laugh of the day.
Man I work with youth and I stay preaching to the young culture vultures on the daily. Most of them laugh and shrug it off, but I've turned a light bulb on for a few of them as well. It's funny, most of the time they will admit they buy (or their parents) what they buy just because everyone has it. Buy what you like or at best, buy what makes your feet feel good.
For me personally. I grew up in the Jordan era, but I don't think you will ever catch me with a pair of "J's". Aside from something popular like the "Flu Games" or "Space Jams" most of the youngsters that get every pair of J's today can't even tell you when they debuted or the significance behind them. It's like the culture I knew and grew up with has been over exploited and over saturated by whipperschnappers that weren't even around back in the 80's. Boy, just to be in the know, social status, I tell ya.
