Why would anyone, particularly a bodybuilder, pay $250 for a pair of sneakers??

I don't get it. If he were a professional athlete within the Olympics running track or something similar, maybe then would it be justifiable to pay a higher price for sneakers, but $250?!?

i paid $190 for my adipowers. honestly how do you justify spending money on anything? computers, cars, clothes, jewelry, electronics, how much of what you buy is essential to your survival? people buy shit because they want it.

the better question is why the shit he paid $240 for a shoe that costs $175. he got ripped off.

If he is hard up for cash he should be selling foot massage, imagine a pro bodybuilder massaging your feet now that would make money.

Weightlifting shoes are expensive. True Olympic lifting shoes can't be worn for walking around the neighborhood. They are just made for lifting. They will last forever. Those crossfit shoes look like a hybrid type shoe more suited for general gym work than just Olympic lifting.

On a different topic have you seen the price of running shoes? They are all made in China by slave labor getting paid pennies and are then marked up to incredible prices by all the running shoe manufactures. All the good running shoes now are over $100 bucks. They last about  4 months of hard running. If I'm going to get ripped off on the price of running shoes I might as well buy made in the US running shoes by New Balance. At least American workers are getting the $150 I pay for my shoes.

Ugly-ass shoes right there.

So the guy's been wearing them around the house and now he's selling them online? Only a total schmoe master would consider such a purchase.

Also, did he but these online? Without trying them on? I think reeboks run narrow.

Lol every time I've seen Fouad I noticed he's wearing expensive shoes what gives. And I don't think he works either. Broke with wealth?  ???

He doesn't work but does have some kind of sponsorship deal. The plane tickets alone would put him in the poorhouse.

The pic says "Official FAN page". It's pretty obvious to me one of his fans is the creator of these publication and Fouad is probably doing great, specially after getting second place at the Europa Dallas show. How much did he get? $50000? $80000?

He has one inactive member on bb.com with "Fouad's Army" under his forum pic signature who features in some of the older threads in the IFBB forum. Probably is the author of that Facebook page.

Fouad is a guy who knows nobody, and who nobody knows.

Because the only thing bigger and hungrier than their drug fueled body is their Queen Mary sized ego.  It needs feeding and useless tripe like these shoes helps to carb it up.

I paid $335 for these Nike Air Zooms through a custom vendor in Hong Kong. They're discontinued and will not be on the market again. You can't put a price on a good shoe.

The problem is, his are ugly and still in stock.

Fouad is a guy who knows nobody, and who nobody knows.

Doesn't whore himself out and push a brand same like his colleagues. And he never dialed in as best he could either with a poor stage presence at that. Nevertheless , a huge guy in person.

Yeah that's not a critique on my part. A pro BBer who doesn't show up in the mainstream BB mags with powders and pills surrounded by lightning bolts and fake quotes is a guy I'll respect over the sellout artists like Ruhl and Heath.

But he'll never win anything, doesn't have Pro genetics. Would look awesome in a tank top at the gym, though.
