They may not remember the last day they worked for a wage, but they can afford these sneakers.

I like them but would only buy them on Amazon since I totally know my size. I have neutral/cupcake feet, size 8.

I can't begin to understand the need to have "a shoe".

Every two years I buy a $30 pair of LA Gear or Reebok sneakers for walking and I'm done.

What they do is buy them (or steal them), hold on to them for a few weeks until they are sold out, and then start selling them online for a higher price. Scalping, I guess you’d call it. Like concert tickets.

Also, today, a fight broke out at a Foot Locker in Madison, Wisconsin. Over Air Jordan shoes.

Two shot and injured this morning at the Foot Locker in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Over Air Jordan shoes.

Purely coincidence.

“The Kids Footlocker location selling the girls shoes, which have a retail price of $140...”

Riots over $140 CHILDREN’S shoes.

You’d think we were in Biafra fighting over the last bag of rice.
