They aren't worth 18k. Realistically speaking, this nikka I'm selling to is about to get got in the worst way. The actual worth is like 400 for everything. Then if you're looking at it for retail it's about 4k maybe. 18k is horrible for sneakers, and he thinks this is a steal :mjlol: I told him 20' he said he had 18, I said that's fine, and he said"wow word man? Good looking out" :heh:

I told nikkas I just sold two pair of Yeezys for 8k. When in reality they cost about 20 dollars to make.

That's America for you though, right?
So in essence u could legitimately flip sneakers for a living hustlin these goofs?:ehh::obama:

Jordans have always been kinda hard to get in the Chicago land area but it's crazy now Especially for the 11's 12's 13's The original hyped release was the cool grey 11s back in March 3 2001 that shyt shut the city and the suburbs down :wow:

It was a pretty big deal for sneaker heads :ehh:

I remember being excited to see people who knew as much about sneakers as I did.
I'm sayin, shyt was milked dry and then some at that point

You see more white kids involved because it blew up and this country is full of white people

When boutiques started advertising around 2007, it was DEAD, and it was dying before that. Meeting people who knew that much used to happen organically same way crate diggers linked up - looking for some dingy ass barbershop that had an attic packed with heat, that wouldn't let you in if you didn't know someone or you looked like a gump on the security cam

You're prolly a lil younger than me, I'm 29, so I get you decrying the game now. But know that what you consider glory days, I consider the decline

I've never been there in the summer. I should take a trip to experience it. I almost fell in love with that city last time I was there.

Yeah. Not as a main job. But as a side hustle? Absolutely.

Well you were talking out your ass so what was I to do??...and I probably could school you on a number of things about the pimps in P town...the nikka Suga Free is a good friend of mine...I remember when that nikka use to run game in front of Church's chicken on **** blvd...

And I used to shoot pool with suga and quik at the barbary in gardena with my uncle; shyt ain't new and the game haven't changed. The P just moved to the internet.

Better fashion choices. That feeling you get when you get in the crib and take your shoes off :ahh:

You guys are sort of missing my point. I'm not saying that there weren't ANY white folks wearing jays. I'm saying that the majority of them weren't. They weren't spending Hella bread on sneakers like us. It was predominately an Asian/Black/Latino culture. The Hardcores consumers were minorities.
The majority still aren't though
