>>22396396>Do you have a better theory?i think it's the same instinct which makes people buy brand-name watches and cars
lol there's a nigger who just turned on his subwoofer niggermusic while waiting for a friend to come out of the house, as i'm writing this
the niggers don't care about craftsmanship/aesthetics, atleast not the same way which made watches/cars "luxury" in the first place.
but the instinct to buy the specific brand as a status symbol is the same.
the fact that the product happens to be shoes is a more interesting question, but it could just be arbitrary.
