Is it? I know nothing about it except for it's expensive and limited. And he's got a locked in market audience.

Is there real genius to it? Because if the shoes are any indication, I start to question your sanity as well. Melted nerf football looking high heel goat hoof looking shoes.

genius marketing because he created a demand and limited supply, thus creating his own market and controlling the price of his items.


I'm not saying I like the product... I only rock neon orange Nikes

I don't enjoy his music and the fact he supports Candace Owens is a big-time turn-off too.

Ah. Okay. Yeah.

Not that it's genius because it's good, but genius because he's able to milk his rabid fanbase and the trendcore kids.

I don't appreciate his music but can respect that it's an art form that some people like

Round about 1990-ish, I had a pair of blue Stadia's that were Nike Air knockoffs from Payless.

One day, walking up the stairs at school, a kid pointed out that my shoes were just like his... except his were real Nikes. Everyone laughed.

Feels bad poor man.

Just the cost the next day is well. Ouch. >_<

These days I'm more like 2 waters to 1 drink in order to be functional the next day.

Which sucks because I'm only 22.

It ain't over until Biden is sworn in.

But, we MAY celebrate if he reaches 270. I guess I don't have to get shitfaced tonight.
