It's laughable man. Cats in the yeezy 2 thread constantly asking if $600-1000 is a reasonable price to pay for a SHOE that has an msrp of $245Like are you kidding me?So many things wrong with that. I've pretty much stopped copping JB releases unless it's a shoe I've been waiting for or always wanted but never had.

How is collecting shoes "corny"?
Remember there is a difference between true sneakerheads and hypebeasts.
I'm not a hype collector. I buy shoes I legitimately like and don't buy them because they're limited, worth x number of dollars, nor any other non-sense reason.
I've been collecting shoes for 14 years now and I wear them.
I was just thinking about that. How $250 was the F O H priceOriginally Posted by abernja
Don't get me wrong I'm not losing sleep over it. But nowadays if you want a shoe you have to either pay 2-4 times retail or stand in line for a week.
I don't even like LeBrons so I'm not mad about that. Just used these shoes as an example.
Only a couple years ago charging $250 for some shoes was like WHOA this guy has lost his mind. Now it seems to be the starting point and the sky is the limit from there.
I wish "sneaker culture" if you will would go back to where shoes sold out because they were GR's and great shoes, not because they can resell for $500+ or the "Limited" label was slapped on it.

Here goes this NT Elitest attitude. Why do you all feel that you are the ones who should set the rules to shoe sell/buy game?
I put 50% of the blame on JB and stupid limited releases and 50% on resellers.
There have been a few releases I've wanted in the past few years, but no pair is worth 48 hours or $300.
Please explain what you were saying then.Originally Posted by FedExciter

Get a dictionary, look up the word emphasis, and then read PAST the part you highlighted... I really shouldnt have to explain itOriginally Posted by abernja

you still don't get it
but anyway...it's not a big deal...it saves me money since i never have a shot at all the sneakers i like....and it brought me to other sneakers that are much better and easier to get (roshe's, adirose)
