Why are all these people in these videos constantly highlighting that there are no/very few brick-&-mortar sneaker stores where they live? Didn’t internet shopping kind-of rendered such complaints next to obsolete by now? Or do they not get any type of parcel delivery services in their boonies..? 🤔🤔🤔

It’s the feeling bro I lived in Crosby and went to school with him. So me knowing Crosby there isn’t really much you gotta go 35 minutes west to get into town and get somewhere sure we had Amazon and usps and delivery services but it’s the feeling of going somewhere and being there in person. What’s fun about sitting at a computer and starring at the screen?

@@peytongrant4979 Sure, going to the store in person is more fun; I always got a kick out of visiting Adidas Originals in San Francisco and Berkeley in the early 2000’s, for example, and human interaction with the folk there really was cool. What was not cool is they never, or hardly ever, had my size - so as boring as finally building my shoe collection through the internet may have been, finally holding the coveted pairs in hand was still well worth it, even if it was minus the interaction in person.
