Black Owl Posted December 21, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 21, 2012 All this talk about a depressed economy and yet folks are lined up two deep outside the Foot Locker store at the Sprawl of America just to get a raffle ticket to be allowed to spend $1,800.00 for a pair of Nike sneakers????????? :bang head: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meach Posted December 21, 2012 Share #4 Posted December 21, 2012 buying/selling/trading these sneakers are evidently a big thing with some folks, may have cost a 14 yr old his life unfortunately. Not sure I would have ever thought sneakers would be worth $2000 when probably cost a few $ to make. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/cops-explore-shoe-game-motive-teens-death/nTcM7/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigLenny Posted December 21, 2012 Share #6 Posted December 21, 2012 Have you driven by a casino lately? It's hard to believe we're in a GREAT DEPRESSION while looking at casino parking lots that are so full you can't find a place to park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnightventure Posted December 21, 2012 Share #8 Posted December 21, 2012 I wear Nikes to play basketball. I have also read a pretty big book on how they got started. That part is pretty neat really but they were one of the first manufacturers to go to Asia for manufacture. The company that they taught how to manufacture their shoes is now one of their biggest competitors. I try to buy my shoes on clearance at one of their outlet stores. With my size 13 4E feet I am usually successful. I bet they don't have 20 dollars in every 140 dollar pair they sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
