My interest in sneakers/shoes in general has decreased A LOT in the last year or two. Everything is super limited and/or over-hyped nowadays. I've been thinking of selling my whole collection lol.

Yup, every true sneakerhead I know don't care about collecting and find it a sigh of relief. Very hard to see some1 who enjoys a pair of Jordans because it defined a once in a lifetime moment of his career. One friend just got fed up how amazingly stupid the prices became and stupid for still paying because it's hyped so bad. Another friend got frustrated how impossible any pair of shoe he wanted was either camping or opening 5 pages in the middle of night to be sold as soon as you refresh the page. I know for the fact he hates Flight Club because he's never willingly to pay even if it was in stock. I feel bad for them but at the same time they look happier saving money for something else like a car or phone.

I have enjoyed collecting things in general when I was smaller, so it used be fun having something that not a lot of people had. Fast forward to 2010-2011 when sh*t starts getting out of hand, and the fun was sucked out of it. I also used to look at the shoes as investments as I still have a lot of unworn shoes since I used to double up on everything. I might just go ahead and let everything go while the prices are good lol. South Beach Lebron 8 going for 1k+ is a hell of a profit lol.

Let me know when you start selling. Hopefully you have some sneakers in my size.


And the whole cutting back on sneakers has definitely saved me money. Although my addiction to cars doesn't make up for it.

I'm a small footer. I only have 8-9. Mostly 8 though. Buying car parts is a different beast! I doubt that passion will die down.

They lasted me a good 10yrs and the snakeskin on the toe is actually is good for skating. You can barely see the left side of the left shoe but it's a little worn out.

These are definitely my favorite pair of Jordans and even though they don't make them like they used to, the new fire red III's don't have the same quality. They will be missed!!

Same. I wear mostly 8 but sometimes Jordans I need a half size larger.

That also. Jordans are slackin' in quality nowadays.

Hey I'm a 9, let me know! The old releases were better anyways. The current retros are terrible.

I also wish my shoe love would die down, but I'm still not over it quite yet.

I'll join in the bandwagon since my brother wears a size 9. Fumny how I influenced him; weightlifting, fixing up cars, now into sneakers. He's a little late in the game but immediately fell in love when he purchased a pair of V Grapes, VIII Bunnies, and the XI B-Reds.
