Why are Jordans hated so much on /fa/? I never understood it really, I understand not liking loud obnoxious colorways but what about some of the undeniable classics 1's 3's 4's etc.? I feel like it's because the stigma they have behind them which is retarded.

TL:DR /fa/ hates Jordans because of name and stigma not because of looks

certain Jordans are almost always hideous, (as I said in the other thread, 8s, 12s, 15s, etc) but a lot of them can be really good and can tie a fit together. I think everyone should have at least one pair of jordans.

>tfw your grail was only ever released in Japan and I can't ever seem to find a 12/13 because of tiny little asian feet :(

LOL, and I would agree anything past a 12 is hideous and even then there are some sprinkled in between that.

>> No.7741651

Well I personally dislike the looks of Jordans. My girlfriend and I deride wearers of Jordans who pick colorways that don't look good with anything outside of the complementary t-shirts.

They're overpriced due in part to the name and the stigma. /fa/, like any 4chan board, attacks almost everything though. As a result of the community not being composed of one hive mind you'll often hear contradictory views on pieces and their vendors.

If you think you can look good in a pair of Jordans you should purchase them rather than choosing a sneaker that the internet recommends to you that you do not like as much. On a related note, I played basketball in High School and a single pair of Jordans lasted me the entire duration and I can still wear them when I play with family members and friends.

because jordans are black thing

seriously. millionaire black dudes who can afford any pair of shoes in the world still walk around in shitty footlocker jordans. its a pride thing

the problem is they look retarded on anyone who isn't black. it took me many years to realize that. i used to collect jays and had over a dozen pairs

but my taste changed after i got out of high school. i bought a pair of dior homme sneakers and that was the end of it

the quality of jordans has also taken a nosedive in recent years, and MJ has basically whored out all the best colorways in these fucking stupid packages he keeps putting out every other week

it was around the time the grape 5s came out as retro that i realized how fucking stupid this whole thing was. i was standing in line with a bunch of kids and hooligans waiting for a fucking pair of tennis shoes that probably wouldn't even be my size

today i walk into ysl or dior or lv at my leisure and have people waiting on me hand and foot.

in short

>only look good on black people

not true... i've had a pair of 3s from 2011. wore them religiously for 2yrs, played bball in them. they're still pristine. only problem is the paint chipping, but it's fixed easily.

I'm not the type to say "i was born in the wrong geneation hurrdurr"
As a black teen, I have a love/hate for Js.

I HATE the jordan and "sneakerhead" culture of todays youth, of all races...
it's sad. nobody cares about actually looking good, they only care about looking good. a lot of my peers are the same...
"awe shit ahella niggas talking about x? damn nikka i'm fin cop x with money I should use on other useful shit" same goes with a lot of nigga brands. Gucci, Louis, fendi, etc. RL polo, true religion. it goes on
I'm tired of the nigga-mentality. idk how to explain it. there's not authenticity and individualism in people.


I admit, i'm a hypocrite... i've spent $300 on shoes and a lot of $$$ on clothing. in the long run... it's not helping me. I'm a human and I love being materialistic. my only difference is that I do it for me.

all in all, it's niggas who have ruined the jordan brand. jordans make great shows. great quality, aesthetics and price.
it's a zombiefied brand that's feeding on the ignorance of the youth. mostly the black youth of america
