Damn y'all in here ready to shed a tear about being able to afford sneakers now. Lol.
Good for y'all though. I barely wear sneakers nowadays. Workout, quick run to the store, chilling.
Probably not showing up to a night spot in sneakers unless I can flip then with a fresh business casual fit. -

A good pair of shoes will last a long time, sneakers not so much. Plus with sneakers you doing a lot more in them, running and cutting, shoes you being cool and looking cool
This isn't true. I have tennis shoes I've owned for years I can still wear in good condition. It ain't hard to do you just take care of your shoes like anything else -

Maybe because shoes last longer then sneakers.
I'm just guessing.

This is a great thing. Them folks who was just getting shoes to resell them was just in the ? way. If you not going to wear them get out the way. Reselling shoes at crazy marked up prices ain't a real ? hustle.
Dummies buying shoes for $200 then reselling them for $400 the same day then wondering why the person who agreed to the $400 price slapped a knot on your head took them and ain't pay you ? .
OR...
Buy them for 200, sit and wait...until they are long out of the retro cycle and ...now your 200 is 4, 5, 600
And ? forbid Nike decides to stop retroeing. Unworn pairs would be a goldmine
Im not a 'hypebeast' and the culture is corny to me, but to call people stupid for reselling- -aka investing- --is asinine. Its a GUARANTEED return on investment and potential goldmine, and it A-preciates in value
? we talking about ? nike shoes not stocks and bonds!!!
You guys should buy stocks and bonds like you do Jordan's. Stock is worth more than money. -

They seem to be a part of "black culture".
With that said I had frugal parents growing up. And we weren't even considered poor for a majority of my childhood. When my pops would talk to me about money, a lot of the things he said stuck with me. I rarely spend over $100 for any article of clothing period. -
Not space jams or 72-10s ....I believe those are PE's or just some samples

My parents were frugal and taught me about the value of money at a very young age. My dad even taught me about how to invest. -
? these foams will last you a lifetime.

What really changed the Jordan game was the fakes that started comin out in 2001-2003. But at the TIME, it wasn't taboo. Bc even ? like Fabolous was wearin em. First just variants, then made up colorways. (i got a pair of Phx Suns color 7s that still look tough lol) . Forced Jordan Brand hand to release more retroes and all the crazy colors
BEFORE that, those silly 'hypebeasts' went into legit business with buying and consigning Jordans that at the time weren't scheduled for release. Every pair was at minimum 400. They were eating. FlightclubNY started like that, their owner gotta be a millionaire by now.
Point being, its a hustle for resellers, and they realizing supply and demand and, again, if/when Jordan Brand stop retroing a lot of these cats will have collections worth 10, 20k. Seems to me to be some ? ? to just assume they all stupid and dont realize the potential for come up
S/n Nike Yeezys now go for as much as $5,000 on EBay. People were clowned for buying them for $500. -
I aint got no problem with Jordans but I too was raised to know the value of a dollar. My parents took care of the basics but they wasnt gon spend all kinda extra like that especially my dad. Mixed with my personality I aint a trend follower anyway. When "everybody" doin something it kinda turns me off. I'll use an analogy that I see and have seen a lot. I got on shoes that cost under 100 and the next man got new Js and all kinda fresh sht on and probably a bunch more at home. But...Im driving by and he's at the bus stop. This goes for other things besides having a car too. But its cool that people love Jordans if thats their thing. I feel fortunate to have learnd and know some of the things I know though.

? Jordan's

Hahahah THE most DC ? statment of all time Hahaha -
? these foams will last you a lifetime.
Tell me about it. I got the Cough Drops like 3 years ago for a buck 80 and them ? are still mint. That red bottom can't turn yellow like the clear soles can. Same goes for my Bred 11's I got when I was 17.
I got a plug for sneakers and he asked if I wanted them 72-10's, but I'm cool on the clear soles. If I drop more than 2 on some sneakers, then I want them to last and I don't feel like doing that Sea Glow ? .
I ? wit Lebron's more at this point though. Jordans have lost their luster for me as I've gotten older and expanded my sneaker palate

they dont appreciate....they are ? sneakers.
its just dumb ? willing to buy them. that doesnt mean it appreciates. it just means you found a ?
Fam, an unworn Jordan appreciates in value. Thats a pretty tangible statement i just made. ? the fact its Mike, ? what the item is. Pure economics. If i bought for x, can,i sell it,for x+1. Remove the emotion and talk numbers
A good example of a retor that hasnt released at all since OG. Og price 150, now market,value 600. It has appreciated. Simple, emotionless analysis
they still dont appreciate....
this is supply and demand type ? where someone can raise the cost.
heres an example....if i know a group of people like swatch watches and collects them...i can raise the price of a watches because i know they will pay the price for the watch. that doesnt mean it appreciates...it just means someone who wants it can find it and i have it so i raised the price.
if these appreciate then i guess the person that buys them can later sell them for $1000. an so on and so on.
i think not.
do they have a serial number,how do you preserve them to keep them in mint condition other than not wearing them...please tell me. them ? out the box and laced up...how do i know the ? aint wear them and wipe them off. how do you prove the authenticity... -

Bruh stop it. I don't agree with the way Jordans are revered in our culture but you're just denying the textbook definition of appreciate. They clearly appreciate ? -
Haha ? tryna prove his shoe game to the Internets

I copped the 72-10s yesterday for $100 bucks and they are real too. I wasnt bout to pay 300 for a shoe that will be released again in two years. find a good plug and you good but ? paying full price for some Js are dumb
Does the logo look like this with the butt ? ?

damn yo, give me my spill milo back..
-
I dunno why they aren't selling out no more but I do kno that I ain't standing in nobody's line for them ever. If I can't get em off Nike, Footlocker, Footaction, Champs, Finishline or Eastbay I just ain't getting em. ? them cats on IG that be havin them hella early them ? gotta be fake yet and still ? still fall 4 the okie doke and buy em smh
-
Besides the name, does Jordan have anything to do w the shoe?
He does actually. I have the book of how they went about making the first 23 pairs I think and he's involved in the process of how they come about. Which would explain why a lot of them are mehh.
