> [@Fry](#): > > One difference is $4850, another is you can wear it without ruining its value, another is that an expensive watch is made by a skilled craftsman not unskilled 3rd world labor. > > Don’t get me wrong it’s still buying identity, but at least you’re buying the identity of a successful rich person when you buy an expensive watch. When you buy sneakers that you don’t intend to wear you’re buying the identity of the other sneaker collectors. Does anyone worth emulating collect sneakers? Didn’t this whole nonsense start with Jordans so you were at least emulating someone with talent? Fucking kids forgot about the talent part and just emulate each other now. Imma let you finish but I bet a lot of rich successful people own those sneakers 🙂 ---

> [@LZ](#): > > My hate for these things are they look like moon boots and the most of the people buying them are using my tax dollars lol +1 I don’t understand the infatuation with ghetto “thug” sneakers like these. Every single one of them look the exact same and are ugly as hell. With that said the owners of this type of footwear go hand in hand with that. On a side note I see Jay-Z is packing on the years and looking rough. ---

> [@Fry](#): > > Why the fuck would you buy sneakers and not wear them? Collecting sneakers is almost the dumbest shit on Earth, [second only to the obesity epicemic](http://beastmodaldomains.com/2011/11/09/fat-acceptance-is-unacceptable/). Stamps, watches, paintings, coins. You can organize and display that shit, and has some sort of value from rarity or craftsmanship. Fucking sneakers come off a Korean assembly line and any idiot with the cash can grab a pair. Are you going to organize and display sneakers? No, you’re going to keep them in the box in your closet and then only take them out to impress the other rich white kids who spend their money on this because they are afraid of cocaine. Holy hell usually when you spend money on something purely to absorb status points into your feeble sense of identity it’s a bit better disguised as something worth owning. This is like a really good marketer’s practical joke. “Fuck me I’m going to see just how fucking ugly and worthless I can make these and watch these morons still flock to them because they’re too braindead to stop and think ‘Fuck this is stupid.’” Ah, it’s been a while since we had a good Fry rant. :tup: I mean they look like festering boils half wrapped in rancid cheese. ---

people collect weird shit, I can’t hate. I bet the same dudes hating on the Yeezy’s pay for upgraded cable so that they can watch shitty TV shows about people who collect weird shit; hoarders for one, storage wars etc. watches and shoes are more similar than you think. It’s just that these Yeezy’s are the equivalent to a Casio G-shock where as a Rolex is more comparable to some John Lobb double-monks bro!! Yeezy’s, G-shocks etc. are trading off quality and ballerdom for trendiness. It’s all good bro. ---
