Second, to the dudes who say "I keep my shoes clean, they last forever", you're either one of them clowns I see waddling flat-footed down the street like a penguin, or you're just a lame who doesn't do s**t. I've had to trash so many shoes after a crazy night of partying or just after getting into some random s**t. I've gotten into a couple of bar brawls that have left blood stains all over my kicks. I was gettin it in with this chick in her hot tub (my clothes and shoes were in her room) and her dog decided to use my J's as a chew toy. I was at a party and this drunk chick spilled her bright blue drink on my brand new lebron chamber of fear af1-complacency(light-grey suede like material w/ blue soles). It ruined the material and left a sick stain. Even back in my early teens, when I relied on my parents to buy me kicks once every 12 - 16 months, I finally got them to buy me a pair of jordans. I usually got cheap af1's or reeboks or something random, but not this time. I was lucky enough to get a pair of OG Columbia Xl's. Of course, during p.e., I changed into my beaters.........and when I came back to my locker.......someone had broken in and took them. Anyways, the moral of the story is that sometimes unforseen, tragic s**t can happen to your kicks when you actually wear them. So that's why I double up on certain kicks...........just in case.
And finally, don't get me started on JB / Nike's declining quality these days. They might re-retro the same shoe again, but it might not be the same quality.
Man, you should double up on everything you cop because you have some bad luck with shoes
