I don't disagree with that at all. All of us are innately drawn to exclusive/limited shoes (applies to most collectible things beyond sneakers too), but to NOT buy something you like, solely because you won't feel special/unique is flat out stupid. Buying something because it's super limited is one thing; Not buying something because it's NOT limited is dumb.
Lets be honest: This mindset applies to a lot of people. A lot of these limited shoes, people want because of their exclusivity. Sure, a lot of people like them. But some of these ugly color ways that are released today in limited quantities, a lot of people would have no interest in if they were a GR.
Its not that they dont feel special. Its also because I've ran this colorway into the ground since 2010 - a half decade.

"fled the scene"I went to a small chain retailer down the street from my job during lunch for the hell of it. I asked to see the Aqua's he and followed up and asked what my size was. He brought that good ol' size 13 out and after looking at them for about 2 minutes he says, "So are you going to buy them or what?" I'm like, "Right now?" Needless to say I forked over the $205 and fled the scene. I paid cash and he had to cut the barcode off the box which I didn't mind. I wasn't tripping because I know how that works.
I'll post shots when I get to the house. I'm sure these have been posted enough but I'll contribute anyway.
Just got that call! Pizza party 2015 or nah??
To the unique argument m I say buy what you want. I bought the orange blaze 8s back in 2008(they were available then) and no one cared or thought they were cool. That didn't bother me at all. Fast forward to 2014 and people compliment them almost every time I wear them because 7 years later, and no one has them. I still appreciate the compliments but it doesn't change my like or bangle of the shoe. But as mentioned before, the choice is yours.
People bash this year's Bordeauxs and Aqua's but will have to pay $450 for them in 5 years. These kinds of people so have passed on them in 2015 because they weren't poppin or hyped. Happens all of the time.
