First of all - this is the OT and those shoes should only be $350

Second - frick the complainers. That isn't evoking "poverty", it is giving that old lived in look but letting you buy it instead of having to earn it. I have a ratty as frick pair of Chuck Taylor's that took years to get looking like they do. I love those kicks.

I’m more offended by someone spending 500 on shoes. Don’t care what they look like

Let's not pretend that a certain demographic of poor people have multiple pairs of very expensive shoes.

This is a great fricking counter point.

Why would you pay $530 for sneakers, especially those?

No, you will probably have those for the rest of your life.

Since when is it ok to glorify poverty? Have you seen the trust fund kids are wearing these days? This isn’t new.
