most dudes didn't get the money to actually afford Jordans until they "matured" and got a job of their own and could justify the expense.

meanwhile, "adult" me is supposed to not rock Jordans (which I don't) and pick up some brown leather square toed loafers for like $600 to be "grown up"? And walk to work made blocks and avenues every day? Was I supposed to outgrow my intelligence too?

nah bruh, and I aint even from NYC but to each their own.
