Discover the story of the song > Wing$ – Macklemore

The song is about a boy who gets his first pair of sneakers and feels like he can fly when he wears them. He becomes obsessed with having the coolest shoes and fitting in with other kids at school. As he gets older, he realizes that buying expensive shoes doesn't make him happy and he wants to be true to himself instead. The song is a critique of consumer culture and how it can make people lose sight of what's really important.
