The soles of my generation
“Suckers.”
Goddamnit, let’s get this straight: There isn’t a pair of sneakers in the world that’s worth two hundred and thirty dollars, no matter whose name is on them. There just isn’t. “What the market will bear” be damned.
Jordan in a Nike press release:
I’m honored and humbled by the AIR JORDAN franchise’s loyal following after all these years. The release of this shoe is exciting and a dream come true for me.
Must…remain…calm…
Amazingly enough, there are sneakers so stratospherically priced that they make Air Jordans look like street-sold knockoffs.
There really are two Americas: one inhabited by fools, and the other filled with the money from which they are parted.

And I’ll bet you all of my economic stimulus rebate check those sneakers are made in China or a similar low-wage country.
I’m not taking that bet! Besides, I need my stimulus for beer and hos.
Just kidding. About the hos.
Well, I see that joke went over like a flamethrower putting on a show at grandma’s oxygen tent. LOL.
If I had actually set out to offend many people in a short span of time with minimal effort, I don’t think I could have found a better way.
It’s good to do stupid things now and again. Better than a high colonic for clearing out your system.
