Yeah, I had to learn the hard way. I have a friend who collects as well, but he always tries to say that a certain shoe is either poorly made, ugly, or he has the og or previous retro of the shoe. Then, when there is a shoe that he does like, he says that he's going to wait until it goes on sale or gets to the clearance rack. Problem with that is that he's right only half of the time. The other half, I'd be stuck missing out on a shoe that I really like. So I agree with Terence D (first page), and I just get all of them. Really, where can you go wrong? THEY'RE JORDANS!!! Someone's going to like them even if you don't. Even if it's a year or more later, someone is going to be looking for that $39.99 Jordan on the clearance rack that nobody cared about. And you get to sell them for way over that on ebay or wherever.
