If you have to prove yourself to be a "cool" person by being $200 sneakers, here's an idea; Concentrate in school, get good grades, get a job or perhaps start your own business, earn your OWN money and buy these. It's all well and good that your parents or whoever can buy you these and you feel badass at school, but in the real word materialism isn't going to get you anywhere.

I never bought these shoes to be "cool". I don't need to spend money to fit in with a certain crowd. I bought them because I thought they were nice.

It's funny how you just assume I'm some teenage little boy that relies on my parents money lol. I bought these shoes with my own money and I'm out of school.

This. I've never bothered with spending a million on a whole suit, fuck some shoes. (But they do look nice)

When you buy a suit, you should actually buy a nice one, and if you can, get it tailored. If all you have is one nice suit, then you're still set to look good for job interviews and any formal functions you attend. Shit's important.

Well, then I apologize. It's just everyone who I have heard about wearing Jordans are still in school.

I had a family birthday party to attend too today. So I spontaneously went out, bought some all black Vans slip ons, back slim fit jeans, a belt and a nice dark purple shirt. All totalling £79 of my own money. I'm such a materialistic guy, and I'm only finaly finding the money to be able to fund this. Next up - tailored dark purple shirt, black jacket with purple lining.

I bought a Lebron 11 recently for 240$, I bought it cause I needed it for Basketball ( Help's in the stats of comfort,performance,cushion, and speed. )

It's not about buying expensive shoes, it's about buying shoes that you think will help you or look good on you.
