Do Latinos Really Go As Hard With Jordans As People Make Us Out To...?

[lesfamilia]

Maybe it's because I am in fact Latino, but I never really noticed this until recently.  According to what I hear from customers in the West Philly sneaker store I work at and from random conversations in general, people say that Latinos go overboard when it comes to rocking Jordan footwear.  Has anybody else heard anything that adds up to this stereotype?

Depends where you live.

Great post! I bet they would love it over at $.C. When I think of people wearing J's latino would be way down the list.

I live in NC and I have definitely seen them go hard with the Jordan gear all Jordan gear down to the slides. Team Jordans and all of that. They seem to love it.

Yes. And I work in a shoe store.

Not being racist... just throwing out what I've witnessed ...

Black people will come out for Retro Jordans and that's about it.

Everything else... from the As You Go... to the True Flight... to the Team elite... to anything you can think of, mexicans cop including Retro .

Somebody's buying those Jordan's. They don't just sit there and collect dust.

Plus, alotta times, when money is an issue, their parents don't know much about them, so.they'll get their kid anything that has a jumpman on it.

Black parents will mostly go in tbr opposite direction, like forces or polos, because they only really care about Jordan's with a number and those are the highest ones.

This is def true in my area.  

 

[8pm at msg]

I gotta say yeah. And when I was younger quite a few of the Latino kids would go hard with the lace swapping to match their Jordans too.

Its funny when latinos act racist yet they got on jordans.... and listening to BLACK RAPPERS and all their role models are black athletes and entertainers

 

[freakydestroyer]

In the Bay, it is pretty rare. Most of them tend to wear lower priced shoes. But the few who do rock J's, rock them hard.
