Does any race own sneaker culture??

[AP2.5]

I found some shoes I had been eyeballing since i saw them like late last year, and one of the searches came up for a sneaker review video or something

I clicked it, and it was an asian and a white dude and I was kinda perplexed.

I know we as black people do not own shoe factories or have the marketing dollars to promote shoes, but we have our very unique sense of style that these companies dont mind using to market their shoes to certain demos of folks, BUT, do you think we, as black folks own sneaker culture?

video for reference

Before Jordan, sneakers were only used to play sports or do work in. Sneakers weren't meant to be fashionable.

nobody owns it but I hear what you're saying and yes, I do feel like we should "claim it" if that makes sense

but we dont control none of the shit we love to buy lol
