Nah bro. I didn't take it like that at all. I just think it's a common misconception.
WDYM by this?
His thing was, he grew up a super street dude.
. It's money but you just value it differently. The same **** can be said with clothing.
I could see that too. It's really all trial and error with the parent thing.
Yeah I guess I just had a very different upbringing-I’m a 1st gen immigrant and my family never had money for much besides food in the table (which was still a lot more than a lot of people had). I didn’t really have any nice clothes growing up and my 1st pair of Js was a pair of used 2001 Columbias I bought from my neighbor with $60 I saved up lol I always looked as that stuff as aspirational but ultimately secondary to getting an education, career, and house, etc. Even now, I’m well into my career and have more sneakers than I’ll ever need, I’m still thankful I was able to go to a great university and get multiple degrees without debt, etc. because my family was able to support me (along with other means and low end jobs to pay for my day-to-day expenses at the time) they just didn’t have the money to do that and also keep me looking fresh-and I’m 1000% NOT hating on anyone who had parents to help them do this when they were young, that’s just life.His thing was, he grew up a super street dude.
Basically he credited his start to wanting to get fresh. As we both looked back at **** we aren't proud of, we recalled doing **** that we shouldn't have to buy sneakers. It sounds dumb now but you only know what you know.
He gets his kids dope **** so they know it's tangible (without doing dumb ****). Also if u have a lot of it you tend to value it less, clothes are just clothes, Target, Gucci, Prada it's just clothes. But what you like same as this sneaker stuff.
Idk how old you are but do you remember getting ten dollars as a kid and how big a deal that way. Imagine starting from 100 bucks, or even 1000. Ultimately you look at 10 bucks like
Agree with this to some degree. At least for me, there was definitely a age where it definitely began to matter. My first pair of ever having I guess a "nice shoe" was a pair of white/blue Reeboks. Don't remember the model, but loved them. My mom did go crazy one school year for I and my other 3 siblings, but beyond that it was one pair a year. 2 sometimes with the 2/$89 deal that used to be around.
I'll have to check this out.
