# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning the kid was feeling happy and proud, and he also felt so confident

# data[].attributes.body
The music was happier and more upbeat. He was happy to get his first expensive pair of shoes. He felt happier, he felt like he mattered. It made him "better" then everyone else at his school. He was very proud. He felt like the real thing.

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning he was ecstatic to have these shoes that control how cool he is in school

# data[].attributes.body
in the start he was verry proud and he thought that the shoes made him who he was

# data[].attributes.body
Then in the middle he was feeling a bit less confident, and was feeling a bit down also because he kept comparing  his shoes to others.
And was considering his choices because of his friends brother

# data[].attributes.body
He was happy he got these new shoes and he was cool.

# data[].attributes.body
once the story starts to progress he begins to realise that he is a person and an indivigel that shoes do not difine you

# data[].attributes.body
When the murder happened he wanted to get rid of the shoes or at least not wear them anymore. they didnt mean as much yet at the same time they did, they were apart of him. they help(ed) define him. or so he thought.

# data[].attributes.body
After his friends brother dies because of his choice of shoes he starts second guessing himself , if he should be wearing those shoes as proudly as he had been.

# data[].attributes.body
In the middle after the murder he was starting to doubt the shoes cause they affect if he lives or dies

# data[].attributes.body
He was wondering does he really need these shoes to be cool he was finding out that he does not need shoes to be cool.

# data[].attributes.body
He realizes that his shoes are the only thing making him noticed. People get jealous. After the murder the music starts to go deeper and the kid starts to realize what these expensive shoes are doing

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning he thought the shoes made him cool and also thought they improved his basketball skills even though they are just shoes.e

# data[].attributes.body
somebody got the same par of shoes as him and he got upset and is now down on himself

# data[].attributes.body
In the end he realizes that he was letting shoes control who he was, and his power, only to realize they are just shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
The shoes was making him happy so at first it seemed like it was a good thing.

# data[].attributes.body
He loved the shoes. They made him feel like a pro. They changed his life. He felt good and cool.

# data[].attributes.body
In the middle of the song he realized that people are getting murdered for their shoes and starts to realize that they are just shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
This is external and internal conflict, because its controlling his identity, and what he wears. The conflict is, that he was letting society judge him by what shoes he wears.

# data[].attributes.body
in the end he realised that they were controling and he wanted to let go but he was too conflicted untill he realised enouph is enouph

# data[].attributes.body
He didn't really need the shoes and its okay to not have the best shoes.And you don't need the best things to have friends and who cares what other people think.

# data[].attributes.body
In the end he realized that he did not wanna be that person anymore that he wanted to escape the person society made him out to be.

# data[].attributes.body
as he was going home from school a group of three guys stole his shoes from off of his feet and then he got another pair out from under his bed

# data[].attributes.body
In the begging he was happy that he got new shoes and could touch the net. He was also confident because at school he stood out and was the only one able to afford he shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
In the end he realizes that shoes nearly got him killed whenever he was mugged and basically gives up on them

# data[].attributes.body
He started realizing that the shoes where starting to control him.

# data[].attributes.body
He keeps saying in the beginning that all he wanted to was be cool, and also fit in.

# data[].attributes.body
He doesn't want to be defined by his shoes. He wants to take them off. He has realized what these shoes are doing to himself and others. He learns about the consumerism that is taking place. Bullies towards the end of the music video take his shoes and backpack. It just shoes how much the shoes have an impact on others.

# data[].attributes.body
he was happy that he could be like the cool kids and has expensive and nice shoes that "define him" as a cool kid.

# data[].attributes.body
He realizes that he has relied so much on the shoes that he has lost all control over who he is, how he is defiend. he let the shoes control/define his identity

# data[].attributes.body
The possible theme could be about not letting society control how you act nor how you look.

# data[].attributes.body
That he does not need to care what other people think.He was thinking that people care what shoes he wears when you don't need to care but society is so bad that a lot of people think that way and its true.

# data[].attributes.body
he was leting people judge him on his shoes and not who he was it was in ternal and ecternel external is man vs socity

# data[].attributes.body
When the lyrics said that carlos's brother was killed for his fours the song changed from him loving the shoes to him noticing they are changing him in a negative way. Also the tune was more negative.

# data[].attributes.body
In the end he realized shoes really wasn't that important.

# data[].attributes.body
In the middle of the video it showed that some kid had the same pair of shoes. When he saw that it didn't make him as confident and was a little sad that he wasn't the only special person.

# data[].attributes.body
The conflict was internal because he let his shoes define who he was how he saw himself he rearranged himself to be what society wanted him to be .

# data[].attributes.body
In the end he realized that they were just shoes and understood that he wore them just to be cool.

# data[].attributes.body
The conflict is Man vs. Society (External). Him wearing the shoes seaming makes him better then everyone else and it was the only thing the seemingly did that. If he did not have the shoes people would just think he is just a random person. Some people would laugh at that fact. Society is putting the thought in the boys head that you need these expensive shoes to become somebody.

# data[].attributes.body
a posable theme is to not placate and let outher people judege u like that and to brush it off

# data[].attributes.body
He is having internal conflict with himself. He does not want to be "lame" but at the same time the shoes mean something different to him, he cant let them go because it will rank him down he will lose who he is if he lets them go. "im lost if it pops" hes referring to the air bubble in the shoes but also what would happen if he actually lets them go, hes lost.

# data[].attributes.body
as he noticed people with the same shoes,he felt that his were not as special and that he shouldn't count himself as cool anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
There is two conflicts there is man vs. self because he cant control himself from buying expensive shoes and man vs. society because he wants to be cool and this is how you be cool by wearing expensive and cool looking shoes

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the conflict id man vs. self because he loves the brand new shoes that he got and then started bragging about his shoes and i think that it hurt him really bad on the inside because the shoes got stolen.

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of the story he was super sad. He was sad because every one had the shoes. Later on in the video you can also see that someone took his shoes and backpack. He's not as special.

# data[].attributes.body
The conflict is man vs society. He followed society and wore expensive shoes to be cool but in the end he realized that you should be yourself and not have to wear expensive shoes to be "cool".

# data[].attributes.body
during the middle he was saying he was part of a movement and an individual.

# data[].attributes.body
It is kinda both internal and external  the internal is being cool and paying whatever it takes and thats where external comes in he almost ended up paying with his life over shoes

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is to never live the way society forms you out to be you do not have to be that person to be a exceptable person.

# data[].attributes.body
He understands that these shoes are controlling him and when they are stolen he feels like he has no worth.

# data[].attributes.body
"And then my friend carlos' brother got murdered for his fours, woah."
"We want what we cant have, commodity makes us want it."
As in the society makes us want what we cant have, which makes us feel bad.

# data[].attributes.body
some evadince would be how many times the laces were mentiond he stated that the laces were strangleing him so that could be evadince for man vs self and his problem letting go of things and not feeling so abliged by the shoes

# data[].attributes.body
The theme could be dont let other people control you listen to yourself and dont care about what other people think.

# data[].attributes.body
The Theme I would say would be, do not let society control you or your actions. You do not have to live up to their standards and you can be yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
A possible theme is that you shouldn't allow society to control you

# data[].attributes.body
To not care what other people think and be yourself and not what society wants you to be just be who you wanna be.

# data[].attributes.body
The conflict is man vs self and man vs society. He fights himself with the shoes controlling his life. The popularity he feels when he gets these shoes goes with man vs society because popularity is something we all want and sometimes you will do anything to get it.

# data[].attributes.body
In the end he talks about how he understands that its just another pair of shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
" these nike's help me define me,but i'm trying to take mine,off" this evidence shows that hes finally done caring what other people think and hes trying to escape it.

# data[].attributes.body
he realizes that they are just shoes and that they cant define him anymore as a cool kid and should just be himself cause hes perfect that way

# data[].attributes.body
"What I wore, this is the source of my youth

This dream that they sold to you

For a hundred dollars and some change

Consumption is in the veins

And now I see it's just another pair of shoes"
He realizes that the shoes are just shoes and that he doesn't have to wear shoes to be cool.

# data[].attributes.body
The laces would be the best evidence for it, saying that the laces are strangling him. "Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk." Also when the person gets murdered it shows how much people would do for these shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
"Now i just see another pair of shoes." "These Nike's help define me ,but i'm just trying to take mine ,off."

# data[].attributes.body
The theme could possibly be
-Dont let material items define you
-Always know who you are/Know your identity

# data[].attributes.body
When he says he wanted to be cool and how no one could afford them that shows that he could be popular because of his shoes.
"A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in Look at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid."
"My friends couldn't afford 'em."

# data[].attributes.body
don't let people or objects control you or your personality.

# data[].attributes.body
the theme is that you should not let objects bring you down and let that effect your whole life

# data[].attributes.body
The conflict is both internal and external. It is internal because he is not believing in himself and thinks that nobody knows him and isn't special. The conflict is also external because he's judging himself off of other people and his opinions.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is be yourself don't let something external prove how cool you are let your personality shine

# data[].attributes.body
"And then my friend Carlos his brother got murdered for his spores". "I wanted to be cool I wanted to fit in".

# data[].attributes.body
"look at me look at me i'm a cool kid"

# data[].attributes.body
One possible theme is: don't let society or objects control your life.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is to live how you want and not how society wants. Don't judge yourself because your not better.

# data[].attributes.body
The lyrics said he felt so cool and he consumed them. He ell with them.

# data[].attributes.body
"Don't crease them leave them in the box""These nikes help define me""Look at me look at me i'm the cool kid"
