If this was like a Travis shoe, or any other colab shoe, that I spent $500 or more on, I’d wear them very rarely honestly. Kobe’s are different for me though, I wanna ball in them. I’m kinda lucky that the way I play the traction and outsole shouldn’t give out, too much, hopefully

Honestly, this $#^! has gotten beyond fuhkeen stupid now. I've been doing this a long, LONG time, and I can afford it even with these asinine prices. But I've about reached my limit. It's hardly any fun anymore, and I'm tired of getting bent over just for the "privilege" of buying some plastic shoes that cost $15 to make, if that.
I'm most likely going to end up buying a pair of Grinches still, but that's for personal emotional reasons, not because they are now hyped up by clowns who never cared before and a billion other clowns who think reselling sneakers is some come up. Long run, though ... I'm glad I have loads of stuff that always topped my list, and a lot of which I haven't even bothered to wear much. It's time to start rocking it all. And I'm glad the 2021 lineup, from what we know so far, is pretty light in terms of OGs I have been waiting for.

For real man. Feel the exact same way. This has been a grail pair for me since they originally released and prices were too high. I couldn't believe that Nike was bringing back this exact pair, and was so excited for a chance to get them. Really stupid between Nike making too little pairs and resellers scooping most pairs up. My max for these is $325. If prices don't get there I'm moving on.

That's the key: letting go of the GOT TO HAVE IT mindset. But I struggle with it big time, yet a lot less so lately LOL
I don't even know how bad I want these anymore. I had the OGs from new, sold them last December because I didn't know how much longer they'd hold together. I probably wore them 15 times (and that's being generous with my memory). It's a bright green, plastic, snake-scale bball shoe. I mean, honestly, it's pretty awful LOL. But that's why I always liked it, and because of the Kobe factor as a huge KB and Lakers fan. It's not any fun now, though, with a billion people trying to buy it to flip, resulting in the prices reaching offensive levels.

I think it becomes easier when you have a line that you won't go over. I mean, $325 for a pair of basketball shoes is still a crazy amount of money to spend. If I prices dont come down I'll wait around for a pair someone wore one or two times and grab that, assuming it's in my range.
I actually want the OC more than Grinches, those are a bigger grail to me. I may even try for 2 or 3 of those and flip for funds for grinches.
I just hate the shoe game now. It's all about hype, reselling, bots, hypebeasts etc.

All 3 of my OG pairs I have that I bought myself all are separating so you were right on how long your OG pair might hold up for. I would have still kept though bc of what that pair is.

yall gonna get the goat jig patched lol
also I find it hard to believe a $40 bot can get you ANY shoe you want with 100% hit rate. There are thousands of dollars bots that can't even guarantee that. Of that list you name, its not even that impressive of hits. Was hoping you'd say some Diors, Chunky Dunks, Travis 1's etc. lol

lol you said it, not me. Btw I'm not saying that what you're saying about bots taking majority of stock isn't true because it is true. Just that I have a hard time believing a $40 bot is hitting "any shoe I want". I have a few friends with expensive bots, yeah they hit a lot but not hitting any shoe they want lol
