the only point is that they're not 100% ugly(but close) but expensive and recognizable.

funny, ever since I started paying 300 + on shoes, the research needed has increased on my part, truth is, I don't want anyone knowing what label I am wearing, especially if I am spending that much, Those shoes scream, "I paid a rack for a pair of shoes" . I'll stick to my ferragamo's.

Are junior bankers with soho studios buying these?

Sure you can...and it's easy to see where you're going w. this thread. 

Yeah, the age old debate on NT. How you should spend your money according to wallstreet. 
Yes rappers wear them, yes young guys are wearing them because they are hyped. Hell I'll even go on to say that they are indeed ugly as sin. 

Its not hard to understand, the shoes are very expensive, its just like buying jewelry or buying a very expensive car, buying a high priced watch or wearing expensive suits. Its to flaunt. 

The price of the shoes don't matter at all really, because in this day and age dudes are dropping $1000 for vintage Nikes. 

The shoes are a status symbol, nothing more and nothing less.

A pair of common projects would suffice for me

if you got the dough tho, then why the hell not?

No. Ladies of the pole? Y€$.

Being tacky and an all around try-hard is a lifestyle?

A junior banker makes $120k a year in their early to mid 20s... That's why I asked if bankers wear them, because it's a lucrative career. Other than that, I don't know any non celebs that rake enough to spend $1000 on sneakers. Status symbol? to whom exactly?

You seem to be wayyyyy to concerned and annoyed by howthe next man spends his money, what is it to you?...is the next man dropping 1k on shoes depriving you of food?...get over it, people that can afford it or een those that can't and just save up for these or other high end things are entitled to do so, it's their money, they worked for it....you worry about yours, sounding extra jelly.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Your posting this on a website where dudes are salivating to stand on line for damn near a week to get a pair of kicks

[seth k]

I don't think jealousy means what you guys think it means. I am trying to gain clarity and an understanding on what motivates a grown man who isn't a celebrity to purchase these sneakers. That's all.

 

[al audi]

Seth, some might say the same about the nike logo or jordan symbol on your feet too.

You don't need to understand, it's not your money....but believe it or not, the quality an comfort of a lot of high end shoes/sneakers justifies the price tag a lot more than an overpriced pair of Jays with subpar quality and materials in the resellers market...

 

[witnesskb24]

Those are ugly but I'm sure you think these ugly #!+ things are acceptable to spend a lot on?
