    I'll admit, when i first started to get into sneakers in 2002 i didn't know any better that ebay had fake jordans, so i bought me a pair of fake JordanV Black/Metallic Silver for like $40 [​IMG] i came to realize they were fake when i compared them to my Fire red V's retro's i bought from footlocker inlike '99.

    That was probably the worst sneaker purchase of my life...but i did give the sneakers to a homeless man and he was very grateful for them so atleast I didsomething right by them.

    I never really paid anything over retail for my kicks

    I do regret dropping $400+ on high top Supreme dunks back in like 03 but just bc I coulda used the money more wisely in college (i do miss them tho)

    I def dont regret buying up like 20 pairs of 1st series Ice Creams tho, I kept 6 pair and flipped others for about $150 profit a pop

    the only purchase I regret is buying a pair of pradas off Ebay that turned out to be fake....the seller cancelled his account before I could reach him ....btwI paid just 100 dollars...this was back in 2003...I learned my lesson, "too good to be true"....oh well
