Is it alright to purchase really expensive shoes in these times?

I have already purchased an Air Jordan and a Timberland boots, but what I want to purchase is a more expensive type of shoe in the Jordan collection for the purpose of going on dates and partying but a piece of my brain is telling me that I should not because I would be putting myself at risk with bandits. I really want to purchase the shoe but do you think it would be hamper my safety?
