individuals my ass, even the damn freeks all look alike these days. most kids these days don't know how to spell individual let alone be it. if you want to be original then get a job and pay for it that would be original. why the hell would you want to wear $200 dollar sneakers anyway.

Yea I know what you mean..He is a good kid just turned 13. He does have a job cutting lawns and next year will be a camp supervisor. I made him take his money and help pay for his Math tutor. Figured that would make him think about doing better next school year.
I can't understand what makes these things so great. Give me a pair of Converse and I was happy. Then again I had my Beatles boots, bell bottom pants and even a Neru shirt or two. But Holy Crap I popped a Gasket and got really pissed. With all the crap I am going through I did not need that thrown on me. He is not getting any and he will learn the reason why. I don't give a crap if he goes to school barefooted. |

Not to mention that 13 is right in the middle of
"THE GROWTH SPURT FROM HELL!!!!" Those shoes wont fit his big toe in 6 months! (They will be out of style by then anyway!) |

That last pair look brand new. How about since he is working you help him more with his education costs and then tell him if he wants designer shit he pays for it, you'll only buy the same grade of clothes you and his mother wear if he wants anything more he works it out.

Lemme tell you a story about athletic shoe companies.
Some of the Faculty at the school where I went came up with a new insole design for athletic shoes. The material wouldn't "bottom out" on impact--so it made for a much better shock absorbtion mechanism than was presently available. The shoe companies rejected it as costing too much. Additional cost PER PAIR of shoes was $.05. The faculty were told that a change that ranged from $.005 to $.01 (yes, a HALF a Cent to ONE Cent) would be considered, but anything more than that would be rejected. Those $200+ shoes cost the manufacturer less than $5.00 to make in China/Korea. You are paying $$$ for marketing, and profit for the Manufacturer/Wholesaler/Shoe Seller. AFARR |

These folks haven't been around much I see.
Why those are the Nike AutoSWISH's... They are self lacing and play BBall w/out human intervention, hence the hard-toe look. That's where the nuc reactor is that powers 'em. |

I have been letting him read the posts. I told him see it's not only me who thinks that is way to much money.
When he read the one about how much it costs to make it got him thinking. He is getting a good understanding of work and money. GSG9 that is exactly what is going to happen. Right now I am making him take the money and use it for his Math Tutor. Maybe this way he will try harder in Math and think it's not a joke. |
