@@anishadasadhikary9505 hypebeasts and resellers have killed the true culture of self expression and wearing what you like. Can’t even get a pair of shoes I want anymore. And I’m definitely not gonna pay these exaggerated prices.
I just think that it’s crazy how we put so much value into materials, items, clothes, and shoes that are just going to fade with time. And it’s even worse when you consider the fact 2/3 of the world doesn’t even have running water. Meanwhile, we have people standing in line for $600 sneakers. Out of sight out of mind I guess, right? 🤷🏽♂️
Somewhat I understand them as a former sneakerhead. I still remember the feeling of getting the shoes you wanted to buy for years. When I quit socia media (for different reasons) I realized I'm just fooling myself, the main point of collecting these expensive but almost useless items are for clout. For attention, pride, greed. Conspicuous consumption, the fact that 90% of my online friends can't afford the shoes I was able to buy before, it felt really good. Fast forward, without my social media no one pays attention anymore. I had 86pairs, 42pairs of them are hyped (Yeezys, Jordan 1, human nature etc..) I sold each and every shoes I owned it took me a year and half. Worst part is, I only get 60% of the money I spent for it because it lost its hype. So yeah, it was a bad habit and will never buy another expensive shoes again. I have one pair for everything Vans Tripple White for 60bucks.
The disrespect to say Kanye started his career as a producer on Blueprint as if he wasnt an established producer before that hence WHY jay asked him for beats

@@polong99 you can buy brand shoes without paying brand prices. i just bought me a pair of Adidas ZX 2k boost for $75. After a 50 percent discount. Theyre originally $150. Dont let the hype and brand control you. You control the brand. You probably just go after hype shoes. Your thinking is wrong. Go with what YOU like. Not what the hype shoe culture tells you what to like. Think for yourself. You control the shoe market, don't let it control you. You just need to wisen up cause if not youre just a corporate puppet.
@@polong99Lol. No. Quality matters for a fair price. Btw, Payless is also a brand (since you seem to think it isnt lol)but their shoes aint giving you quality. A Yeezy foam runner that cost $2 dollars to produce and resells for $400 is corporate brainwashing. You see the difference or do you want to stay ignorant? You're obviously just a hypebeast trying to justify paying $500 for shoes. Your arguments are lacking bruh. Me buying a shoe that i know provides that quality and the tech for a fair price isnt about branding, its about buying smart. You guys pay for the hype. Keep paying for your artificially priced shoes. If all you got from what i wrote is "so branding still matters to you" doy, doy! than youre the reason the resell market is keeping you as a puppet.
Yeah granted. But does that mean I can't make alot of money off hypebeasts. I'm not the type. But clearly there's a huge market. So why not capatalize?
@@sunnysunshine6271 well i hope the one thing you took away from this video is the definition of hypebeast as "about representing the story behind each item" from the first part of the video.

I think flexing and clout are the main problems of hypebeast culture. Lots of people have a hobby of collect things like figurines, cards, comics, baseballs, etc., but usually in those hobbies people don't intentionally buy things that they dont like because of hype or to go out and flex on people. Hypebeast culture WANTS you to buy things you don't want, and buy things that are expensive because of hype and not quality. I think people should focus more on what THEY like, rather than being told by friends, famous people, or corporations what to like, because those kinds of purchases ultimately end in regret.
That black chick crying because she had enough money to buy a Hermes bag is pretty sad lol. To allow marketing to dictate your self-worth, and to actually believe owning such a simple object makes you better somehow, rather than use that money for one's family or community. It's insane. Such low self-esteem.

Personally I buy Air Jordans to wear them, not to impress girls or anyone else, but to feed the fan in me. I grew up watching MJ play & wanting his shoes but couldn’t afford them then. Now I could, but these hypebeasts made it just as difficult to get them at retail prices.
I like em too but they trash material everybody has em they hard to get cost twice as much twenty year old tech most faked shoe on planet way too many cons for me to even want a pair nowadays like I wore em when he actually played that's good enough for me
@@nikoenciso01 good for you that you actually got to wear them while MJ played in them. Like I said, I couldn't afford them then. I wasn't the type of kid who'd bug my parents to buy me one either. So I buy them now coz I could, even if they are like mere representations of what MJ worn. I'm very picky, though. i don't buy those collabs at all. Never liked em & couldn't understand the hype. I stick with the OG colorways, and get only those with good craftsmanship. It's why I am yet to own an AJ13 even if I want one, because the materials are just bad. At least some 11s & 12s are made of very good leather.
purses jewelry and cars are NOT investments those are called justifications lmao. they only increase in value id they are unique truly collectors items that are usually above 100k in terms of jewelry, and diff prices for the bags and cars. please just put that 10 or 20k into actual investments like stocks or land.
there is a level where you flex different. the people they marketing this make it super luxury but the people they work in factory that provide this hypebeast product get paid peanut 2dollar a day, the richer want their profit while the poor worker providing this product,
America''s emergent hyper-trends are propagating a hyper-personalized super-prospector collector culture ranking so close to the 2008 real estate valuation. I wonder if the obsession or addiction to gambling and artificial rarefication of common commodities could be creating bubbles that go bust
So far I just find it interested that sam sheffer is in this. I just know him as a RUclipsr who worked out of the same building as Casey Neistat. Didn't know he was such a hype beast 🤷
Streetwear in general started from poor families making do with what they have and making it look good...but now streetwear is a luxury life style for some reason? And kids are getting the wrong influence and message when you wear street wear and especially the ones that dont know how to dress wearing thousands of dollars of clothing its a really unfortunate time to living the way you feel because now most people want to be different when youre just a normie.
I have wanted Supreme and Yeezys forever, but I refuse to spend insane amounts of money on them, so I would be that customer they would get if they were less scarce 🤷♂️
@@wheresmyrooptoff4056 this man over talkin like Kanye is the one reselling lmfao. When he’s the one that wants to make the sneakers available for everyone. Example: chuck Taylor’s and Vans.
@@luiss4002 Oh yes, that is certainly his goal! Why else do you think the cheapest models start at $250? It's very easy to be a blind fanboy sheep and not be able to guess that the goal is obvious: more sales - more profit. The problem is that he and some of his fans are not so smart to predict that everything is hype and that their popularity is built only on scarcity.
I bought a pair of Jordan retro 1 5 days ago on StockX and the status on my order hasn't change from "waiting for seller to ship" I Think goat is better just because they already have their own death stock to ship to their consumers...
In the end it's not what you wear. Hype things don't elevate you, it's just in your mind. GRs and rare ones are of the same function. It's all business after all by the better minds.
Towards then end of the video 48:35 StockX co-founder essentially explains that they want to be the primary reseller of the goods and sell at market value... not everything should operate like the stock market.

@21:44 They said they never would never wear fakes but then proceed to say "great artists steal"??? Dude enjoy paying $1200 for a hoodie you bozo. lmao
how are you comparing basic part of designing new stuff with unauthentic items that r not intended to be creative
Don't be a marketing slave. Wake up people!
Uhhhhh. You’re so woke 🍆
I get that Apple's "BRAND" is top tier, but seriously, I use my Macbook Pro every day as a utility.
Can't compare something as useless as expensive clothes to something that is a real tool.
When you use your Hermes Bag to improve artificial intelligence - then we can talk.
100%, buying quality products is right but its about certain products, a lot of stuff is just crap with a name and extra digits on the cost
I don’t wear Jordan’s for girls like some people say. I just like them. They make me feel better about myself.
Exactly bro, it’s not about this hype. It’s about feeling comfortable in your own space and wearing what you want.
With all these documentaries, articles, expose’s etc on hypebeast and sneaker culture i can see in the next yr or two its gonna do a complete 180 and most of it will recede underground and the flexers will not have that respect they once had with traditional status symbols
cycles and whatnot. ;}
If I spent THAT MUCH money on *one piece of clothing* it would go in the VAULT 💰
(and it means I've lost my mind)
Birkin outperformed Bitcoin and gold combined now that’s impressive

wish the Nike SB Dunk would be available for the masses. well at least so us skaters can get a pair to skate in.
Geeks who have tried to turn young black americans hobby and passion into business, WTF is new 🆕
Black people are the blueprint.
12:18 WHAT ARE THOSE LMAO I had to guys 😅🤣
I used to flip band shirts for years and then the lifestyle of hypebeast and flipping got exhausting

Hypebeasts are pure cringe and shouldn't be on television
man. when even pink guy, who can barely speak English, says something is cringe... it must be true!
I like the shoes for how comfortable yezzy are, not for the hype
I can't believe she cried. WoW!!
Thanks. I learned there's a brand called Supreme.
If CNBC is reporting on it, you know the "culture" is dead. They like 20 years late on this story lmao
I really hope the culture is dead or getting close to it lol I want the bubble to burst. Smh hype beasts
To buy a Birken, the prerequisite is to buy stuff from the salesman so they can completely squeeze you dry before giving out the ultimate squeeze hahaha love these tools!!! 😂
I will always rock yeezys but I am just getting started with reselling supreme just because it’s good money and something to do
Poor people spend their hard earned money on stupid stuff to get validation from people they don't even know.
How to look tacky 101.
Funny part is all these items available on DHGATE for a fraction of the cost
Replica Sneakers Forever
Can you imagine this culture thriving during the pandemic..
Fukin Love It!
The following have conspired to make Hypebeast the cool thing:
*death of hipster through this culture getting absorbed by normies
(pls never come back),
*social media,
*wealth,
*reselling and other commercial dynamics.
Funny, Kanye goes on JRE saying money ain’t real yet sells a $700 sneaker
He doesn't sell a 700 dollar sneaker. Resale culture sells them for 700 dollars. Yeezys retail for like 220.00
Consumerism + brand-minded slave = rich companies
I like those make your own sneaker. That's more fun than just getting spme special sneskers.
Steve Jobs innovated the mobile and tech industries for good and spawned brands, companies and advance feature that will help our life's more convenient. You sell shoes, end of the conversation. Burnn🔥
It's the tulips story all over again.
Anyone else realized they said people have entered lotteries just to get in supreme but then showed a Vlone wristband at 13:44 ?🤔
Personally I buy Air Jordans to wear them, not to impress girls or anyone else, but to feed the fan in me. I grew up watching MJ play & wanting his shoes but couldn’t afford them then. Now I could, but these hypebeasts made it just as difficult to get them at retail prices.
I like em too but they trash material everybody has em they hard to get cost twice as much twenty year old tech most faked shoe on planet way too many cons for me to even want a pair nowadays like I wore em when he actually played that's good enough for me
@@nikoenciso01 good for you that you actually got to wear them while MJ played in them. Like I said, I couldn't afford them then. I wasn't the type of kid who'd bug my parents to buy me one either. So I buy them now coz I could, even if they are like mere representations of what MJ worn. I'm very picky, though. i don't buy those collabs at all. Never liked em & couldn't understand the hype. I stick with the OG colorways, and get only those with good craftsmanship. It's why I am yet to own an AJ13 even if I want one, because the materials are just bad. At least some 11s & 12s are made of very good leather.
I saw a supreme billboard in San Francisco a few weeks ago.
Investing and investing for collectors are two different things. These hypebeasts need to learn the difference
purses jewelry and cars are NOT investments those are called justifications lmao. they only increase in value id they are unique truly collectors items that are usually above 100k in terms of jewelry, and diff prices for the bags and cars. please just put that 10 or 20k into actual investments like stocks or land.
What do these people do for a living to afford such overpriced, sub-par products?
they live a poor man's life with a normal income
Waiting for Kanye East to come out with his own sneaker. ELEVATE 2.0
there is a level where you flex different. the people they marketing this make it super luxury but the people they work in factory that provide this hypebeast product get paid peanut 2dollar a day, the richer want their profit while the poor worker providing this product,
Love the longer video! More longer videos please
America''s emergent hyper-trends are propagating a hyper-personalized super-prospector collector culture ranking so close to the 2008 real estate valuation. I wonder if the obsession or addiction to gambling and artificial rarefication of common commodities could be creating bubbles that go bust
I really hope they are creating bubbles and end up bursting. Please God lmao
So far I just find it interested that sam sheffer is in this. I just know him as a RUclipsr who worked out of the same building as Casey Neistat. Didn't know he was such a hype beast 🤷
Streetwear in general started from poor families making do with what they have and making it look good...but now streetwear is a luxury life style for some reason? And kids are getting the wrong influence and message when you wear street wear and especially the ones that dont know how to dress wearing thousands of dollars of clothing its a really unfortunate time to living the way you feel because now most people want to be different when youre just a normie.
After watching this, I now lost faith in Humanity
Hey that’s me at 1:31 lol
I have wanted Supreme and Yeezys forever, but I refuse to spend insane amounts of money on them, so I would be that customer they would get if they were less scarce 🤷♂️
Buy some Clairose
I don't know why ppl always try and associate eBay with fakes. I use eBay all the time & only have got real stuff.
That new yeezy though are sheety af, looks like a dumpling, even kanye himself cant scam me to buy those lol
"scam" headass
@@wheresmyrooptoff4056 this man over talkin like Kanye is the one reselling lmfao. When he’s the one that wants to make the sneakers available for everyone. Example: chuck Taylor’s and Vans.
@@luiss4002 Oh yes, that is certainly his goal! Why else do you think the cheapest models start at $250? It's very easy to be a blind fanboy sheep and not be able to guess that the goal is obvious: more sales - more profit. The problem is that he and some of his fans are not so smart to predict that everything is hype and that their popularity is built only on scarcity.
We gonna forget he Called Him Self g0d? 😭🤣🤣
I bought a pair of Jordan retro 1 5 days ago on StockX and the status on my order hasn't change from "waiting for seller to ship"
I Think goat is better just because they already have their own death stock to ship to their consumers...
In the end it's not what you wear. Hype things don't elevate you, it's just in your mind. GRs and rare ones are of the same function. It's all business after all by the better minds.
Stockx plan or idea for future exclusive retail is genius. I love it
Towards then end of the video 48:35 StockX co-founder essentially explains that they want to be the primary reseller of the goods and sell at market value... not everything should operate like the stock market.
I think adidas has handled the yeezys shoe brand flawlessly.
