Only good thing about the Air Jordans are the resale value. You buy em for 200, can sell them for over 500 because of exclusivity, only 100 pairs across the country were released.

That girl with the gold teeth and chips is a dream for racists who love to play on stereotypes though.

This is not a race issue, nor it is a political issue....it is a testament to how clueless and some say dumbed down people are.

The incident in Seattle happened last night. Is this Houston thing from years past? I didn't look at the video timestamp.

You mean this crap happens every year? For shoes?!

And, what about those that pay $500-$600 bucks for Chinese Ipads made for $50 dollars. Are they also idiots?

Yeah and most likely in China no less. What a marketing scam. Do they stamp them out like coins and then throw away the mold? How people fall for this $hit is pathetic.
