Two years? Check those size tags imo. You probably meant 2 months. Definitely different factories.

The fake factories already have them being made, just need to find who that is and try to buy from them.

I took a count recently and I've creeped over 200. A slow down is inevitable for me. These sales have made it hard.

why approach a rep factory while you can go to the designated factories that nike are using for their shoes ?? nike dont own these factories and they can basically sell the midsoles on the side without nike finding out

You'd need someone on the ground to spend a long time building a relationship to get them backdoored from a Nike contracted factory. Would be much easier to just find a fake factory that's already making them. I'm surprised nobody has done it yet. You can probably buy them for a dew dollars and easily sell them for $50 a pop. There's definitely a market but honestly it's probably a very small market, most likely 100 or less per month.

Plus there's a window from 2013ish to to 2017 where noone would want to resole, too. So that would kill that market for a while.

Haha same. I noticed the other day that Curry retros are from 2018. That's already 5 years old! Anniversaries are 6 years old. Like I know what years they released, I can do the math, just doesn't feel like it until I sit down and think about it.

Oh man! This would be a game changer!
On a similar note, I just received the Time Warp donors from Farfetch. They’re actually partners with Stadium Goods!
I thought that I’d eventually get them for clearance prices, but I couldn’t find them at any US stores, so I pulled the trigger on resale at $174 shipped.

The pandemic slowed a lot of wear time up for people as they stayed closer to home. It seems like those couple of years went by in a flash.

.. always think of Chloro as 08 and Cherry 2010, with that being said the difference is crazy, not sure what your pairs are like. Vietnam make better air units (or did) than Thailand by far ha
In regards to sizing collection down - go for it. 200 pairs is way too much imo, am aiming for 50 max. They'll all be dust so rock them all.

200 sounds just right to me.

I’m nowhere near 200 and 50 sounds like more than enough. When I find myself looking to buy more I sometimes say out loud “damn, how many feet do you have???!!”.
It also helps to leave pairs out so its clearer that you have shoes just waiting to be worn. So you can’t “outta sight, outta mind” another purchase.

I have managed to stop copping any new pairs. Am enjoying the collection more now I've stopped. I stared feeling bad buying new pairs mainly cause it was so unnecessary. I have every shoe I ever wanted so buying more seemed like some kind of addiction, also there are ethical factors which I won't go into here. Feels so good to just let every release slide by after years of chasing drops - freeing almost ha

My issue is the glue on the Cherrys. I have them scheduled for a re-glue and possible swap if the sole looks bad when they take it off.

lol it's like goin to the mechanic. Send your shoes off for a swap, get that call "Hey bud, it's not just the glue. Soles are starting to crack, too. Now I have the soles here in the shop, but it'll cost you an extra $100 for the labor..."

I had a few pairs of og red that were beat up pretty bad. Almost just donated them bc the toebox was pretty damn dirty and one had a stain where something had dripped on it. Figured I'd try to wash and see how they turned out. I'm shocked at how clean they came. Just scrubbed them a little with a soft brush and shoe cleaner, put them in a linen bag, set machine to warm/extra soak/light spin, and they came out great imo. Left is 100, right is 103.
Excuse the mess, rearranging my room.

this never made sense to me. you only have one body, but it's not like we only rock one shirt for the rest of our lives. that said, whatever helps people from becoming financially irresponsible hoarders is probably good.
