Nobody said anything about a sneaker community, I'm talking regular real life out here. If you can't or don't want to go through what it takes to get something then don't but doing an end around something and acting like its all good is weak in my opinion. No different than a dude that can only afford to cop a late model camry but because he wants to stunt so hard he grabs that 03 Bmw 745i with 180,000 miles on it just so he can say he got a beamer too. Its not a sneaker thing to me its a living a fake life thing. If i can't get my hands on it for what i think is reasonable or wasn't able to cop when something originally dropped then it isn't the end of the world but to take the extra steps of copping something that "looks almost like it" is really something i'm not about. Just me though, do you.Dudes are just thirsting to flex, if you didn't cop space jams back in 09 and you don't have the money or interest in copping at resale then you have to accept that and move on. Thats life and how things go sometimes but to spend your hard earned money on something you know isn't kosher simply because you want to be a part is weak. Same goes for team 4 months early on instagram, some people get samples on a regular basis but if all your super early pickups are jb gr releases, stop it.
Want to be a part of what? I don't care about no damb "sneaker community" or "sneaker game" or whatever you all call it. I cop my **** to rock when I'm out here. I don't even wanna' be affiliated with any tight jean wearin, snapback rockin, weird tattoo havin' hipster nerds. I have a DS pair of Space Jams direct from Finishline in my closet right now, but If I can find another pair for less than $300 that is the same quality as those, then I'm on it. Is there something wrong with liking Jordans now? If Nike had an option to cop retro Js in OG colorways off of their site for $300, I'd cop all day, but the way things are now, I have to hope that Ebay has 'em, and then I have to pay $300 and who knows if I am even getting officials or grey markets anyways?
