• Collecting Supreme is no better than stamp collecting, especially when all anyone cares about is a logo or something that sat on shelves until a celebrity wore it (Thunderbird, Twill Pullover). Its not that cool just because you're wearing a purple or Bape bogo, or you fell for the scam that is the supreme reselling game and paid about 1k on a North Face jacket (lol, not even great quality either, coulda bought a Canada Goose or something way better).
• Jordan 1s are the only J's that actually look good enough to wear outside of a basketball court (with exceptions of only a few colorways of non-1 models, but not many). Paying hundreds of dollars (or getting shot, unfortunately) to wear ugly, Chinese-made, overrated sneakers with your denim joggers and side-zip hoodies is dumb, and you look stupid doing it. Funny thing is, if most rare sneakers had a general release, they probably wouldn't command anywhere as much demand and sales for them, and people would realize that they don't actually look good either.
• Defending companies to death for small reasons (informed criticisms, clothing/sneaker replications, etc.) is stupid, the majority of them see you as a single customer out of thousands/millions that they could do without anyway. That being said too many people here defend or uphold brands based on their names, whether they release good quality items or hot shit with a high fashion name and a high price tag.
•On the same note, don't buy high fashion shit if it doesn't fit into your wardrobe (perfect example is the infamous Tech Runners with Joggers guy). We get it, you're unique for knowing who Raf Simons and Yohji Yamamoto are (even though you've never seen an Archive Raf piece before and you actually think Yohji really has anything to do with Y-3 other than cashing Adidas checks...). Don't force it either by buying cheap imitations from Asos/H&M and pairing it with other hyped up goods.
