I feel like if I bought the blues Id be less likely to wear them knowing how limited they are compared to the blatos
like in 2 years, one might be like 2500 and the other like 1000
Is anyone going through that mental struggle?

I mean, as a graphic artist I kind of like the idea of collecting the niche collabs like the neckbeards and these unions. I like when Nike lets people go the distance and have sort of the "artist's" personal touch on them like the cord on one and the stitching/laces on the other. Something Nike would never bother putting the effort into if left to their own devices. These kinds of shoes done well hit the spot for me
then after they reach a certain threshold it starts to feel irresponsible financially to wear them. But then why should someone with money get to wear them instead of me? I applaud those that can just jump in the pool

To me that's similar to a collecting perspective so I understand where you're coming from.

I'll be sure to @ you when they come back in the correct size first then. Idk about your foot, but .5 up for me makes it look like I have clown feet.

No point in keeping shoes DS imo.. unless you’re planning on selling them at some point in time, just rock them lol

I think thats his point.
He sees them as investment, rather than just a pair of shoes. He believes the shoe could have a much more substantial resell price one day, so if he wears them, that hinders his ability to maximize the profit he can earn down the line.
Me personally, I own PE's/Samples, etc. So if it is in my size, i'll rock a few times, so they don't crack later, but I won't trash them by any means, so I understand his perspective, because for me the value for those type of shoes is not comparable to a released shoe. But shoes that release at retail, i don't often have that "struggle" as he mentioned, because I know I can replace them if need be.
I think he & only he, can say what must be done, because we all have different thoughts when acquiring any shoe. I can say wear it, someone else say rock it, but neither of us know if owning or selling the shoe is more important for the person, then the person himself.
