Imagine doing weeks-long humiliation rituals just for the chance to buy limited edition shoes, only for there not to be enough stock and you walk away with nothing.
and they're fucking nikes
>>18535830Imagine being a grown man and not only still wearing children's shoes, but waiting in line to buy "limited edition" slop of them. At that same price he could have bought some hand made proper leather shoes/boots that are uniquely made for his feet and no one else's.https://youtu.be/lE7XWUQyH4A
>>18535830I’ve seen Adam Savage using those Nikes before.
>>18535864Does that mean they're raping blob approved?
>>18535830You'd have to be retarded to jump through that many hoops just to get to buy some plastic sweatshop made shoes. Are grown men really that stupid in 2025?
>>18535869>Are grown men really that stupid in 2025?Yes.
imagine doing months long humiliation rituals just for the chance to buy a watch. watchfags consider this a norm btw
>>18535890All luxury products are gay that sell exclusivity by creating artificial scarcity and making you feel like you're in some elite club for consooming a product. But at least watches have some craftsmanship and engineering in them. It's like owning a fantasy/steampunk device. Unlike sneakers, which are just plastic slop.https://youtu.be/ygAR3E0xoJQ
>>18535895>my consumerism is better than your consumerism
>>18535890Yeah it's kinda crazy that people still consider watches prestigious. When I heard all you have to go through to be allowed to buy a particular Rolex you want, I just think of them as a mark of shame. "I spent tons of money and wasted my time on shit I didn't want just to get this watch." I can't see it as a win.
>>18535910It's still gay to buy it for the "status" and "prestige" of being in a gay little exclusive club, but a mechanical watch is a much better made product than a plastic shoe literally cobbled together in a sweatshop by third world children.
>>18535926>better made productim putting jewels into my apple watch as we speak. my consumerism is definitely better than yours now since apple watch is better than mechanical watches
>>18535890I just buy a fake and get all the upside with none of the downside
>>18535943You're a retard if you think a plastic shoe or a mass manufactured smartwatch is the same as mechanical watch. You're the perfect kind of retarded undiscerning consoomer that corporations want.
>>18535875He's retarded. That being said, I don't remmember the last time I was that excited about anything.
>>18535963well why is a mechanical watch better than those two?
>>18535875He is so happy tho
>>18535830>glued sole nigger sneakersWhy the fuck would anyone wait for these?
>>18535973Cause most poor people cant even afford a good entry level mechanical watch.
>>18535844imagine being a grown man and still wearing footwear
>>18535830who buys nikes in 2025.???!!!!
>>18536130So you're the stupidest type of consumer, someone who will overpay exorbitant amounts for something he doesn't need just for irl attention and likes. At least the fake-hype shoe is still a functional shoe.
>>18536462It's his money you jealous commie nigger. Who the fuck are you to decide if he needs a mechanical watch or not?
>>18536473>my consumerism good your consumerism bad!>well my consumerism is better than yours because x!>REEEEE STOP CARING ABOUT HOW I SPEND MY MONEY OKAY!!!! IT'S MINE TO SPEND REEEEE!!!!are watchfags always this fragile?
>>18536533you btfo they.they aren’t getting it.The gears are turning but the watch sucks
>>18536533Again, why do you care if people buy a mechanical watch or not, jealous commie nigger? Who are you to decide whether people need a mechanical watch or not? And if can't understand the difference between a plastic slop shoe and a luxury item like a mechanical watch, then you're too retarded for this conversation.
>>18536549learn to write in english mr esl
>>18535895>watches have craftsmanship and engineering>jobs to a $10 quartz mall shitterlmao. Mechanicals are only liked by stupid people who think basic electronics are dark magic. Mass production of tuned quartz crystals is hundreds of times more impressive as any CNC guilloché that they bejizzled onto the movement.
if you're a civilian (non-sneakerhead) you wouldn't get it
>>18535864He got them for free just because he's "friends" with Tom Sachs.
>>18536473>It's his moneyHe clearly doesn't know how to use it, so it's up to us to step in and help.
I think it's kinda cute? Thought it was actually humiliating shit to do. More interesting than botted raffles or the "buy our lower tier shit to get a chance buy the good shit"
>>18538408The only way to get the shoes was to *never* miss a day in the app. I enjoyed watching Redditors whine about not being eligible for the shoes because they joined late.
>>18535844Those shoes look mega gay and cringe however. Do you put these on thinking people will take you more seriously?
>>18536454Dial back the ESL.
>>18538584>Those shoes look mega gay and cringe however.They are, but getting them at retail price to later flip them for triple, maybe quadruple, the return is based.
>>18538584Nobody wears boots to be taken seriously, sneakercuck. Stop projecting. People wear boots because they look good with certain outfits.
>>18539440sneaker reselling is much more popular than boot reselling (if such a thing exists) though
>>18535830>Tom Socks
>>18539469I assume you're responding to >>18539456.
>>18535830Anyone get the shoes?
>>18541003I did.
