When will you retire from the shoe game

Maybe I'll change my mind after resting on it for a few days, but right now I'm just so fed up I don't know if I feel like being a part of this any more.

Mate, don't let the 10% of idiots on here ruin it for you, now is the time older heads like yourself are needed to keep some of these younger guys coming through on track

==I have a decent size collection going... I think I will really scale it back after this yr, as I only need the taxi xII lows (coming in June for Australia) and Concords at year end and I'm pretty much done.Not a Fan of the X's rumored to drop and I already have a lair of OG black toe xiv's.Not much else tickles my fancy, just need to stay strong and avoid picking up diff colourways

a few years ago i sold my entire collection except for my grapes and caro xiv's. i recently got back in to copp some vi's i never owned and to copp space jams/concords and the upcoming lll's. I think that i am truly done after that.

I would consider that I am retired now. I only buy what I like once in a while now. i'm down to around 5 pairs only now. I'm only 19 but I'm sure there's better use for my money. Especially with the raises in price and declining quality, I just lost interest and respect for the products.

Got my first pair of Js (true blue 3s) in 2001. I'll probably stop after getting a pair or two of blk/cement 3s and a pair of concord 11s

Don't know if ill stop. I slowed down when time's were tough, but the main thing is space now. Can't justify dedicating more than one closet to shoes so that will be the end of it.
