How'd you find a decent trading partner? I've got Js and SBs that I'd like to trade for air max, but no way of finding someone my size to trade with.My LPU. Bit the bullet and traded the AJ1 Mocha for these babies plus an additional €150,-
But man. These are beauties.

Jesus ****. What do I have to do to get a pair of Amsterdam in 45.5!By the way dblplay1212 I know you've asked before to see my 'collection list' - so here's a PDF with a list of my pairs. For anyone else, yes, I keep a pretty detailed list of the AM1s I own. Nerdy, I know - but there's also an insurance element to it. Feel free to check out this list out if you want to, but I ask you to please not share it or post it anywhere. Cheers.
Just curious...do you buy every pair you can get your hands on? Or do you just collect the pairs you like?By the way dblplay1212 I know you've asked before to see my 'collection list' - so here's a PDF with a list of my pairs.

If we being honest, those dudes with larger collections rarely enjoy their sneakers anymore. I've tetered the line of large collections with around 200 or so sneakers before and I rarely even knew what I had.i used to wanted an insanely large sneaker collection but how do you even store that (without spending a fortune on storage or taking up every room in the house) and I like to wear what I own.
Wow. Forever or just temporarily? I'll be so disappointed in myself I missed that.Bespoke program cancelled
Not sure, bro... keep looking and they will pop up eventually. The only pair I have in 45.5 is a F&F pair, which, if that's what you're after, is probably going to be a little bit tougher to dig up. But nothing is impossible.Jesus ****. What do I have to do to get a pair of Amsterdam in 45.5!
lol - I can appreciate underhanded shade tossed as much as the next dude, but I can assure you I obviously only buy pairs I like to have in my collection or pairs I use for projects (ie use parts and such). In fact, if you look at my PDF in the far right column, you'll see that I've denoted quite a few of the pairs I own to be used for such 'projects'.Just curious...do you buy every pair you can get your hands on? Or do you just collect the pairs you like?
Everybody is different with individual reasons and motivations for collecting. Personally, I can assure you that I in fact 'enjoy' all my AM1s (which doesn't mean I wear them, but that I appreciate them for their place in the lineage of this shoe). I can spend hours and hours just looking at and studying my AM1s. However, besides AM1s, I probably have another couple of hundreds of sneakers for which I certainly don't have this affinity. They're just shoes to me - some getting worn, most just forgotten.If we being honest, those dudes with larger collections rarely enjoy their sneakers anymore.

Also what do you do for insurance mate? It must be a total nightmare.
Everyone keeps telling me I need to get my collection covered but just cannot see how it works. How do they value pairs when they change value constantly? What happens if you lose a pair that is impossible to replace? What happens when you decide to unds and wear a pair? Do you have to update the broker everytime you acquire new pairs? What happens when the eventual sole crumbling happens?
Just seems a massive minefield of what ifs.
Who do you have them insured with? I did research on it a while back and couldn't find anyone will to do it. Well Lloyd's will do it but they have to be in storage and you can't wear them after insuring them, bc like you said, that can change the value. Homeowners will only cover the retail price.I have my sneakers insured, they just asked me the value at the time. I'd assume that if you have 1000's of sneakers or you give them a high estimated value, the insurance company may look deeper into your claim.
However whatever the headache is to you to have them insured, it's better than not having it insured. Even if you lowball your collection and say it's worth 15,000. It's better to get 15,000 if something happens to your home vs nothing.

Whenever I talk to people with larger collections they all kinda say the same thing, "I wear roughly 20-30 shoes regularly". Everything else is just kinda stuff.
People are creatures of habit so I think some of us have real addictions while others just buy shoes because it's what we've always done (I been into sneakers since 9th grade, I'm 32 now so I can genuinely say I've been buying sneakers once a month at least for over half my life). I had to sit back one day and ask myself what I was doing it for.
I know that collecting for some has financial benefits as most "cool" sneakers can be resold down the line for a profit but I also know certain collectors never plan to sell. Sneakers is just what they do.
Where can I buy these online? What do I need for AM1s?Whenever I visit local Nike outlet, I always buy packs of replacement laces. 1.99.. can’t beat it I hate the anniversary laces
