    I'm holding on to mine. We're in a recession. I may need them. Don't want to be shoeless if this turns into a depression. Yeah, that's it.

    I keep 20 pairs on rotation. That's it, so no I'm not obsessive at all.

    three years ago i would have been down.b,121b,121i'm done collecting shoes. colorways have gotten too wild, quantities released have been reduced to nothing, and competition for limited editions, much like the record game, has boomed exponentialy.b,121b,121shit, i even started actually wearing some pairs in my collection.b,121b,121i still buy a pair a month though.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Not to mention there are so many 'limited editions' on the market that they are anything but.b,121I still got a few pairs - for instance I kept my Jordan collection. b,121b,121My girl just today dropped of my AF1s, Dunks, Flights etc to the Goodwill. She said they went apeshit when she brought them in. Which is good, better to have people wearing them than gathering dust in my closet.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121used clothing boutiques pay cash for those joints. i sold 4 pairs of new balance 574's to buffalo exchange sf and they broke me off with $20 each pair.b,121b,121not to mention if you had o.g.'s of your nikes, fools will cop that shit on ebay no matter what condition they are if they're the right style/colorway.
  • DJBombjackDJBombjack Miami 1,665 Posts
    Yeah, true. But it made me feel good giving them to a charity instead.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121A dude from London emailed me yesterday offering me 100GBP+ for these:b,121b,121 img src="http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f343/hotsauce84/100_3134.jpg"1 b,121b,121I couldn't do it, though. I actually wear these often and I KNOW I'll never find another pair.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121The new colorways can hug my nutz. The exclusive limited editions are a hype also, 9/10 suck, and the ones that are decent are next to impossible to get or are just stupidly over priced.

    I just can't get into them. Colorways are just retarded. Give me plain white, plain black, brown or a mix of black and white. Maybe Grey sometimes. But all this neon crap sucks.

    Buncha fake Sneakerheads up in here. Stay out if your wearing Brown shoes and shit. Fusk That. Boring style,fake-ass temporary Hip Hop, trend jockeys.b,121b,121Go back to your beat-up thrift-shop Saucony's/found on the dumpster Sneaker-shoes for cats who never understood the game in the first place.

    I would suggest hitting up the dude who owns Premium Goods in BK. I've bought a couple pairs from there, and guy is real nice. I read an interview with him and he's coo-coo for shoes. b,121b,121a href="http://www.premiumgoods.net/blog/" target="_blank"1http://www.premiumgoods.net/blog/

    font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121this has been exhausted. if your gonna do an article, i would pick something specific that illustrates a class of collectors who care about specific shoes, not just getting whats hot or limited edition. b,121b,121also, based on what gets posted, very few people on this forum have good taste in sneakers. img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/breakface.gif" alt="" 21

    font class="post"1b,121b,121I give mine away sometimes too, but I got some pairs here that when it's time for them to go there is no way they are going to a goodwill. I'm a charitable man by nature, but I'm not about to witness one of my landscapers edging my grass in a pair of my JamMaster's that he caught for 20 when I can still trade them for something decent. Reminds me of the time I seen a dude who looked like one of El Guapo's bandeleros hustling for work outside of Home Depot wearing a Chaminade Swimming t-shirt (ultra expensive local catholic high school). Decided that day to always have a camera with me.
