Currently im attending Shoesaholic Annonymous. Its very addicting. Sometimes I say to myself I wish I was never into collecting shoes, but then again I loveshoes, why not spend the money on what I love. I have a family as well and buy them shoes as well. What other things can you spend your money on? You spend iton what you like right? Collecting shoes is like collecting basketball cards. You can say shoes are ment to be worn, but stamps are ment to be on envelopes,and collecting coins are ment to spend. Most of you guys dont make sense when saying shoes are ment to be worn. Everything has a purpose, but not only onepurpose. I can collect cars and not drive them. IF you love shoes, then collect them, wear them do what ever you want with them, but do it because you deeplyhave a passion for them, not because you want to fit it and say you have Jays. DONT BE A HYPEBEAST!

Those "Last Shots" are OG, now theres a big difference between OG and CDP XIV. But, thats not where I was going. I was telling himretroes today are not worth it. Spending an extra $20-$30 when they're not even up to par. Now of course there are shoes today worth getting, no doubt! Ijust saying back in the jordan/retro HAY DAY '94-'04 imo every Jordan was a 75% coppable, now just 20% or lower.Originally Posted by milestailsprowe

whats wrong with CDP 14s and bred 1s?
They're horrible, they dont hold a candle to what JB produced when material was good. Now the '08 I's just look at the '01 I's nuff' said.
the CDP 14 colorway is great and I own the bred strap 1s. I owned the last shots and have had the cdp 14s pass my hand and really the difference is nothing but the fact its a shoe. The 1s are fine
Now back to the strap I's they're fine, but they are nothing compared to the 01's and 94's. JB hustled many with those, because they'redropping hi b/reds this year.

Yeah, STOP. The golden era of Jordan is over and has been for a while. Nothing worth buying really comes out anymore. If you really get into this, you'llbe tempted to spend big money on older releases.
It's a lose/lose unless you make good money.

Seriously, listen to this guy. Luckily, my addiction only lasted a year and a half. Last year I made 21gs and I have nothing to show for but some sneakers. Iended up selling a few of them earlier this year just to get some money back. Haven't purchased a pair of kicks since November. Now I'll only by a pairif I really Love it and know it wouldn't put a hole in my pockets. The Griffeys will be the first pair I purchase for the year.

JB just release their entire number jordan last year (1-23). Bad time to start! all you can look forward to in 09' is extremely limited retro Jay with aridiculous price tag.

i would suggest u see what jordans have been released in the last "x" amount of years (depending how far back u wana go) look at all the differentCW's and different models of AJ's. go for what u find appealing. i would go on sneakefiles.com and click on the air jordan category icon. it will showu all the OG CW's and all the retro CW's and when they came out. my personal suggestions would be to look into the grape V's, flint XIII's,olympic VII's, CDP VI's (carmines), and aqua VIII's. those r jus some of my favs tho.

quality > quantity - make a list of the shoes you want and start searching.
if you can afford it, buy doubles of your favorites.
