JORDAN ADDICTION

[hotdamnxi23]

just when i thought i was out, they pull me back in!

i agree with some of the guys here, quality is better than quantity. when i first started i want to copped all the j's i could without thinking quality.now as i grow older i slowed down, with the proper knowledge which ones to copped. Btw NT has helped alot.

I don't see myself ever stopping. I have been collecting for 14 years and dont plan on stopping anytime soon. Collecting Jordans is the reason I dont wannahave kids, lol. My Jordans are my kids.

I think if anything as I have gotten older, (30 years old by the way) I have collected more, but I also see myself being more of a selective"sneakerhead" in the kicks I do purchase and not buying into the hype, and just doing what I love.

co-sign. I thought 2K8 would be the twilight of my "active collecting". That is, copping new releases that drop in the mall. But, as a truecollector, there will inevitably be a pair out there I missed on RD or a pair I really need a duplicate of, stuff like that. I don't see myself at the mallmuch for 2K9 thus far, but I agree with those stating that "a true collector never stops" we just become more selective due to the fact that ourcollections are substantial enough to do so.

Also, finding a partner willing to incorporate this hobby into your day-to-day is crucial. From one BabyMomma to the next made a world of difference for me andwas a lot easier with almost no arguments about my Jordans. My oldest son's mom doesn't wear Jordans and doesnt think they are a very big deal, so wewas always griping and *****ing about me getting some new Jordans.... after I got with my youngest son's mother she wears Jays and has brothers that doalso so it was no big deal to her...

true, but i sold most of my cdp kicks bcuz of quality. so my quanity shrunk but i used the $ to buy a couple of OGs

good move. i used to collect but took a pause for a few years. i started picking up kicks again during the last year and soon wondered why i waseven wasting my time and money on the crap that's out now. i've noticed myself getting more and more picky and narrowing my buys to a smaller numberof jordans that i actually feel i cant live without. wish i had known of the quality issues before i started buying again. if i would have known i would havebought fewer shoes, but used the money i saved on ogs.

 

[dcortes23]

to me shoes are like pokemon, "Got to Catch 'em All" then i'll call it quits but till then i'm on the hunt like ash ketchum.

 

[ebe2023]

i thought i would stop when i got at least one colorway of all 23 sig pairs but when it happened i did not stop. I mean i wear all my shoes and JB just happensto be what i want on my feet, so when i see them releasing something i like, i buy it.

I think once you start collecting you will never stop completely...you might cut back for whatever reason, but stop completely, never. I thought I would stoponce I bought my house, but I somehow find a way to squeeze out some extra money for what I really like and want.

[jaguarkicks]

[airthompson]

I only cop most OG's or OG cw's. I will stop when I have every Jordan on the retro card lol. Almost done.

 

[solejordan]

i've been rockin/collecting from 1991, and nothin will make me stop honestly.


slow down yes like family, kids, wife other obligations, but i'll always be there to cop a fresh pair whether og/retro/re-retro to add to the every massivecollection

 

[solekollectah81]

If you are a true collector you wouldn't be asking...it is a passion that never goes away, now the shoe game is messed up because of all the hype beastteen's that never saw Jordan play a game in his life and don't appreciate it.

 

[paje05]

i mean its an addiction and it becomes a part of u lol so once u into it, its like u cant look at shoes because you just want them makes u feel like u needthem haha

 

[novaballer]

i dont think i would stop. there so many colorways you could keep getting without buying the crappy quailty cdp's or retros from the past year.

 

[de la gezzy]

I WOULD NEVER RETIRED
BUT I ONLY COP THE GOOD STUFF I LOOK SO MUCH ON THE QUALITY OF THE SHOE

 

[freshkid614]

I ask myself that question all the time. A part of me is saying within the next 5 or 6 years, but quite frankly I don't think I'm stop anytime soon.The thing about this whole situation with me buy shoes period is not putting too much value into them. I would love to keep them forever but, deep down insideit will never happen.

 

[greatestgoliath]

It's like Pokemon. Gotta Collect them All! ( I know that was Corny SMH)

 

[methrer1a]

just keep buying
