Totally agree with the "poor man's" comment. I hear that a lot on some of the team Jordan shoes. Like that one that looks a lot like a 7. But it's still by Jordan brand and is 150+. It's not a shoe I'd want but I don't get clowning someone for $100+ shoes

Yo shoutout to Chris, I always dig your reviews but I admit sometimes the "poor man's" label makes things so awkward between friends when talking about something like clothes and footwear. I mean the unions are expensive because of hype and resell but pricewise by Nike's retail they're actually about the same. $170 vs $190. Now they're thousands because of hypebeast not sneakerheads, there's a difference guys...
