FTFY: Sneaker SNOBS don’t wear crappy shoes.

I’ve never been much of a Kanye fan, but man these takes are wacky. I don’t know if I’m just getting old, or if you all blocked the mid 2000s out of your memory, or what, but Kanye released like seven number one albums in a row. He was the definitive mainstream rapper; post Jay Z pre Lil Wayne timeframe. Who cares if t…

But they demonstrably do, though. Paying $800 to cop a pair that you’ll be able to find for $100 a month later isn’t a badge of honor.

If you’re looking to be original - which was the whole point before it became totally hype based - the outlet stores would get the crazier colorways, because - again - the goal isn’t…

Truthfully I didn’t know if there was some sort “sneakerhead code” or bylaws one must follow to be deemed a “sneakerhead” so I turned to the experts:

It doesn’t sound like he has the most expansive or exclusive collection, but it’s good enough to qualify him as a sneakerhead.  

He’s a sneaker head on a budget.

There’s no magic number someone needs to spend on a pair of shoes to be considered a sneaker head. I hope it rains the next time you wear your OW’s out. 

Your Coors example makes your standpoint sound even weaker, no? An alcoholic might like to drink anything with alcohol even if it isn’t their drink of choice.

You seem like you’re fun at parties

When most people have maybe 4 or 5 pairs of shoes in their closets, the guy with 60 pairs is definitely gonna fit the bill of a “sneakerhead” to them

Gatekeeping is lame. Especially lame when it’s as inconsequential as this.

You are correct, I stand corrected. If I remember correctly, they simply wanted scalpers using THEIR re-sale process instead of StubHub or similar.

No, Ticketmaster has not tried to combat it. Turns out they have actively encouraged this type of behavior because they make a cut on both the initial sale and the resell. They are in court right now, answering to that.

The CBC actually published an article on this a few months ago based on an undercover operation at a ticket selling expo in Vegas. Ticketmaster actually helps the mass buyers and bot owners to get first run tickets, making a fee on the sale. They do this knowing they will be re-listed immediately, often above face…

Am I being a bush-league Robin Hood or a total wet blanket when I rally against people buying shit that they don’t want just to charge more money from the person who really does want it?  I have a similar take on sporting event/concert tickets. 

Virginia should be forced to hang this banner. 

The documentary about the second half of his career will just be called Poo.

“Looks fine to me.”

That’s the most dad thing ever said
