    Saw a youtube short the other day about the differences between legit air Jordans and a pair of $40 knockoffs from some different factory in China, and they were listing things like how the netting is horizontal instead of 45°, and the little inch tall cartoon of a guy has the wrong number of fingers, and ended the video saying something like “so yeah, it’s really not worth it to buy cheap knockoffs, you should really spend the extra money to get the real thing”

    I wear 6e wide shoes. It kind of infuriates me that people spend more than I spend on shoes, not to have nice shoes to wear, but just to have them. I gotta grind my $130 boots to dust every 6 months, and these mfs are spending that much just to show them off. I hate sneakerheads dude it’s such a stupid hobby

      If you get blisters from that shoe but not the other over the same distance, then the first shoe is not fitted correctly or your socks are too short.
