Are You A Sneakerhead?? Post Your Latest Shoe Purchase!!!

Picked up my pair of Red Thunder/Crimsons on Saturday - Hit on the local Jimmy Jazz On-Line Raffle! 1st win with them. Struck out on all the Foot Sites and no EA on FinishLine! This Game changes All The Time .

[SlaughterX]

Took a month to get here... doubt I ever buy anything from SF again.

Air Jordan 1 Low Solefly "Everglades"



Air Jordan 4 "Red Thunder"



Wasn't able to get my size from FNL EA, but it's cool because I already have Raptors and I like them more anyway.

I tried on SNKRS for the Red Thunders, missed out of course but ok with it since I don't absolutely love them.

My court purple 13's finally arrived yesterday in a box too small. Thankfully they were fine but I hear so many stories about boxes mysteriously going missing when drivers know what they are. There was about two inches of exposed box, only covered by tape, with the Jordan logo very visible.

I finally debuted my University Blue 4s in public today.

Sprayed em down last night and everything.

Wearing a pair of all suede shoes like that outside for the first time is downright terrifying. Especially when you’re not sure if they even fit right. But by the end of the day they had broken in nicely and I was sure that fit wasn’t gonna be a problem. I still don’t like how they feel in the toe box, but I guess that’s just 4s for yah.

I call them my Elvis shoes.

You can do anything…but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

[Ray Jackson]

Now if I can just convince myself to wear my University Blue 1s, my life will be perfect.

…except for the whole herpes debacle.

I can help you with that, send me the 1s. It won't get rid of your herpes, but it's one less thing for you to worry about.

What's the most you guys have paid for a pair of sneakers? What's the most you've paid for any kind of shoe?

$275 after tax for the Yeezy QNTM Onyx

$444 for my blue Ballys

Retail+ tax and less than half of the retail price, respectively.

[El Rey]

My Lebron South Beach 8's were the most I have spent
I am about to buy some Yeezy 350 blue tints

[TwoTimesPrime]

The only pair I've paid resell for was $275 for the Jordan Doernbecher 6. When I started collecting again I was the Stock Room Manager for a local store and only picked up for retail or below. I have nothing against resell but told myself if I can't get it for retail it wasn't meant for me. At over 700 pairs I'd say my plan has worked for me.
This year I made the goal to keep it to 1 or 2 pairs per month as a max, so being selective will be the key.

You have 700+ pairs of shoes?

…where do you keep them all?

[civiclx]

Alright, now I don't feel so bad about my purchase. I ordered a $500 pair of sneakers the other day and I can really thank jd from da 80s for that. Back in December when I asked you guys about shoe trees, he mentioned having some from Paulo Solari. Well I googled Paulo Solari and I think he's an Italian architect. Turns out he was talking about Paulo Scafora, a shoemaker in Italy and now I'm waiting on my pair to be made and shipped. So thanks jd and I'll make sure to pass the invoice along to you

That's the mantra I have starting this year. I'll be dammed to pay 2X the retail price. With that said, I have a pair of White/metallic red I's in size 12. On Stock X is asking for $400 for them. I would gladly trade those for a pair of Carmine VI's and Air Jordan XI low IE black/red/white (and pay the difference).
