Shortline Bus Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted August 22, 2012 I heard alot of people are already "upset" ranging from so called communty leaders in the Black Community. Groups such as the Urban League and soon others have urged Nike to lower the price or can selling them outright. http://tracking.si.c...sneakers-price/ Remember take away the Nike logo and those sneakers retail can be as low as $25-$30 genreic say at Wal-Mart.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted August 22, 2012 Share #6 Posted August 22, 2012 Can you buy them with EBT cards? @ Joe... LMAO... @Tokkemon, I'm sure these are Made in China and they're pricier than some of my current shoes from Italy. So much for Made in China equaling low prices...

So much for Made in China equaling low prices... Not to mention if they still on sale at the X-mas season ppl. stealing those babys(the sneakers) or charging $1,000 grand on BOOTLEG market on sites like Craigslist.

realizm Posted August 22, 2012 Share #9 Posted August 22, 2012 And no I'm not going to pay 300 bucks for shoes. 200 ollars, maybe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted August 22, 2012 Share #10 Posted August 22, 2012 Yeah made in China with pride. Now get back on topic and leave the commie talk for the other thread! It's a valid point that is on topic... So folks can't afford this that and the other and are so "poor", so we need cheaper products from overseas, but they're going to run out and spend over $300.00 for a pair of "imported" sneakers... If they are poor it's no wonder why. Talk about priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDTA Posted August 22, 2012 Share #12 Posted August 22, 2012 Yes. No, i'm just messing with you. Altough with school being in two weeks, if I get stuck in the gettho gym class, i'll make sure to count how many of those I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted August 22, 2012 Share #13 Posted August 22, 2012 Was a kicks fanatic when in high school, so seeing a $300 valued shoe is nothing out of the ordinary. But that's in the case that it was for a re-sale value of an older release that was probably limited. Lucky for me I left that community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCtrainfan01 Posted August 22, 2012 Share #16 Posted August 22, 2012 Absolutely not... I'll never pay past $50 for shoes.... Why shell out $300 for sneakers that will last for a little bit.... In this society, sneakers become a thing in of the past in the matter of months.... S--t like this is what causes the youth to mess up there priorities and spend thier parents money for something that's not worth it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesPwnMets Posted August 22, 2012 Share #18 Posted August 22, 2012 I don't see why anyone in their right mind would spend $300 on a pair of shoes. Being the geek I am, I rather spend it on a tech toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said in earlier thread on sneakers I have pairs around. One cheaper for around $25 and another off shoot of say reeboks, LA Gear or Nike for no more than $50. For $300 you can buy descent men suit sets. Thankfully I am long past being in high school having to worry to compete with the kiddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
