It is hard to imagine that there was not someone inside of Nike that lost their faith in humanity when the pitch for these things was originally taking off.

    I talked to a bunch of sneaker heads over the years and i don’t think i’ll ever get it. I don’t like to shit on someone’s hobby, but buying shitty super overpriced sneakers made by slaves is a weird ass hobby.

      Especially considering most of the time they likely won’t even wear the things because of either how much they cost or because they find them to be a collectors item.

      Personally I’d rather buy the slaves. And set them free of course. Yes, of course.
