oh really

so how come he lives in a shytty Apartment?

and NO they do not ALL increase in resale value

dont let the net fool you

dude has an addiction - he won't sell a quarter of what he owns and even if he did he would not recoup that 85K let alone make a profit

After adjusting for inflation, factoring the opportunity cost of investing that money over time and him giving away pairs to the youtes...he taking that L.

He doesn't care though. He looks fine as long as he has his shoes. Now if a fire was lit in the apartment, he might off himself.

Some people have different priorities...who are we to judge.

If a fire did hit that apartment, I hope he would have enough Renter's insurance to cover that $85,000 sneaker collection.

He looks the type to have a nice and crisp pair of J's and pull out his metrocard to get on the bus/train complaining that the fair is too high :comeon:

:heh:

A lot of dudes from NYC are like that.

I remember these hood dudes in my old school used to wear true religions, they used to make fun of the other kids calling them poor and bummy yet they were the ones taking the bus and train lol.

Me personally, i wouldn't want to wear any of those expensive brands until i become rich. Wtf do i look like wearing gucci/LV without having a nice ride to show off along with my outfits :rudy:.

depending on what he has, it's a sound investment. Some pairs will increase in value over time and he can either trade up or cash out on some of those shoes.

Huh? Since when did shoes become a long investment? Some people who flip shoes do it soon after they purchase the shoes.

85k could have been a nice downpayment on a house
In some parts of the country, that $85k will pay a small home off in cash. I mean, if you're living by yourself you could easily get you a home that's paid for and live comfortably. And even if you had a wife and a couple of kids you could easily get a very good home with a modest mortgage for that 85k.

..and 95% of those shoes are ugly as fukk.

Couple of pairs of Jordon IV's and you have all the basketball shoes you need.
