I have to admit I had a chance to step back and really witness all the hype around this shoe and people willing to pay $500 (which I took full advantage of). The point i'm making is that all these crazy lines, sites crashing, and 700 page threads made me realize I was also playing into the MJ hype machine filling up his pockets and emptying mine, for what reason?
I got to looking at my closet full of jays and I was disappointed with myself that I was just realizing this at 30 years old. The closet should be filled with suits and gucci, ferragamo shoes not a bunch of sneakers.
My point: The concord hype opened my eyes to the fact that being a so called "sneakerhead" in some cases means just being a puppet.
I'm out and plotting my best liquidation strategy
Wow....Im not the only one that feels this way after the Concords
I think I can genuinely say that I am officially done after this year. I should have all of my grails and favorites by the end of the year....new and old. But I don't understand the idea of selling everything. I'll def keep a lot my my stuff till the day I am forced to give them up.......
Im gonna be a senior citizen who refuses to be put in a home cause they won't let me bring my 100 pairs of sneakers with me
