how is it that a black guy can stereo type a white guy and talk shit its ok but if the script was switched its racist? ignorant fucks thats like saying when the blue foams released and those people got stabbed it must of been black people stabbing white people
Igonorant posts above. ^^^^^ White people only resell^^^^ Lame as hell. I am white and I buy shoes to wear and collect. Been rocking J's since 1989. The shoe is a dope concept I dont know why people hating. I like the superman logo cause since I was a child I have considered MJ to be Superman.
i may be wrong but i bet majority of the black people there are the actual people who will wear the shoes, while the white peepz are the inconsiderate profit loving resellers.
lmao amen aint that the truth them white people is just standing in line to cop 2 pairs and resell basterds and the black folks is there for the love of jordan

LMAO this just goes to show that people will buy anything that has the jumpman logo on it. Even if its the ugliest pair of shoes known to man.

Its crazy how a shoes can command so much attention off of the name associated with it and quantity.........Glad to see the response for Isiah's cause though.. But personally this colorway is just not my style.
