Anyone making their way back into shoes?

Still copping.....


i got metalic 5s,2 pair black cements , true blues, electric blue foams, solar red lebrons, gucci sbs, mf dooms (christmas gift from my girl), concordes, doernbecher 4's and................ I cant remeber what else
 
still got love for sneakers.... mostly Lebrons and Kobes amd AM.... dont buy as much..
 
I've recently gotten back into shoes. Over the last year and I half I have been buying like crazy haha..
 
Maybe when I get my finances in order. For now, I'm out the retail game as a whole. I just buy mainly food, fuel and water, and a few things to keep me entertained here and there. Video games and whatnot, but that's few and far between, and I try to catch sales.

I'm getting rid of debt. I'm never comfortable until I do...

I was heavy into it when I was 18-19. I still love kicks, just buy whatever I REALLY like here and there.

Lebron Cannon 9s.

I still buy Jordan's from 1-13, the occasional SB (mainly Koston's) and Air Maxes but nothing like I used to be
 
i havent bought jordans since 2003, but i came back for the concords

....i'll return once again for the columbia XIs.

Matter of fact, every sneaker that i want to buy are sneakers from my childhood/teen years in the 90s

Nike has been dropping some good stuff lately.

I'm still hoping Nike drops these jason kidds

hoping to buy a few this year, didn't buy no shoes last year, but I'll mostly be putting money in the bank.

Can't see the pics, but I'm guessing its the Zoom Flight V's aka the bug eyes?
Edit: it loaded right this time. They came out in black/grey a couple years ago. Also were on NikeID. But I also wouldn't mind having those.

Just did some research, they dropped this color in Asia. Close, but no cigar. Also they stripped all references to Kidd, and called it the Zoom Uptempo V. But Kidd's back with Nike, so there's some hope...

Better sooner than later my man. Corporate isn't for everyone, and I know a lot of people who have wasted a lot of years in the work force aspiring to climb the ladder only to realize they reached that glass ceiling years ago.

I stopped collecting shortly after graduating, and I don't ever seeing myself going back to the collecting phase. I might buy a few pairs of Jordans in the future just 'cause, but seeing the quality of JB go down while the prices went up made me realize how insane it was to regularly drop $150+ on a pair of shoes when you can get the same functionality and better quality for a lower price.

But I probably won't... as I've grown older I've become more fond of the minimalistic look, so I'll probably stick with that.

Does that mean they're sitting just beneath this glass ceiling, waiting to break through? They've given up? I understand there are many reasons for not wanting to live the corporate life, but am struggling to understand this one. 
Sincerely, 

Confused
 
I feel like you OP but then after I cop I don't really wear em and be like damn not again! So I think I'm done forreal.
 
I've been done with collecting kicks...I just buy a pair I need at the time and call it a year.

"I'm like a shark, and sharks never swim backwards"
 
All these releases got me wanting to come back, but nah. I'll keep my money, a month down the road I won't even care that I didn't get Concords.
 
Haven't bought a new pair since Playoff VIII's in 2007 - 5 years ago.

Sold them 4-5 months later for $75 & was officially done w/ the "shoe game."

It's a waste of money trying to keep up with everything.

Selling everything, because the shoe thing is overrated.

never got out of shoes but am less interested these days

i sold many of my shoes but and still holding on to a lot of the ones that i really want

not really buying anything that is coming out these days...especially retros

if i start to become more interested in shoes again it would probably be for newer runners like free 2...i'm thinking about buying a pair i saw today
