That's just me.

Interesting. What about when the new shoe is 2 sizes to small and your opportunity to buy a 15 year old pair of NDS OGs that just happens to be on your HG list AND your size is well within reach with $$ to spare if you sell the too-small new kicks? Would you then, knowing that getting 100% DS OGs would be out of the question or would you just buy a different HG shoe? Or replace the sold one w/same one in your size, etc.?
Thanks for actually answering the question. Much appreciated and far from "derailing a thread." Bunch a babies.
Thanks to my work PC eliminating my choices, this is free of RED font for the time being. You're welcome. Hmm...looks like HTML code still comes in handy though...good to know.
Yeah, I get what you are saying...
Still, like I said, it doesn't matter what shoe it is. I would use that brand new shoe plus add cash if it was for a brand new pair in return.
There's a few shoes on my HG list, but part of it being a HG, would be picking up a brand new pair that no one has ever worn, making it your own.
But again, that's just me. We are all different.
I hear ya man. Makes sense to me, totally. Thanks for explaining. For me, my #1 HG I may never afford to own in complete & total DS condition & yet will still hafta spend more than I want to to get a slightly used pair. I considered the OG XIs as close as I'm ever gonna get to a DS pair for a steal and they cost me $60 Less than what I made on the new XIIIs (see more pics here: http://niketalk.yuku.com/...0588188#reply-1058818. To me, they were a score but I get that some folks only want completely new kicks, all their own, fresh outta the box regardless of age, OG, etc. That ain't me as to date, I own 2 out of 3 of my top 3 HGs and both pair cost me (out of pocket) less than $100 for NDS cond. (no box tho) so I'm happy with the deals I've got.
I'm one to wear All my shoes too, HGs included, so while I baby em like most of us do they're not as sacred to me as they are to some. A shoe sitting in the box still with paper inside for years at a time just ain't my thing. So someone taking the depreciation off'em by tryin em on or wearin em a few times is fine by me.
I don't buy new cars either for a lot of the same reasons (love my 15 y/o ZJ "Blackbird"...jeepforum.com represent
Thanks again, man and good luck scratchin off your HG pairs over time!
