You like sneakers???

Well these dudes like'em more...

As much as I like sneakers and collecting them, I would never do what these guys are doing right now.

For those who have no idea what a Yeezy is, its a shoe made by Nike for and by Kanye West.

In the 90s sneakers were way cooler. Sneakerhead-ism now is dumb, it just ain't what it used to be.

I've got friends that actually resell sneakers. I'm not sure about the individual cases of these guys but I know my friends use a personal/sick day or two and wait to get a few pairs to resell. They'll usually come away with an extra 2 grand or so on average.

This completely makes sense. Taking a day or two off and making a ton of cash sounds like a great idea. Sitting outside a store for over a month is just ridiculous.

+1!!

I have a decent collection of Jordans but there are only a host of pairs that I actually like. Once they went from Nike Air to Jordan Brand, that was when they went to B grades. I remember getting jumped in junior high for wearing either Jordan, British Knight and LA Gear shoes!

These young cats are killing it! SMH at the recent riots for the Galaxy Foams! They are so ugly too!

I remember growing up in the 90's I had pair of Jordans. They meant alot and in that era you wanted to be MJ. Now, I can't see myself getting Jordans even if I wanted to. They are expensive and you gotta lose an arm or leg to get a pair. Plus, they lose value to me if everyone is wearing them. But hey, if you want to spend money on sneakers then it isn't any of my concern.

Exactly! TBH, most of them are not that good to ball with. I had the original Space Jams and though they are nice, they were very stiff and not that comfortable. When I saw all of the mayhem for those shoes over the holidays, I just had to laugh.

MJ is the G.O.A.T but any Jordans from '97 and below and designed by Tinker Hatfield and originals are probably the only ones worth anything.

I like the newer technology, the lighter more breathable shoe like the Kobe's or Lebron 8 & 9's.
