"You mentioned off camera you entered a few raffles before"
Reason why replicas are getting popular
A 16-year-old was arrested for this killing. Insane out here for clout, and at 16, and Nike don't give a damn about this type thing in regards to scarcity on releases. Frenzy is what they want, and this is the cost too. F Nike and the shooter. RiP Jayren Bradford.
Nike just needs to make more shoes and do pre orders enough with these draws
As a little kid, it was weird to me that pride would be one of the 7 deadly sins. It was always preached to have pride in yourself/your people and what you stand for/represent. As I've gotten older I start to see why. Being too prideful can lead you to think it's you against the world, and you have to protect it from anything that defies it. Pride shouldn't be something you need to protect, it should be something you hold yourself up to and believe in. The killer was a wuss - so insecure about himself that he went and did something so stupid over a little incident just to protect his pride/ego.
Keep making products limited, timed, and exclusive
People have been getting killed over shoes since the early 90s. This isn’t nothing new.
It’s clearly the sneaker companies fault they know what exclusive sneakers does to the community. Nike and adidas need to stop making limited pairs of sneakers and mass produce the sneakers
Shoes ain’t never that serious
You can tell that these people in the video are super young. People in the 90s were getting their heads blown off daily for Jordan’s.
It wasn’t over shoes it was over pride.
Great piece of journalism
First time im hearing about this, this saddens me RIP
That just crazy
This is why I want to start buying shoes and clothes online ain't no telling what people will do over materials
now they boutta backdoor ALL the pairs lmao
Rip Jayden. People are truly evil and ignorant.
What system should the shoe companies do ?
That is why I quit collecting sneakers... 😔🤷🏻♂️
People are just sore losers man. They don’t know how to take an L or a NO. God rest his soul🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽RIP Jayden
