I understand many of them may be from low-income households and live very rough lifestyles, so why would they value something that's so hard to keep clean and maintained?

What is you're favorite way to cook chicken?

I only fry chicken wings. For everything else I like it baked or grilled.

Because it helps them believe that despite being poor, they can still keep something nice clean and maintained.

I guess the same reason women obsess over purses, and many men with cars and sports memorabilia.

Guys, it actually does refer to urban youths here. It's not code for black people.

Sneaker culture is an urban youth thing crossing racial boundaries, and it doesn't really apply to suburban black kids (at least not in a generalizing way).

Because rare sneakers are worth big $$$$ and it makes you look like a baller if you're wearing a pair.

It's a status symbol. It shows that you have so much money that you can drop $600 on a pair of sneakers like its no big deal. Why do you think people buy yeezys? They're ugly as hell but they sell for over $1000.

Dates back 25-30 years.You'd have to understand the impact basketball has on their lives, how shoes fit in with the hip hop culture, the status of rocking these exclusive shoes worn by the GOAT

Exactly, purses and cars are status symbols, same can be said about shoes for urban youths.

Because it's not something exclusive to black kids.

When I was coaching the elementary school basketball team around my community (which was predominately hispanic and asian), almost every kid in my team was wearing Jordans and they would constantly brag how expensive their "kicks" were and would smack talk anyone wearing any other shoe brand.

grew up in Brooklyn and know exactly what you mean

It's not a black thing, idk if tc is implying that but it's literally something a lot of kids in cities obsessed over. I never understood the sneaker thing myself but it's definitely a real phenomenon

Other urban youth that have it more difficult in life made those Jordans. Walking in others suffering is a joy for some.
