# data[].attributes.body
I would say the conflict is internal conflict because hes so worried about what other people think of his shoes, and he worries about how cool he is. So by the end of the story his shoes were taken and that was all he needed to realize that what he wears does not define him.

# data[].attributes.body
this kid is buying all these shoes to just be a kid that has a lot of friends but all of his friends are dying for just a pair of shoes he just wanted to to fit in its's internal conflict

# data[].attributes.body
After a while he saw people wearing the same shoes and he wanted better ones and then he started to realize its not all about the shoes

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is External because he wants to look cool in front of other people and look good and stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
On his way home from school the kid got his bag and shoes stolen from some teens and then he realized that he doesn't need shoes to be cool. He just needs to be himself.

# data[].attributes.body
after getting his shoes stolen he realizes that he doesn't need cool shoes to ''fly'' or be cool

# data[].attributes.body
Conflict would be internal because hes so wrapped up about how cool he thinks he is and what people are going to think.

# data[].attributes.body
There is both internal and external in this one is internal (self vs self) because he is trying to fit in thin realizes that that is not the way to go. Another one is external (self vs society) when Carlos brother got murder for his four's.

# data[].attributes.body
The conflict is the shoes and how it made everyone feel cool especially the boy but turns out that they were just trouble to the point where there was greed.

# data[].attributes.body
"that air bubble ,that mesh the box , the smell , the stuffin ', the tread in school" the conflict in this paragraph is internal so far because of his habit it was like drugs he's addicted to the thrill of the air maxes

# data[].attributes.body
he thinks himself as the superior one when he should think he is equal don't think of other people as lower grade people

# data[].attributes.body
he realizes now that most people dream about stuff they cant get

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest theme for this is dont let peoples look and thoughts define who you are and and if something is important to you take care of it.

# data[].attributes.body
it would be internal because he was only thinking about how he looked and how he could be the coolest

# data[].attributes.body
Don't let people and other things define who you are.

# data[].attributes.body
He starts to realize that other kids are have the same pair of shoes. That he might be as cool as he thinks he is.

# data[].attributes.body
he now realizes that these shoes do not define who hi is they are just another pair of shoes he wears.

# data[].attributes.body
You have your own personality don't let the little things change you.

# data[].attributes.body
On hes way home he gets his stuff stolen his bag and his shoes and when he gets home he realizes that the shoes dont bring coolness.

# data[].attributes.body
the conflict is both because when he get's his shoes stolen is really sad and now hes pretty sad

# data[].attributes.body
Where it says "I was so cool... My friends couldn't afford them" that's when he was thinking that the shoes did define him and by the end of the song he says "And now I see it's just another pair of shoes". That's after hes gone through them getting stolen and that's him realizing that those shoes don't define him.

# data[].attributes.body
The conflict is internal: Man Vs. Self, he thinks these shoes define him and that he's so cool, but in the end a lot of people wear these shoes and that it's just another pair of shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the conflict is internal because he is like thinking that he is so cool and how no one can afford the shoes he has and how he can like "fly" and is the coolest of them all and the realizes how he doesn't need that to be cool.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is that don't let people define who you are be who you want to be.

# data[].attributes.body
you can't always get what you want

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Don't let your shoes define who you really are

# data[].attributes.body
your appearance doesn't matter its who you really are

# data[].attributes.body
You are what u are not what you want to be.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the conflict is internal because he tells himself that the if he wears the shoes hes cool and that they make him look better

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the theme is don't let anything define you because you are you.

# data[].attributes.body
the theme could be that no matter what you wear it does not define you for who you are

# data[].attributes.body
The conflict is internal because he thinks that the shoes make him cool and shows who he is but he notices that he was wrong. He's just trying to fit in.

# data[].attributes.body
He says my friends could not afford them so he was the only kid in school that had them and he look cool when he had the nike shoes

# data[].attributes.body
in the middle of the song the said he wants to reach for the farthest star the is telling you to create big goals for yourself

# data[].attributes.body
It said "Strangled by theses laces, laces I can barely talk, That's my air bubble and I'm lost, If it pops. We are what we wear, we are what we are".

# data[].attributes.body
he says ''if the air bubble pops he will never be the same'' hes so worried about his shoes getting ruined that he doesn't realize he don't need good shoes to be cool

# data[].attributes.body
In the lats paragraph or phrase when it said "These Nike's helped me defined me"

# data[].attributes.body
He is realizing that everyone is getting the same shoes and he is not feeling that he is not cool anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
some evidence is in the music video and the lyrics. one in the lyrics is "and now I see that it's just another pair of shoes

# data[].attributes.body
"we are what we wear , we wear what we are."

# data[].attributes.body
internal he thinks to much about what others think and dose not focus on what he thinks

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is don't let a objects define you as cool.
