From store closures and collabs dropping every week to coveted pairs re-releasing and sitting on shelves, people have claimed the sneaker market is dead. But is that really facts? Joe La Puma settles the debate.

@JLaPuma Faccctttsss Joe !! We have been around long enough to remember pretty much always being able to walk into a store and find the sneakers we wanted . The lines started forming when the culture grew so release dates and wrist bands became a thing . Then came collabs … 📈

@JLaPuma Crazy how this dude been in streetwear media for over a decade and still has no fucking clue how to put a fit together 😂😂😂

@JLaPuma Blame the niggificiation and wokism that destoryed Nike.

@JLaPuma

@JLaPuma And let’s be honest nothing good releases anymore. Everything is new colorways. Slap your logo on a shoe that’s been out for years. People are only on these lines to resell. And please stop adding On sneakers into any hype conversation because that’s just wrong.

@JLaPuma I mean when’s the podcast coming back that’s when the life will come back a Bit

@JLaPuma Sneaker culture is dying! And we only have these greedy ass corner ball resale shop owners and sneaker conventions for it! Imagine Going to these sneaker conventions with 50-60 pairs of one shoe yet you have no account with Jordan or Nike to have stock.

@JLaPuma Who da fook is this guy 😭

@JLaPuma I like this. I still buy retros if they’re under retail, but I’ve gotten a couple pairs of Aisics Novablast 5 and nothing even comes close to how comfortable those are. Excellent gym and daily shoes

@JLaPuma Dunne seen a sinking ship and jumped. Bring him back

@JLaPuma If working adults are struggling to get by. What makes you think the next generation is supposed to do.?
