I remember when this pack dropped to $100. Still didn't want it. Same thing with the raging bull v's pack. Remember az outlet got them for $100. Still didn't want it because I wasn't feeling it. Then each one of the raging bull v's hit outlets by itself for $100. Now I want the stupid red suede v's and can't get over the fact I said no twice to them.
 
Jordan related:

- Oreo VI's (had a chance during EA but pass)
- Taxi Lows XII's (somehow these flew off the shelves, had a chance during RD)
- Playoffs/Flints XIII's

Non-Jordan related:
- Lebron VIII Xmas (found my size a week after RD, passed)

I really want a pair of the raptors and the vs now. I really regret passing
 
My local footaction got a shipment of south beach lebrons by mistake. Didn't like them so i passed. Not mad I didn't get them just regret not copping because of the current value. They had to send them back. A couple people picked them up before they had shipped them back.

I had a few pairs already but in May of 2010 I bought another pair @ NT for $90.  I bought the pair that was my size but they had other sizes as well.

You can still get these for roughly the same price on eBay, especially the zinc Flightposite IIs. The Oreos have started gaining demand but they rarely get over retail. I think it's because of how easy they are to customize. I want a second pair of those. The Cough Drops can run a little high but not as bad as other Foamposite 1 colorways.  
 
I regret i did not buy the
OG XI concords back in 1995.
The OG XI low i.e. black/reds,
The OG XII black/reds when they were on sale.
The XX3
 
In 2002 I was going hard on that whole CO.JP and DUNK phase, so ended up trading one of my DS 2001 BC 3's for a pair of DS REVERSE ULTRAMAN DUNK lo's. Seemed like a fantastic deal then...kickin' myself in the $%@ now. If somebody would have told me 10 years ago that JB was gonna start putting jumpman logos on the back of their retros instead of the "Nike Air" I would have held on to all my pairs for dear life!

damnnn $40 each, if I ever saw that on such a pair I would go berserk. Lucky!
