    No, but my fiancée is Indian so at times I'm a Siamese twin with an Asian.

    lol that's an ignorant thing to say.

    Also, I wouldn't really say anybody 'celebrates' bhm. It's intended as a time to reflect on the past struggles and successes of the black Americans that faced so much adversity.

    I'd recommend you speak for yourself in the future rather than use your environment as the mean.

    Well said, but I think "adversity" is the word you're looking for vs diversity :) I'm not a crazy grammar person but thought your post was great and regardless knew what you meant.

    Beard's next good-looking shoe will be his first.

    These don't look good now, and they'll look even worse once there's 3 huge creases in the front after you walk/run in them.

    I like the shoe, but have never and would never use the term "straight fire" to express my desire to own them.

    Can I still buy?

    lololol yes, adversity. I was typing too fast. Hope that didn't detract from the message.

    In due time...

    Whenever a shoe is mostly a leather-type material above the toes, it will happen. It's physics. The best fabric is a soft one, like cotton. Softer materials bend better and look better longer.

    Car-seats and couches/chairs are similar. Leather will crack and show creases over time, while softer materials bend with ease. I promise you your friends' shoes already have a couple of small lines. They will get bigger.

    The leather shell is separate from the toe box

    Are we talking about the same shoe?

    Lillard's shoes can withstand time.

    *disclaimer - unless the white portion isn't "hard" like leather, vinyl, plastic, etc

    It sure looks leather-esk

    I see what you're saying. But they're not creasing after I've worn them the last 2 months. Very durable. Not like a cheap pair of overpriced nikes.

    Oh snappers!! Because similar Nike's is what I'm used to, at least earlier in life. I stopped buying similar looking toe shells long ago. I mainly mess with big bubble Air-Max on any sneaker. Big cushion and soft material. My feet gotta breathe! Right.

    IDKT, car-seats and couches crease-up much more over time than softer cloths. Maybe non-Nike shoes are better quality than most car-seats and couches.

    Haha, no worries! We've all done it before (I mean I know I have for sure) and I knew exactly what you meant originally so definitely didn't detract on my end, so I'm thinking anyone who read originally had to know too.

    And again, I'm not big into grammar so wasn't trying to be some Internet hero/jackass, just thought it was really good message.
