you answered your state of sneaker collecting statement above if i am reading correctly.. Its unwearable. Even if it was flawless with no crackingits still a trophy piece. I certainly appreciate it but as far as selling shoes like that there just isnt much value to them. Even jordans which everyoneballwashes dont get sold at high prices for old OG unwearable pairs. All the dudes sitting on OG pairs of Jordans who think they have thousands coming theirway will be surprised. Its like that with shoes in general. A shoe is not worth the price you think it is until someone pays that price. Goes for jordans, Sbs,Dunks, forces, etc etc.Originally Posted by WallyHopp
nope. i remember seeing them listed. i think they were listed rather up there price wise, $250-300 range. I just can't handle buying vintage unwearable shoes anymore after my first used vintage cross trainer crumbled. I had a good 12-15 wears but that wasnt enough. most comfortable shoe ive ever worn.
the state of sneaker collecting is so messed up in my eyes. 800 for some yeezy's with no true history or story and being bought for collection purposes yet here a shoe almost 20 years old in DS state with everything goes for the price it did when it came out 20 years ago. I was expecting $300-400 range
9-9.5 in trainer sc's, 9.5-10 in AT1's and AT3'sOriginally Posted by jbv1
OL WHOADIE BASTARD - very nice grouping, man - sweet - liking the way you've managed to keep most of the SC outsoles whiter than yellowed - what size are you btw? Unless the pictures have been resized I'm guessing a sz 9?
Overall, it is a difficult call - having true OGs that you can't wear due to the fear of disintegration yet stare at on your shelf
VS.
having the dumbed down brutalized off-colour poorer quality built with shoddy material less accurate retro that is finally released a decade or so past its first version that you can wear right now... It would be nice to have both
had a pair before and sold them and i re-bought this pair not that long ago...still haven't worn them yetOriginally Posted by ThunderChunk69

Having a shoe that cant be worn is an investment for someone who truly likes that shoe and weather they can wear it or not it means the same. Thats the key. Whats your personal motivation/rationale for buyin a shoe. Is it to get validation or is it for yoru own personal gratification. Some people are at that level of appreciation for shoes. There's nothing wrong with it. Everyone has thier own reasons and should be respected. But 99% of the "sneakerheads" are not at that level. Plus remember its "just" a trainer. Its tough to show off a trainer to 99% of the "sneakerheads" who care solely about ball washing jumpman or falling right into the hype of the air cheesy...err...yeezy. Sheep will be sheep, Most are into shoes for the short term, for gratifiction, for acceptance from whomever. And to each their own. I can respect anyone who likes shoes or if they dont its all teh same to me. I always wonder if sneaker contests and message boards didnt exist how many would actually buy shoes like they currently do. Just my 2 cents and my opinion certainly shouldnt affect your own personal thoughst in anyway.
