Must we be so Uppity!!!

I have always admired the sneaker and streetwear culture as a whole. Now that I'm actually having more networking experience in the culture it amazes how snobby people are when it comes to sneakers and streetwear. I mean what are we really being uppity over some sneakers and tees?!? Some of these people at these boutiques wanna stare you up and down and look at you like why are you in here and really why I'm there is to buy some sneakers duh!!! Then you have these people who work or own these shops complain about how hype the whole culture is getting and claiming to be real when there shop is located in the land of hype(Soho and L.E.S.) Who are you fooling? Your feeding into it and you know exactly what your doing. The way some of these people come off its like being at a country club. If you don't have the latest SB or you didn't spend 100 and up on a pair of kicks or didn't buy the most exclusive hoodie you ain't nothing. I thought this whole industry was about wearing what you feel and having fun with it. If I wanted to be judged, I would have entered myself in a beauty pageant!! Cause while you sitting there and judging people and telling people what they should be wearing, Footlocker, Finish Line and Major athletic stores are taking your money. Here is a suggestion for all the people who own and work at these exclusive boutiques take the stick out and relax!!!
