I gotta take a minute to reflect on what happened this past Saturday. Fresh and myself were both set to each grab a pair of the Nike x Livestrong x Futura dunks for Huf S.F. However we both decided to pass due to our utter disgust of that store's greed. The shoe which has a box price of $150 was released for the purpose of charity, all profits go towards Lance Armstrong's Livestrong cancer foundation. But helping people wasn't Huf's concern for they raised the price 1 day before the release to $250 just so they could make some extra ends. I love the design of that shoe and it was such a bonus to be able to contribute to that foundation because I've lost a loved one to cancer but there was no way that Fresh and I were gonna help Huf disrespect a good cause and line their pockets. Of course the shoes sold out anyway and a part of me does regret not copping, but a bigger part of me is satisfied with my decision to leave that line. Was that acceptable or am I just getting too old for the shoe game? Either way I've decided to chill on purchasing from Huf and am gonna jump on the Darkside Initiative bandwagon.
End rant......
