Someone explain to me why people like Jordans

[Shkimabobs]

Never understood the aesthetic qualities of these shoes.



They look incredibly clunky, unnecessarily large, and the right triangle shape of it really ruins it for me. I live in Vancouver, and I never see anyone wearing Jordans, so it might be just a cultural thing.

But yeah, someone please explain to me why you'd want to spend 200 dollars on a leather triangle.

First off, people only wear like 5-6 of the 21 up there. A lot of them are kinda ugly tbh.

This, and a lot of people that wear Jordans (at least the ones I know of) are douche bags.

[arlo235]

People like them cuz pop culture said its cool. People like to conform. I only like one kind of Jordan's but I still might not buy them.

[rynnp]

some jordans actually look pretty good.
and no racist but they do look good with african americans (no homo and no racist)

i would never buy them anymore tho. there are cheaper and better alternatives, but i do see the appeal.
it looks good(some), represents a popular brand/image/bball player, its exclusive (heard some are very limited/rare)
also the actual bbal shoes look pretty good on court (melo, chris paul, j 28, etc.) but nike is superior imo

[chorus]

There's a certain type of people who buy these.
I'll let you guess

This is the way it is with everything.

Idk but there shorts are some of the few that fit my ass

[anonymous]

a lot of shoes, basketball shoes in general not just jordans, look chitty as fuk. some look pretty nice though, not worth 150-200 dollars imo though

[anonymous]

it's kinda like beats headphones, you're paying for the name mainly

[APflyer]

only ever seen white boys wearing jordan's over here, it's like short guys and air force ones

[Camwilsy]

Can confirm no one wears Jordan's in vancouver except in surrey were i go to school lot of fgts were them here

[susaree]

When I lived in Ontario and was in the 8th grade
I got my mum to spend like 240 dollars on a pair of jordans just cuz everyone wanted them
now.. their collecting dust in a plastic bag in my storage room some people don't even know what jordans are over here
plus they look huge
I don't even see why people like any type of high-tops

[Lighten923]

Jordans are common here. I think some of them look pretty nice. Post you're idea of a good looking sneaker I'm curious

Also like some1 said its a status symbol being able to wear the designer shoes, headphones, watches, hats, clothes, ect.

[MuscleMigraine]

The 4s, 5s, and 6s are nice

[JDizleSwoleizle]

Had some OG pairs when I was a kid, everyone wore bball shoes back then. Have several pairs now, mostly 3's-8's.

[x1Dylan1x]

bought mine , kept them in good shape. sold 3 pair for around $1000 . theyre way too hyped up and easy to make a quick buck off of them.

[James24WR]

I think they arw a waste of money.


Plus I hate Micheal Jordan and his cheating a**.

[Shkimabobs]

These are the shoes im currently wearing. Yeah, they're on a very pricey side, but I get my feet hugged in leather. Most people in Vancouver wear Lacoste shoes if you were wondering what Vancouver people find "aesthetic"

[RagingClue]

Agree with OP, Jordan's are fugly, overpriced, and only ghetto wannabes wear them.

[JDizleSwoleizle]

Skip to 5:40

11:20, 12:45 Also wearing a JB T in the vid

[Rob7878]

Most people I know that wear them are manlets because they give an extra 1-1.5" of height while shoes like Lacoste and pumas only give like 0.5" srs

[James24WR]

Id rather not support a player that could barely read at a high school level and took fake classes in college ro sray eligible. MJ was good but it was a joke that he could play at UNC. Never wen to classes and somehow stayed eligible, just like most UNC athletes in the last 4 decades. Everyone around these parts knows it.

[TruKnight]

you should prolly ask these guys op: http://niketalk.com/f/

cliffs: hype and $

I personally do not like them

[RainingBlood]

They are a status symbol.

Weirdly enough, the target audience for Jordans are poor black people who want to appear rich.

[Rabie72]

Jordans imo, only looks good on guys who are big, look freaking stupid when a skinny dude wears them.

I like these on though, prob gonna buy them

[Achieving]

Used to collect kicks, now I just buy numerous pairs of Roshes instead of a single pair of J's. More cost-efficient and much more comfortable.

roshes are dope as ****

only J's people really wear are 1s, 3s 4s, 5s, 7s, 11s, 6 rings, and spizikes. The rest are rarely seen. The reason people want/wear/collect is all because of hype. Jays usually retail around 180 but if you have bred 11s from like 01 they will sell for 400-500 dollars. All hype brah

edit: Nike air Yeezy 2 "Red Octobers" are another example of the hype. Theyre ugly ass shoes, but a pair runs your 2500 cuz theyre so hyped up.
