I know the feeling you have. Got clowned for having on showed that weren’t ‘cool’. It wasn’t right…but that’s life. Music and fashion will forever be the currency that gets traded among grade school-aged kids. I know it’s hard, but drown out that noise because when it really counts, no one will remember the shoes you had on in junior high or high school. (I also know that what was said just now is most likely of no comfort to you…Nike Dunks are relatively reasonable in price. The solid colors are usually cheaper…)best of luck with everything. Seriously…drown out the ones that clown you.
