Aight guys. My house burned down back in February of 2008. I had a nice collection going but they went with the house
smh.gif
lol. So after getting some money fromthe insurance company, I have restarted my collection. The insurance company covers everything in the house, except they take out depreciation (even thoughalmost all of my shoes were VNDS) and they also wont pay anywhere near what my shoes are reselling for now days. But oh well. House is being rebuilt as wespeak and should be finished by May.

Why am i restarting my collection? Well because some people have their addictions. Money, cars, purses, drugs, whatever.. mine is SNEAKERS. I grew up around alot of drugs, and if all my extra money is going towards things like shoes, then that keeps me away from the drug habit. I guess you could say sneakers are myAnti-Drug? Theres nothin better then the smell of new shoes to me. So here you go guys with my collection. Sorry bout the crappy blackberry pics. I haventcopped a new camera yet lol

Oh yeah and if anyone wants to see pics of the house just lmk and i will post some on here as well.

funny thing about these 8s.. they survived the fire. I had worn them the day before so they was in their box beside the front door. When the firemen wereputting the fire out, they grab these and brought them out to me. The box was wet and destroyed, but the shoes were fine! They smelled like smoke but suedecleaner and them little dryer cloths took the smell away.

^^ thanks bro but its all good. Insurance pays for most everything, and nobody was hurt (most important thing)

so yes I did lose a lot of stuff, but I guess its cool because i get all new stuff and a new house lol
 
I feel for ya. Part of my house caught on fire back in late september. Went through such hell to get everything back to normal. Nice restart on the collectionbro

Photobucket?? lol jk.

sorry to hear that. good luck on the re-start.
 
Lets see, my collection wasnt anything AMAZING. But my favorites where my grapes, True Blue IIIs (im hopin they release this year with the rumors of all the 3scomin out), white cement IIIs, laser IVs, and my Flint XIIIs. I had no XIIs or XIs yet. (thank god) because those would have been my favorites and it wouldhave hurt to lose a nice pair of Space Jams or something lol
