How bad is your addiction?

I have been a lurker since the mid 90's and have seen some crazy collections. I have had Jordan's from day 1 when they first came out. My 1st pair were the blue/black 1's. I have had almost every pair of originals (wish I still did). Like most,I do enjoy wearing my kicks. Now days it almost an investment. I find myself scared to wear my new Jordan's. I have gotten to the point of searching for Jordan's. Thrift stores, etc.. Have gotten pretty lucky. I have a closet full of new Jordan's I have never worn and a bunch of used j's that I can't even wear..LOL. Anywhere I go I am looking for them. When is enough, enough? Am I the only one?

Wear your shoes brah... I was in the same position as you with 50-60 pairs of DS Jordans. I called myself unds'n a pair of cdp ivs and they crumbled to hell before I even got out of my room. To make a long story short I sold them all this past spring. That was the last straw as a life long collector. With all these restocks, terrible quality, this new ignorant generation, and this grey market issue its not smart to invest in sneakers anymore. Wear your shoes I cant stress that enough. I learned the hard way with all the money I've spent over the years. Life is to short to hoard these POS's. Enjoy them they wont last forever.

In the end, they are just shoes. Shoes are meant to be put on feet.

I hear that.. I try to pick and choose what to keep and wear. The ugliest/non-selling are the ones to keep. They won't re-issue those.. Call me crazy but I like the spikez Volt BHM.. None of the online overseas websites offer them. Always a +.
