if you're reason is "my jordan got stolen from my locker while I was sucking at PE" or "I'm a drunk foo who loves bar fights thus ruining all of my shoes"Originally Posted by Big Game James 23
First off, anyone who says "theres only x amount off reasons why someone would double up" is ignorant. Theres many different reasons and everyone has got their own.
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.

Exactly.
Unless your balling in them, which I'm not, I don't see the need. Wear them, give'em a quick once over, put them back in theboxDungeon. I got 10 year old shoes that look new.

look fantastic.
2. greed and leverage: people usually double up on very limited CWs that release to trade for equally valuable kicks or sell for profit...
I don't see any other reason apart from these 2... Personally I only follow reason number 1. I get kicks that I absolutely love and ensure that I
get to wear them 10 years from now.Sometimes, I triple up...
my chaos 5 looks like shi now from all the games and casual wear...
forloveofthejays- you're crazy dude! 7 pairs? If I were to 7x on a certain pair...
It would be the black cements and the white cement 3s and all the 12s. LOL
