Mmm they ain't all that. Neither was the range he released 'cept for a few colours. I prefer the printed hi-tops Diesel did, much more fashion fwd and sumthin CBreezy wld wear.
Do you think that anyone who spends $600 for these shoes have any right to complain about misalignment of societal resources by the government which allows their people to suffer in inferior schools and want for health care?
It's not often that we are in agreement...anyone who spends $600 ON A PAIR OF SHOES, but can't make a rent payment or complains about having to hustle to make ends meet, or uses as an excuse for participating in illegal activities that "they got babies to feed" needs (in my opinion) to STFU and get their priorities straight.
For that matter anyone who spends $600 on a pair of high tops who ISN'T playing pro ball, but still has the nerve to complain about their taxes going up over Universal Health coverage also needs to STFU...in my opinion of course.
Conspicuous consumption is the bane of the black community. Everybody wants to look fly...but have little to nothing in the bank.
Well actually I agree with DMG, but disagree with CF. Buying $600 shoes with *private funds* is one thing does not diminish one's right to criticise the govt's misspending *public funds*. Whether $6 or $6billion the govt has misappropriated; it still has to be held accountable to its citizens regardless of an individual's private income or credit limit.
The skill set to compel someone to pay $600 for a pair of shoes is the operative point of the piece.
I find people who spend $44,000 for coronary artery bypass surgery far more silly than a 20 year old kid with $600 sneakers.
Are conspicuous consumers of clothes and cars any more ignorant than conspicuous consumers of GMO food and vaccines?
Really ....?
Is a 50 year old Corporate Negro with $212,000 squirreled away in a 401K any less of a conspicuous consumer than a 25 year old Thug with $212,000 worth of platinum and diamonds in his teeth?
"I find people who spend $44,000 for coronary artery bypass surgery far more silly than a 20 year old kid with $600 sneakers."

What SKILL is needed? You talk about enslaved mindsets and out of the other side of your mouth laud the "skill set" of compelling someone to buy $20 worth of leather(?) and plastic marked up 2,900%. It's apparent that you aren't dealing with an informed clientele.
Wrong again Doc. The linear limitations of your bourgeois education are becoming apparent.
The $600 Air Yeezy's are part of a larger commentary on the manufacture, distribution and consumption of memes.
What skills are needed? Design and sell a 'DMG Stethoscope' for $60,000 and find out.
No.
Make people WANT a DMG Stethoscope and find out.
I'm chuckling at the self-righteous hypocrisy as you disdain one silly consumerist convention while evangelically endorsing another silly consumerist convention.
Doc ... coronary bypass surgeries are a PRODUCT.
Not health care.
Just like Air Yeezy's are shoes ... not feet.
Ya'll sold over 500,000 of them last year for more than $44,000 a pop.
90% of those CONSUMERS ... will STILL DIE OF HEART DISEASE.
The doctors, patients and corporations participating in that charade aint no bit smarter or wiser or more prudent than any kid with diamonds in his teeth and no bank account.
Stethoscopes only run about $100 for a decent one and any physician shelling out $60k for one would be shunned as an idiot. Any physician designing one and marketing one isn't interested in medicine.
Coronary artery bypass grafting is not a product to be bought on a whim, like a pair of basketball shoes worn by someone...who probably has no intention of shooting hoops in them. Nobody walks into a surgeons office and requests to have a median sternotomy, cannulated, placed on bypass, then have their heart filleted open because chest scars are in fashion. I talk patients OUT of surgery if it's not medically necessary. The liability for entering someones thoracic cavity is not worth the financial gain.
Give it up...your stethoscope envy is wearing thin.

"Oh Shit! ... GMO Food Sterilizes People ... And It's Really A Form of Population Control?"
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

"In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill ... All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.
Greater Display of Conspicuous Consumption?

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"

*George Orwell (1903-1950) English novelist, critic
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness... If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear... The great enemy of clear language is insincerity... The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it... To see what is in front of one's nose requires a constant struggle... For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.
