at his shoes and said with all the money you blew on those shoes, eating should be no problem. i walked past him and bought my candy, went back and finished my lunch and left.
