fuck Michael Jordan
& its not just Michael Jordan...its a lot of people and companies but I figured MJ would catch your attention
Anyway this dude puts out sneakers year after year and every now and then sometimes the releases are so anticipated that people kill each other over them
The crazy shit is that these sneakers cost like $10 to make and retail for $200+
You could argue that it isn't Jordan's fault because all he's doing is putting out a product and its the people's fault for acting like savages over it
But Jordan releases a LIMITED AMOUNT every time. Its a marketing technique.
If you over saturate the market by putting out 10,000,000 pairs of Jordans, the hype will die down. There won't be lines of people camping out because they could still get it the next day.
But if you release 500,000 pairs the hype will never die down and there will always be people camping out.
How many times have people gotten shot/killed over Jordans?
How many times has Jordan came out and said something about it?
Ya'll remember when Stephon Marbury dropped the Starburys? Those sneakers were like $10-$15 and when they asked him what the deal was he said some shit like "At least people aren't killing each other over my sneakers"
I never wanted a pair of Jordans since then. True story. & This goes with any product in high demand where only limited quantities are pushed out. But the Jordan craze seems to get outta hand more than any other craze. I copped a PS4 and the line and just the entire process was smooth as fuck

Nahhh. Jordan makes some fire ass kicks
but I tell people all the time... You think Jordan gives a fuck about you? lol
This dude is probably sitting at a roundtable with 40-50 year old white men laughing his ass off at the african americans and hispanics acting like savages over his kicks. Cuz lets keep it 100. Its the black community and the hispanics that kill each other over these joints.
A lot of powerful black figures like MJ & Jay-Z start off as humble figures that are about the people. When they get money they feel they transcended their own races and instead view the divisions in our society by wealth. The color lines are gone for niggas like them. All they see is the money
& If shit hits the fan all the Jay-Z and Jordan groupies will be disappointed when they find out jordan and jay-z were only rackin up this money to save themselves and their families and not the people

The major distributers are equally as guilty….. WALMART. I do agree that marketing schemes of limiting production to increase value is classic capitalism on MJ's part, but he is lower on the totem pole than the distributers….. Think De Beers diamond monopoly been doing that scheme for years.
I also agree 100% that $$ often goes to peoples' heads and makes them forget the communities they could be helping.
