I actually did the same thing, won a pair on SNKRS and bought one resale off of stockx recently. It must be something psychological because it’s really hard for me to bring myself to wear something that I really like unless I have another DS pair on ice. To me these shoes are almost like art, and I want to preserve one just like how it came from the factory. Apparently I’m not the only one that do this judging by how many people pick up multiple pairs and post them here.They're legit but I'm tryna figure out your thought process here. You got a pair for retail that's guaranteed legit, cool great congrats. What made you need a second pair bad enough that you paid resale through goat, and are now stressing about the authenticity when you had a perfectly good pair at home? You coulda just enjoyed and worn your retail pair, which I'm assuming is far from beat, instead of putting yourself through this stress and money.
I think people do this with all kinds of things not just shoes, depends on how much money you got. There are people out there buying brand new cars just to store them away for decades. Some people just like collecting I guess.
