That's the most clever thing I've seen from you since I joined this forum. Props to you. You must be highly respected on this forum cause what you said was exactly what I was thinking but yet since I'm a noob on here they don't seem to get my message as clear as they get yours. Props to you man.
I understand what you are saying, but when that day comes i wont go bashing dude especially when they say they have been collecting. And i dont understand what you all dont get about that statement. Hypebeast are still in the game sucking up every J that is released camping for 13+ hours for GRs. Thats not for me thats OD i'll return when everything goes back to how it used to be when i first started. Im almost 20 i dont have time for that !%#.Originally Posted by devildoc76

You are exactly what we are talking about, you have NO LOVE for the game. You just a young punk tryna be cool and make a quick buck...please never post again.
?Ive been collecting shoes since 05, this aint no fad to me. I still have 30+ pairs of shoes i sold all of my JAYS not all of my shoes, you dudes act like there aren't any sneakers outside of jays. So its okay for you old people to take a break from Jays, but since we are young, we dont love it and are resellers...oh okay.And if i was a young punk trying to be cool dont you think i would still have all my jays,because you know that is the in thing now. You sound dumb. Basically its our fault because we weren't born in the 70'sand you all are the originators and a new generation cant possibly love the shoes. Cant wait til yal old cats are in your 50s and 60s maybe this forum will be good like it used to be. I stay out of JB forum because i know its a fad now, and old cats all aways talking $%&#.
If you aren't a re-seller, and you love MJ, or his sneakers, and have been collecting since '05, why sell? And then look to return after the "fad" dies down?...... Nobody called you out earlier in this thread, you threw out "old guys" and put yourself out there. You don't have to be born in the 70's or 80's to enjoy Mikes legacy. I can't fault you for when you were born either. But here's what I do know. Youve been collecting since '05? So you were like 12, maybe 13? Come on dunn....with what job holding you down?...... I got insoles older than you. Now you're on a hiatus? What was your sole intention when you bought you're J's? Were you planning on wearing them, or let em sit and just say you have them ? You love the sneakers right? Then why let your peers determine whether you should sell or keep your J's. You're your own man. Ive got many OGs that I've had since Mikes playing days. I've got only 5 retros, 4 first run retros (pre 2001) and the CDP Hare 7s. I wear my OGs quite frankly because they're still in great condition. I'm not dropping more money on sneakers I already have, but that's me......Now you got young cats complaining about the price hike, and why cant they be priced like they were back in 1995. If you're still in your teens, how the hell would you know what grown man sneakers cost when you were a toddler? All in all, you may have beef with the old heads and how they view CERTAIN young cats, not all. Well, one day you'll come to this crossroad when LeBron and Kobe's are being retroed and some kid who still has milk on his breath, sounds the same way you do. Old fools used to be young fools.For the record I'm 35, and I don't talk that $&@$ as you say....... I'm battle hardened for real and I walk that $&@&!
I remember in junior high when the 17s came out, a kid was using the briefcase for his books and got robbed. Do kids get robbed for shoes anymore?
I kinda disagree with that just because it was cool to wear j's in high school when i was there, I'm 25. Someone also said, "True collectors will always collect." I took a break after the metallic 5s released in the summer of 07 until august of 09 just because there weren't enough released i was interested in, at that point i had maybe 30 pairs, and i was completely happy with my "collection" or "rotation" or whatever everyone is calling it now. My first pair of jordans was the retro spacejams from '00 because i had stopped growing and paid for half of the shoe with my allowance. I'm at about 110 pairs and its ridiculous, because i barely wear half of my stuff. So if i decide to sell a pair i don't generally wear anymore does that mean i don't have love for the shoe?

people who cant think for themselves and just follow the crowd...THEY are going to lose every time....

Yal dudes are clowns on some real $#@! , i dont sit on the computer all day posting which is my post count is low, id rather read which is what ive been doing since 05. NT is what helped me fall in love with the shoe game once the chambray 7s dropped. I sold them because i am a college student that needed money. Money > Jays that can easily be copped again once i graduate. I really dont have to explain +%@! to any of you dudes. And yes you are right i was 13 when i started collecting i wore all of my jays. The main issue yal old cats have is that you cant walk in and out of the store to buy Jays like you used to be able to do in the 90s and you cant fathom the fact that SOME people in the younger generation actually do love the game. Get over it times have changed. You all have fun complaining NT should make a section for 35 and up so you all can #$@!@ and moan all day long. I wont be returning to this thread because yal just gonna keep hollering hypebeast, so be it
When it comes down to it, nobody should honestly care about "respect" from other people, especially if it's respect over shoes.
