Now they are $150. What happened. Pic related.
Due to the fact that we never take off our shoes, they're now a status symbol of wealth and power.
We needed better shoes so that we can bring them inside, shower, and sleep in them.
That's asics. Asics are like 50 bucks.
>>71695641
nigga have you ever been to an outlet? i can find Nike's that retail for $125.00 for $40.00
Niggers made them a social status symbol for men and it spread to all athletic shoes. Blame Nike, Michael Jordan and obviously dumb niggers.
Those are Asics matey, those are running shoes and running shoes can be pretty expensive.

>>71695816
Quality tier asics are now 150$. And that was at a sports chalet going out of business sale.
>>71695880

Pickup trucks used to be $20,000 in 2002, now they're $50,000. What happened?
>>71695986
Maybe at a DIII, faggot
You can still go to walmart if you want 20 dollar shoes
Theyre shit though.
Quality costs money faggot
>>71696151
please, i tried buying target shoes once, wore them out in 2 weeks.
>>71695641
well first you need to take that price and divide by three because QE and inflation. So logically, the question is why has the price of shoes doubled.
>>71696149
/fucking thread.
i got some God tier Nikes on my fit that I found at a donation center for free.
if you want luxury shit pay Nigger other wise shut the fuck up and just wear 15$ shoes
what kind of shoes are you buying for 150 bucks?
I do a shitload of running and I have flat feet so I buy pretty high-end shoes and they still total only ~120-130 bucks
if I wanted casual shoes they're like 60-80 bucks
>>71696094
This. All the outlet stores I've been to only have sizes 8-11 then 14, 15 and shitty swag colors. I bought a pair of white Nikes from ebay for $50. Fake? Used? I don't care.
>>71695641
I've paid $50-$60 for tennis shoes every time since I was in middle school over 15 years ago. There are shoe stores that only have expensive shoes but if you shop around you can still get a decent pair of Nikes or Adidas for a reasonable price.
>>71695641
It's not just the shoes either, you have to spend at least $300 on gold chains. You do save $10 on a belt though.
>tennis shoes
>>71695943
Get New Balance shoes. They're comfy as fuck, super durable and provide excellent support. Basically the best tennis shoes/sneakers on the market. And because of their association with white people, niggers won't touch them with a ten foot pole, so they've remained very affordable.
>>71695641
Bought some unknown brand at REI. Low profile hiking boots with non-slip and water proofing. Tennis shoes or sneakers will be worthless when the happening arrives.
>>71695641
Name brand bullshit.
They're all made in China anyways.
>>71696591
you can own both you autismal fuck
>>71695641
get new balances, and stop buying them at retarded outlets. You can get a really nice pair of NB's on sale for $30
>>71696542
What do you do, wear workboots everywhere you go?
>>71695641
i havent bougt running shoes in a few years since i don't actually run anymore. but i think you are showing one of the highest end ascics. the cumulus is what i used to use. and the nimbus was the other high end shoe from them. and yea they cost 150 a pair.
but ascics lower end stuff costs 50 bucks a pair. which is probably around 25 dollars to the 90s or late 80s.
also, unless you are actually mentally retarded, you should have known about this. so i hate you and think you are a giant faggot who wastes peoples time. i won't report you because i don't report people. but i hope everyone else reports you because you are a giant fucking faggot and this is obvious and has nothing to do with /pol/

>>71695641
You can easily find shoes for under $60
>>71696968
I'm an athlete I can't wear $50 asics. No support, little cushion. Quality shoes were never this expensive. Inflation is a bitch. I blame the Fed.
>>71697057
Good Nikes are still cheap in cities that have a low cost of living.
30 euro max for shoes is a fair price, ill never put more money on china product who cost 1 $ to make. Fuckin retailer

how old are you dude
Rest of the thread are you even trying?
My dad would out right refuse to buy ANY shoe over $20 dollars when I grew up. Said it would make me into a little bitch and a piece of shit to have anything nice. Born 1994.

do they light up when you walk?

Every pair of nikes I've ever owned fall apart if you wear them even semi regularly. Besides the brand name is there any semi redeeming quality to them?
Been wearing these for the last year, they seem built to last, merrell canteens
>>71697672
Nigger detected.
>>71695998
If you were trying to buy the Kayano, that's pretty much the top tier Asics shoe. You could get something less expensive for $100 or less.

This blows my mind. Living in Texas, practically every third vehicle is a truck.
They all drive like wannabe alphas, no turn signals, absolute morons. Only respectable pickup truck drivers are the ones that use them to actually, y'know, carry shit.
Fake pickup drivers are easily the worst thing about Texas, but it's nice otherwise.

there seems to be a flaw in the lame responses to Trumps plans for protecting Americans jobs .... its bullshit .. shit is already expensive... a C note for flimsy sneakers that fall apart in a year isn't a boon to the consumer as is the routine trope of greedy corporate shills.

You think all the mexican laborers wear boots all day at work just to show how manly they are? No. Back when I worked in retail it always used to amaze me that the same people who would berate me for wearing "uncomfortable" boots all day would also be the ones barely able to stand at the end of the day. Tennis shoes are great for brief periods of activity. Any prolonged activity requires a well-fitted pair of boots. And yes it is childish to wear tennis shoes all day.
>>71700577
I knew there were /pol/ /fa/ crossposters
>>71702780
I have. Can't run as fast, but then why do I need to run fast? If I am going running, I will put on tennis shoes. Otherwise I am wearing boots or leather dress shoes.

Fuck yea they are. My Keyano 20 were $120. They're still going after two years though. Best investment I made while in the military.

Converse all stars, a shoes known for being cheap and great have become $75 fashion shoes. Inflation and demand be damned.
They were $45 when I went to high school and they wore out after a year to the point I couldn't wear them.
Now I wear $150(bought a few for $35 on clearance) surplus steel toe combat boots for work and they last 2 years on average and low hiking shoes that cost $60 on sale and those last a year of intermittent wear and a yearly week long backpacking vacation. I would only wear converse if they were a gift or I had more money than sense.
You can buy a pair of tennis shoes from Walmart for like $15. They actually survive for about 6 months to.

Also, GOAT leather oil
>>71704517
nice I've always wanted to try some whites
also I sell red wings but most of my customers have them for years it could have been a defect and if it fell apart in a year thats under warranty
>>71704707
I took them in and got a full refund, but my ass was so chapped I swore them off. I had always heard rave reviews about them.
I live near Spokane, so I just walked into the store and tried them on.
I think I might have Nick's rebuild them to try out their style.
>>71704858
used to live in Bremerton for 5 years just got into boots used to be a huge merrils fan
also fun facts a leather hide costs about 150 bucks so if you want any decent quality you're looking around $150 for even decent Chinese boots

Yea I used to have a corked pair. They're top notch quality for sure.
I wear Keens t b h, they're cheap, last me a year or so and cost less than it takes to resole a pair of Whites/Danners/Hoffmans. Keens are comfy as fuck for people with wider feed.
These cost three times as much as my working boots.
