You tell people they're worth 500 and people will buy them since they want to own shoes that are worth 500 since that's that rich nigga shit you feel me my nigga?

>>76071348
>this itty-bitty baller mindset

do you seriously believe people buy the things they buy because of their use value?

identity and social status and sex are and always will be important to people. Late capitalism exploits those needs and insecurities through providing nice sneakers that make people feel good for a while. These insecurities are further reinforced and co-created by advertisement. Then, some other people like you reject the idea of building identity and status through commodities, and get to feel special about having discovered the superficial nature of consumerism, the only drawback being other people looking down on your general appearance and lack of style.

Niggers don't think like we do. They don't see the harm in stabbing someone to death for a pair of shoes that no one will give a fuck about in 6 months time because they don't see the other side of the trade off. Getting 25 to life. They have the foresight of a lampshade. Do you really think it's going to be that hard to sell them a pair of memes that look like shit? They think like children. They should be treat like children.

This is patently false. I'm not saying there is a $483 difference in quality between these two examples, but a $100 pair of Nikes or Adidas or Pumas are much more durable and comfortable than anything you can buy at Walmart.

>>76073795

No not really, especially in regards to sneakers. Some shaq's or starbury's will last you just as long, if not longer than Jordans/Lebrons/etc.

is it because they are so expensive?

>>76075436

>>76074352
But why do they want the shoes? There is a psychological reason behind every impulse.

There is no such thing as "just wanting" something, there's a reason for every person to have a desire. The desire is engrained from years of culturing and relationships.

Nobody "just wants"

Because buying a proper pair of shoes actually does provide more support and comfort than your 17 dollar sneakers. Go try a pair of Ultra Boosts at your local mall and tell me that shit ain't great. Are you overpaying for what you get? Sure but you definitely get quality in return

Nah to be honest. There is a difference in quality. This difference however is not reflected in the price.

>>76079751

When I lived in Australia I worked at a meatworks as a standup forklift driver. I bought a pair of $600 boots and I got two years of pure comfort out of them.
