As I'm sure you all know, the new Nike Air Jordan 11 Retro sneakers were release nation wide yeserday at midnight. They are the redistribution of Jordan's most popular and best selling model of sneakers, made famous in the movie 'Space Jam' when they made their first appearance on Michael Jordan's feet in the game against the 'Monstars'(that movie was the shit! lol). They are priced at $180 per pair!! That's fucking crazy!
What's even more ridiculously obsurd, however, is the pandomonium that the release of these shoes caused yesterday. From coast to coast, there were tens of thousands of people standing in line for hours just for the chance to purchase a pair of the shoes, which were in very limited supply everywhere. People were so obsessed and crazed over the shoes, that riots and vandalism ensued almost everywhere. There were stabbings, several hundred fights, shootings, broken glass doors and windows, etc. The police used pepper spary on alot of rowdy people, and made tons of arrests, on of which was a mother in Atlanta, who locked her two young children in the car while she stood for several hours in line attempting to buy a pair!!! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! HAS EVERYONE IN THIS COUNTRY GONE COMPLETLY INSANE!?? THEY ARE JUST SHOES YOU FUCKING MORONS!!!!!
What is wrong with people, how the fuck can people be so vain and concerned with appearance, that they are willing to not only waste almost $200 dollars of their hard earned money, but waste several hours of time, and even cause bodily harm to another person just so they're feet can look good!!! The only thing that makes those shoes any different from any other shoes you buy, are that they say Air Jordan on them. Why do people think that they need ridiculously overpriced apparell to feel good about themselves? I want to know how many people actually stop their stupid asses on the street, just so they can ask about their shoes. Probably not very many. Do they think these shoes are majical or something? That people are going to start randomly comming of to them and saying "Hey man! Are those the new Jordans?! Those are so cool. You're the most awesome and coolest person ever, just because of those shoes, I wish I could afford a pair so I could be as cool as you." A little overexagerated, but you get my point.
I think these people are the exact opposite of anything resembling cool. I think they're idiots. Anybody, that can justify purchasing $180 dollar pair of sneakers, that probably only cost $6 a pair to manufacture in China or malaysia!! YOU IDIOTS NEED TO GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!!! If you look on craigslist and ebay right now, these shoes are being resold for up to $500 dollars!!!!! And I guarantee there are people that are even dumber than those who spent $200 dollars, that will buy them, just so they can walk around with that feeling of self entitlment. And if you think about it, what in the fuck were thousands and thousands of people doing waiting in line for hours on a workday!? Guaranteed, the majority of these idiots were a big part of this countries unemployent percentage!!! How mind blowing is it to think that this is what some people in this country have become. A bunch of selfish, vain assholes who only care about what people think or feel about a pair of shoes on their feet, and the supposed bragging rights they earn from when wearing them.......which brings me to say, "They may not have a job, or be able to feed their children, or afford a place to live...But Damn!!! they sure do look good in those shoes."
Check out this video of the mayhem. The lady at the end actually said it was worth getting trampled on just so she could get her neices and nephews what they need..........NEED!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5W956OrC8k
Regardless of what people have if it makes them happy then so be it.
ReplyDeleteyou can be a lawyer and be forever stressed and sad or a garbage man coming home to his family feeling accomplished. Likewise if people like euro cars why not just settle for a cheap domestic car ? Its just choice if people like these shoes or not. They choice with ones cash is their choice and its your opinion whether its a waste or not. Though you shouldn't be ripping on what others buy because its their choice and their desire. Have you ever seen a doctor wear air jordans? I have.
a fire fighter or a teacher? Your opinion is the same as me saying that your jeans choice is shit though its not up to me to make assumptions. Though to me an good opinion is something that can be said to peoples faces and in turn make them accept and understand rather then become violent.
Therefore I come to the conclusion that yes some people are extreme but if it makes you feel good then why not let them. For alot of people theres not much in this world for them to feel good and I can honestly say you would never walk in the ghetto and state your opinion calling them dumb and stupid.
So in all your opinion is shit.
