Originality

Today I saw a kid wearing a pair of dunks I sought after for months and was finally able to acquire only a few months ago.  This isn't the only time this has happened, on numerous occasions I have seen other people wearing the same shoes I have and frankly its kind of annoying.  For me, I don't like to buy or wear the same thing that other people already have, it feels like I'm copying their style or "swag" so I am just unable to understand why other people do it.  Just saying.
