This is part of my point, as much as i rotate i rarely ever get to the beat point on any shoe, plus between my casual shoes and air max, I can't see BEATing a pair 160-180.00 shoes. And I have I haven't beaten a shoe from casual use since i was in elementary or middle school.
When assuming goes wrong! I am not new to this at all but as a older guy in these shoes the accessibility of shoes today due to technology is really a reason to curb your appetite and spending. I see shoes all the time that 10 years ago I would have jump on asap but now I have learned that next week or next month I'll see 10 more pairs and 3-4 of them will be cheaper than the first "STEAL OF A DEAL." And the funniest thing is that you said you didn't have the leisure back in 2002, really. I still can remember calling Eastbay ordering the Steel X's a couple days after release in 05-06. You either are trying to sound cool or you tried to pull an OG card on the wrong guy, LOL. My first pair of Jay's were the MIlitary 4's in 1989, my little brother got the Fire Red's with the wings sewn to the sides and I was mad as hell because owning a Jordan shoe that wasn't RED/BLACK/WHITE, was not the thing.
You did all that typing and really said nothing new. Why the hostility? I clearly stated that I knew what it was like years ago and I never made mention of "how a man spent his money," this was merely my opinion on a topic posted on a public forum. And as far as your years ago arguement I clearly stated why i feel there's no need to double now a days,"TECHNOLOGY." And also, I kind of think you're stunting because most people know that unDS's a 10 year old shoe is probably not going to go as expected and you can expect to spend 100.00 with these restorers which is going to put you right back at resell, due to the current retail prices being 160+.
I'ma let you have have it because you sound like an 80 year old. You jump all around a point, to make a point, then when they are shot down you say the point doesn't matter, then start defending the same point again. You're a right though that people do what they are use to doing but when you continue habits that should be changed or modified then you are foolish.You don't get it. You just don't get it.
Why does it matter that the concords just dropped? That means they can't retro the XVII? the XVI? So JB is retroing jordans in chronological order now? Since when did they start doing that?
Every time you reply you say something that just shows you don't know what the hell you're talking about
So because the Chicago X's go for under retail resell value now that matters to Nike? That matters as to why they took so long to retro?
Your posts are based on all hype.
So back in 2002 a dude could hop online, go on ebay/flightclub/etc and find any Jordan/Nike in any colorway they wanted in their size?
C'mon fam, just stop. My point was that a lot of people do it because thats what they're used to. A lot of cats who were copping 2 pairs 5-6+ years ago are still copping 2 pairs now, because thats their spending habits when it comes to sneakers.
We DIDN'T have this leisure. I said 2002 and you going to talk about some 2005-06. Thats 3-4 years later. You know how far technology jumped between 02-06? By that time cats didn't care, they were already in their habit of buying 2 pairs.
Not everyone has changed the way they copped kicks like you.
I'm telling it like it is, and you're trying to tell it how you think it should be.
That was all i was saying, not attacking anyone.
