Older Niker Talkers 30+

[superblytrife]

Be 31 in a couple weeks, been here since I was 18. I worked in an outlet in college and this site definitely helped me figure out the rare finds that would hit my store plus employee store pricing on Jordan's for 5 years, I never paid more then 90 for a new release and never had to worry about going to a store to buy them. I remember getting to NT chi at midnight and sitting all night for Espos and Pharrells and I was one of the first people in line. Now days I'd have to get there 5 days early and still wouldn't get my size.

I stick to dress shoes or the occasional am1/90 now days. Live through my 3 year old on retros since they are easy to get, rather buy him the new releases then buy myself a pair that will sit on a shelf next to rest of my older js that are rarely worn...3's and 11's are the occasional exception. 150 into kids college fund or on shoes...pretty easy decision for me. But love general for staying up on the trends and keeping in touch with the younger generation. My employees love that I know half of the random stuff they talk about.

Yo, didn't I buy a pair of shoes from you a long *** time ago? Footpatrol Stabs, or am I off? Could've sworn that was you but my memory is foggy. Used to come through your store on my way back and forth from MI...Edinburgh right?

Oh yeah that was me, I was a manager of the Edinburg store for a few years in college. I still have a couple pairs of those stabs, lol. I have been gone from there since '06. Now I'm a regional logistics manager for Walmart.

I just turned 30 in June.  I've loved sneakers since as far back as i can remember, especially early jordans from my elementary school days, skate shoes from the mid to late 90s, very early 2000s.  After 8 years of college, while working full time to help pay (and not being able to afford anything but really a roof over my head and food, i finally graduated and got a great, well-paying job a couple of years ago.  So now that i have the income, the house, the wife, etc. etc; I can finally afford really any sneaker/shoe that i want - and its a great feeling.  Being 30 isnt so bad..

[ps2child]

31.
Have the years gone by so quickly. I use to almost never come to the general thread because back then I was big into the sneakers and mostly lurked those forums to get heads up on all the releases. I'm slowly tapering off the game however. Every now and then I'll need a fix and buy a big release like a bred XI or something like that. I do miss the good ol days though on here. Nothing but nostalgic memories

 

[rel8tiv]

I recall getting up early and camping (before all this **** started happening nowadays) for almost every XI back in HS days, internet was just picking up at the time, no online orders, had to use the touch tone, class of 01
