When will you retire from the shoe game

Eventually. For most of us its bound to happen. Im not tryna be that dude with sneakers from wall to wall and a run down house with top ramen in the pantry. I want my stomach full, my house proper for my fam, and my priorities straight. Like others have said, Im here to pick up my grails then Im out.

I retired once Jordan began releasing every number Jordan yearly, and kept coming with poor quality. Sold majority of my Jordan, and I dont regret it why? Because Jordan will release them again and again. So theres always a oppurtunity to get em. It was a fun part of my life now I grew up, and found a love for Muscle Cars. Kept the Jordan I really love. Every collector has a lot of pairs they dont even wear. Might as well cash up.

To answer the question, I dont think we'll ever retire. There will always be a pair we want. I'm done just need a few pairs.

The thing for me is, I mainly look for the shoes I know I already like. So when I have all those, I'll be satisfied. The only thing that will affect that for me is I ACTUALLY WEAR MY SHOES. So if one of my favorite pairs starts to get beat up, I'll definitely want to replace them

as for retirement, i dont know maybe when i'm 30(21 now) or when i start a family, cuz then my kids are going to be the fresh ones. I've slowed down tremendously due to being a broke college student and a way smarter consumer (pretty much done with retro products cuz for the most part they suck), but i think i'll always keep my eyes open to what's coming out.
