I got out of the game after it just became saturated with resellers.


Nice collections but your point is trivial, consumer culture is in no type of way a real culture.
I saw a nikka cop 2 pair of cool grey 11s for retail. Came out of the store and said he was reselling for 350 :heh:

No shame.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
Yeah this camping for kicks phenomenon is definitely recent , shyt I remember as late as 09 all the retro that are damn near 300/400 now were at the most 150 and it was enough in stock . I remember in 2007 when I was starting the 6th grade , I went to cop the red ,green and black spizikes and them shyts was only like 120 now they're 300 :dahell: . Once twitter & facebook became the primary social network platforms it was a wrap .


Back in the late 80's early-mid 90's you didn't have all these rerelease neither. Whatever came out was fully stocked. The price was the price.

nikkas paying $400 for what retails for $170 is what ruined the game
shyt is beyond goofy now
camping out for days, riots, muggings, Youtube reviews. nikkas trading like is a precious commodity. like breh its just a shoe :why:
Im pretty much out already
Once my lil collection crumbles to dust, I'll just stick to Air Maxes or sumn
Breh I swear people fap to those unboxing videos :mjlol:

Some of those youtube comments are hilarious. I didn't know people could get so amped up to a video of a dude pulling some shoes outta box

Yeah That was pretty bad. I remember when they dropped I had a connect in the city and got the Blinks and Zen Greys for 230 a piece.

I just sold them for 3800 :laff: The Zen Greys I'm talking about. My Blinks got stolen way back.
I wanted a pair just to resell, but I live in a small town and all we had was Nike Outlet out here.
We never got any of the limited edition sneakers out here.
I remember asking The Nike Outlet if they knew of any QS or HS accounts in my city and they looked at me like ":dwillhuh:What?"
Nobody was rocking SB's or J's out here like that and I loved it. had to get my shyt online and everybody from my school was like":gladbron:Where you get those?"

Buy sneaker to never wear it. If worn depreciates like none other. Sounds like a lose lose situation.
You can still sell sneakers that have been slightly worn for way over what you paid. Can't do that with a car unless you put thousands of dollars of upgrades on it

shyt but 18k seems like a shyt load for sneakers. If they were a pair of zegnas i got u but js made in a factory in indonesia by a twelve year old missing her thumb seems off. Whatever floats ur boat i guess
