i just find it funny how ppl try to clown dudes that collect sneakers

nikkas say "i invest my money"

nikka get the fukk outtta here

EVERYONE has a hobby or interest where they spend their money

whether its clothes

whether its eating out ever day

whether its going to the club every weekend

This nikka catching feelings...:umad:

Keep buying those sneakers every week thinking your making a good investment...:russ: Hopefully that works out for you.

you dont understand the culture

lol you really dont

so its hard to converse with you

he WILL get back what ever he paid for his sneakers

jordans DO NOT sell for less than what they were paid for on release day

This doesn't make sense..so the culture is to buy shoes and not wear them, but just to look at them and sell them back for more money..because they're in mint condition right,,so you just look at them..

Because if you bought them to wear, you wouldn't get shyt back..
Because they're used..

There's not a problem with buying Jordans or sneakers. The problem is buying $85,000 worth of them. That's literally a house in some parts of the country.

LOL @ Jordan's being a long term investment with continuous value and growth. It's like there is Sneakers Futures trading or they are commodities bought and sold.

I'll be the first to admit, I love my Nikes, I have 40 some odd pair, but it's just shoes I like having. This is a borderline problem for dude, but there's no way he'll turn all of that into a profit. He can liquidate some really rare pairs for a profit, and probably a good one like that, but shoes have nothing more than a social market value.

I have yet to see someone that can officially appraise a pair of sneakers, like they would a diamond and all that. Until there's an official grading scale, accepted by insurance companies, financial institutions, etc. then a lot of it is very :comeon:

sometimes you cant put a price on what gives you joy in life.......

If having a nice apartment doesnt give him any pleasure but wearing a fresh pair of Js does, then so be it.... my only problem would be if it was to the detriment of other aspects of his life such as he wasnt paying his rent but spending money on sneakers instead...

To put things in perspective If most of us were to add up the amount of money we spent on garbage over the ten years such as movies, clubs, weed, liquor we would be shocked at how much we had spent..... at least he has something to show for all the money
