Yea and they were under retail for a minute lol. I swear I'd be better off investing in sneakers than stocks. It's not hard for guys that follow it a lot. I'll bet anything those Madder Roots are $250+ in 4 years. Not sure I can pick a stock that I feel as confident that it'll double in value in 4 years.Checks prices of watermelons....

I literally could've had a fsr of those when they released.
Totally agree. Am1s are funny in that way. Alot of those pairs that are easily attainable at release, and some that were on sale, sky rocket in value in a short time.
Og aquas
This pair...
That wu tang pair (dark stucco)
Blue recall
Etc etc
We could go on for pages regarding diamonds in the rough as far as "value" is concerned

And you can't return your stocks for what you paid for them if they go down in price like you can sneakers. Meanwhile, I've returned plenty of shoes I didn't like when I got them in-hand only to see them double or triple in value two years later. Those hurt lol.

Curries were also cheap af at some point.
Can’t believe I have only copped one pair on release day. Smh.
There were just too many good drops in 2017/18.

I like where we are now, honestly. I'm guessing we'll have about 20-24 pairs this year. That's perfect imo. Not a ton of pairs but all solid pairs.
Concepts x3
AMD x3
Blue safari
Treeline
Madder Root
TS x3
Kasina x2
Patta brown
Did I miss anything? The first 3 Patta were late last year iirc. Oh there's that weird one with rubber on the mudguard/toe cap, no idea what it's called. It's like purple on the front iirc.

As a U.S.-based, size 11.5m person there have been a bunch of releases I wouldn't even be able to purchase period.

might as well put safari IDs on that list...sorry to EU family that didn't get lucky enough to cop. Also crepes still slated for 2022? That'll be my next air max 1 cop by any means necessary

TYs. Not sure if they will get an US drop.
Personally I like Concepts, Wabi Sabis and the Kasinas.
The fact that almost anything isn’t easy obtainable pissed me off!

One of my faves. Have you tried them on yet? Mine fit so snug I had to pull the insole and replace it with a super thin one.

Yeah, my Blue Recalls fit super small compared to most of my other 2017+ AM1's.
