I don't see what's so weird about it. My all-time favorite shoe so I can wear through 2 or 3 pairs over the next 5-10 years? Maybe I trade a third for another AJ1 I can't get? I love the 1 and now have 20 pairs of them in total. Makes up about 1/6 of my whole collection, so I'll always put priority on them over other shoes.

Bottom line is I'm still about $350-$400 under current market value with what I paid and I think if I wait 6 months I'm looking at paying $500-$600 a pair which I won't do. $350 is about the most I'd pay for any shoe, retail or resale. Just my own standard that works for me, my income, etc. I've also moved 6 pairs out of my collection this month for about $250 in profit and more in total than I spent.


Out with the old in with the new. I never knew why people assume those who pay resell maybe used older pairs to fund said purchase

There is levels to this
 
its quality over quantity for me. i choose variety in the rotation and the extra $ i have to spend, i would buy other nikes/js like trainers and my top 2 favorite j's IV and VI.

its also nice to see dudes with 1 pair each of previous retroes and ogs than those with like multiples of 1 kind of shoe that released on 1 date.

85 94 2013(:lol) 2015 chi 1 pair guys > 4 5 6 x pair guys of 2015 chi 1

I feel good about this release considering how bad it started on release day. I had no pairs and now I have 3 lol. and didn't pay over 300 for a pair. Not half bad, if I can cop sbb I'll be satisfied till Aqua 8s probably one of my top 3 Jordan's. I'm chilling :smokin

I don't need old shoes sitting in my collection. I had the 94's and the 13's (which I gladly got out of my possession last winter). Physical space is at a premium for me with so many pairs and I'm done with old, worn out shoes serving as some trophy/testament to how OG I am.

I could keep em around to stunt in photos but I never collected for recognition or cause of what anyone else thought.

i got both 99 ivs 2000 na 6 and 01 black cement 3 solely for collection purposes even if they crack/chip. we know that pre 2005 something quality was good to a point. if i find a reallllly good authentic professional restoration service i might bring them back to life. the 2013 88 3's were ok but nothing like the og 88.
