I would not. However, the amount of pigment in one''s skin will directly correlate with who ends up buying these sneakers.

Trying to find a pic...but to my memory those shoes kinda look like the ones that were on Married With Children. Al was in a commercial promoting a new shoe called ZEUS. He was in it and was getting drilled by Sugar Ray Leonard and other famous sports figures.

Nope. The most expensive shoes I own were right around $100. Not too bad, IMO. Most of my shoes are from Target or the like and cost $30 or less.

No. If I was a billionaire, however, I'd buy 20 pairs.

Yeah, it's his fault that people will kill other people over shoes.

It depends on what comes with them ( or in them or...on them).

i bought a pair of Nike running shoes that cost about $130 a few weeks ago. I had a $100 gift card for my birthday and an extra $20 off coupon, though. If I wasn't saving that much then I wouldn't have bought them. Expensive shoes are incredibly overrated, IMO.

The last 5 pairs of shoes I've purchased have been K-Swiss. I've not spent over $80 on any of the pair(s).

Call me gay, call me cheap...but they're inexpensive, stylish and not Jordache. So GFYs if you judge my K-Swiss'. I've been buying them for years.

I'm pretty sure that would be Nike.

I've heard these have some kind of new technology? Regardless....$315 is retarded. The DRose Adizero's are the hottest bball shoe out now anyway.

The most I've ever paid for a shoe was $90 for the Nike Air More Uptempo Olympic edition Scottie Pippen's that I bought earlier this summer. Of course, that was for only one of them. The other shoe was also $90.

So I'd probably max out at around $199. I'm not paying any more than that unless I have one million dollars in my checking account. $315 is outrageous, but, if you got the money, go for it.

This is what I do too, usually spend between $40 and $60 per pair. I get a new pair about yearly, so I think I do pretty well

Are you guys even reading the article? The fucking shoes have motion sensors in them. Think of Nike+ on steroids.

Still stupid though.
