Those are IEs hace been sitting in a lot of stores... you should be able to find near retail in the aftermarket. Check ebay.

Ray,
I have one room in the basement that’s dedicated as part of my Man Cave. I keep them all in their original boxes and stacked all around the perimeter of the room.
Mostly Jordan’s but I’ve got plenty of Nike, Adidas and Puma…
Always takes planning to decide which pair I want to wear and at times The Struggle is Real but definitely worth it

Can 700 shoe boxes fit in one room?

…do you have some kind of system for organizing?

I definitely feel guilty and somewhat hypocritical about supporting the resell market that I so vehemently despise.

But when it comes to dollars and cents, I spend a lot less on shoes per year than most collectors who only pay retail, but buy a lot more volume than I do. Life is short and sometimes it’s worth it to pay through the nose for a pair of shoes that really mean something to me.

…though I do admire those who have the discipline to only pay retail.

Jordan’s by style 1 - 16
Nike’s by style
Puma’s by color code
Adidas by color code
Stacks are 13 - 17 pair high
I’ve got approx. 50 stacks

Same way I managed the stock room at the local store I worked at just less shoes…

I only have 19 pairs and some of my coworkers tease me about having too many shoes.

…f@ckers.

Does anyone wear their cool greys? It was one of those rare SNKRS wins that I was indifferent too. I like them but don't love them. Seeing how much they go for on the secondary market makes me think about selling for something I would be psyched to wear.

[SlaughterX]

I imagine you are talking about the 11s... I wore mine on Christmas. They are nice but if you're not crazy about them then onload and put it towards something else you want.

[TwoTimesPrime]

Yeah, If you have an eye on something that you're gonna wear more that the Cool Grey 11's I'd definitely unload them and get all you can now. It's still in demand.

[SlaughterX]

They will always be in demand, only thing that will cause them to decrease in price is when they announce the next retro, which won't be for quite some time. You have plenty of time to think about it.

[Ray Jackson]

I just got rid of my Raging Bull 5s.

Great looking shoe, but I just wasn’t wearing em that much.

Now I got eBay and the IRS on my ass about paying taxes on shoes I resold and lost money on.

…bastards.

I finally got around to spending some X-mas money and stopped at Lowes cause i had Gift Cards and then to the mall and also Dicks Sporting Goods too. I did find a new Sneaker place called Bullseye that opened up about three months ago and i got the Patent 1's from back in December they had the Fearless too but not in my size though. I might end up going there a little more often but there price's are high though not selling as if you won them off the app.

[reaperx187]

Anyone have the Jordan 1 Fearless in a size 8.5 lightly used but id rather have them brand new if not i can always just get them off GOAT or elsewhere?.

[Dubstar]

have credit at Goodwill, gonna wander and try to use it today, of course I'm more than likely going to buy some shoes, recently found some Johnson & Murphy shoes in really good condition and cheap.

[Ray Jackson]

I can’t even grab a pair of New Balance 550s for retail these days.

It'll continue to get Worse...Everyone's a Reseller these days

[InBruges]

gonna try for the AJ1 High Dark Marina Blues but i dont count on it. would love to get the Brotherhoods as well. shoes shouldnt be this hard to get.

[TwoTimesPrime]

Won a Raffle for the Marina Blue 1's (Jimmy Jazz) and will pick up tomorrow. Saw another Twitter post today of someone saying that "Thanks to Reselling, I was able to buy my First Home". This is what has become of the Sneaker Game .
Good Luck to everyone trying to get a pair .

[Ray Jackson]

Took the L on the Marinas.

Online raffles that are pickup only, aren’t really an option for me, as I only have a FootLocker in my town.

I can honestly see myself not buying a single pair of shoes this entire year.

Now that EBay income is taxable, I don’t even want to deal with that place anymore, unless it’s something really, truly special. And anything really, truly special is probably too expensive.

…I’m just funked.
