I smile. DG4 and Grandma both promote The Container Store.
I have bought so much stuff recently in regards to shoes, as well as Nike, OVO, and NOCTA apparel.
I'm out of control.

Gutter, the money in those containers could be spent on something more satisfying.

Very true!
Being that I didn't take 2 planned vacations these past 9 months that I had planed to take, I have used about half of that money and pissed it away.
Except...... Some of the shoes you see can be considered an investment.
I have sold about 10 pairs in the past 2 weeks in which I have profited considerably.

Those have your name written all over them!

These have my name written all over them despite being a bit too big....
I'm kind of surprised at the price. They could get a lot more.
Not sure why they are having a "buy it now" price and not an auction for them.

This is what the sneaker "game" has come to.....

We are at a million dollars right now. Of course it's for charity but a million plus for a pair of shoes - that I assume the winner/owner will never wear. Nuts!

* Edit....
TWO million plus right now.

Looks like they ruined a good, classic, iconic shoe to me.

[pdub]

Awful.

[Deleted User 289]

If you don't know the story behind them, then I would assume most people would think they are "awful" and a "ruined" classic shoe.
If you do know the story and watched the entire broadcast last night, as I said to some else that called them "ugly ass shit".....
If you don't already know, please take 30 seconds to learn what this is all about and if you can't find at least a little bit of beauty in it - then I sincerely feel bad for you.

This a a very brief synopsis of what they are all about.....

I would happily "donate" $1000 for the shoes.
I assume the person who bid over 2 million last night for their own personal pair will use their donation as a "write off" but I feel their gesture of giving the 2 million should be praised.

[TDub]

Look man, the stories great. They still ruined the shoe. I can think a shoe is ugly without being heartless regardleas of the cause.

They used the wrong canvas. You don't paint over picasso.

[Deleted User 89]

i’ll add to that, that if it is all about the cause then why don’t the people interested in the cause just donate out of the goodness of their hearts?

[pdub]

That is a powerful story and great cause.
But it's still an awful looking shoe.

[CrimsonNBlue]

I like the shoe. Hate the cause.

[PhDhawk]

I like the shoe. Hate the cause.

Mich?

The children are just internet deviants and malcontents and this cause just gives them more shoe company dollars.

[pdub]

Folks fungus facts.

This program has garnered $30 million.

When do I get some of that? The handout generation.
