Dudes writing MLK type speeches because of shoes. Citing people being out of town as being "less privileged",.
It's really not that *%@$##* serious anymore, as you get older you will figure it out. Nike/JB created this and can you blame them, I'm sure their profit margins aren't hurt. They can release any "classic" at any time and people will flock to it.
I missed out on this release, five years ago, I would've made sure I was on the internet on time to place my order. Now, if I get them I get them, if I don't, I don't *shrugs*. I was having dinner with the fam, when I noticed the time. Knew it was a wrap, so continued to chill, not a damn was given that night.
Perhaps i'm too compasionate of a person. I have the blood of a philanthropist because my father
always taught me to give back to the community (he was a social worker who made very little but
gave a lot... my roots are with him and I still mentor to this very day on the weekends: i believe in the kids)
, It's a *%@$##* pair of shoes that NO ONE needs.
I mentioned that some people may not have enough money saved up, then immediately i stated due to
financial obligations/reasons for whatever it may be (e.g. if a family member was sick and i had to assist with
medical bills because their insurance was covering the bare minimum or a dear friend of mine got a DUI the
week the Concords were to be released and i intended to allocate that money to shoes but now must help a
comrade in dire need - i will react accordingly).
If they don't NEED the shoes why are they putting themselves in financial peril just to satisfy a "want". It's nice to want and save for things, but if you can't afford it then you can't afford it. Tough lesson, but that's life. Hey, I would love to have an Audi R8 as a weekend car, but that is a luxury I can't afford and I don't feel "less privileged" or feel like my dream has been shattered because I don't have that car in my driveway.
And think about the less fortunate and ultimately, the kids...
. Stop buying $175 dollar shoes every other month and donate your time and money to the less fortunate if you feel that badly. You don't need these shoes, you can buy some vans for $45 and use the remaining $130 to buy a couple of pairs for truly needy children.

Ehh....
Dude went ham on my post. Obviously hit a nerve on a reseller with dreams to be balling via stock-gaping inventories
and sitting on his ebay account all day.
That can't be life.
Frankie say relax.
I'll just say this:
Some people choose to live near airports because the real estate is more affordable.
I think others ought to consider relocating to said areas because they're accustomed to having things constantly fly over their heads.
