For the newbies
Classic example of a shoe that I would pick up if I had an unlimited budget and could buy whatever I wanted without feeling guilty about it. But even though i’m doing pretty well financially, I don’t feel that I have the luxury of buying any shoe I want, regardless of how much I may or may not wear it.
Not if I want to retire someday.
...so i’m trying hard to only buy the shoes I really love.
Well if you hadn't bought all those shoes for resell... but I feel you. Ultimately you gotta get what you really want, because no amount of meh shoes are gonna make you feel as good as a pair you really want.
With that being said... I have been buying these things long enough to know there will always be something new that I want and really like, therefore it is foolish to spend over retail for anything. The fact that they are hitting us over the head so hard with the mark up on these things combined with all the other ****ery, such as production issues (QC), the cheap *** materials they use, how they treat their factory workers, artificial demand caused by lack of supply, etc... makes it hard for me to even justify spending retail in the first place. Especially after years of getting 30% or more off retail. I think these are clean, but I am just not a big fan of the 5. I would have bought these on discount for like $100 back in the day.
It must be something about 5's, I hit on these and the raging bull via SNKRS Pass(Seattle) but for every other release failure, even those with little hype.
I think these are the first Jordan retros since the Shadow 2.0’s to not be a draw on SNKRS.no draw?!?! wow
