    Yeah, I know the feeling. I've been pretty lucky the last few times. Plus a lot of what I buy isn't "Holy Grail" status for a lotta people cuz they already got em. For instance, the 11 Concord, most people have em, I didn't yet so I sprung for the 45s cuz I just wanted the colorway, didn't mind if it wasn't the 23s, same goes for the Space Jams. Was just happy to have the shoe in that colorway.

    I think thats how I am now when it comes to shoes,if I can't get them,Oh well not the end of the world. Last pair of shoes I felt the need to get "NO MATTER THE COST!" (Lol) were the 2017 or 2018 OG Jordan 3 Black Cement which are to me my Holy Grails.

    off work tomorrow so gonna wear my 10 year old flints and just pretend I was one of the cool kids :cool: 

    cant believe how hype dominated the shoe game is now. remember these just sitting 10 years ago and having a midday urge to hit the buy button and got them with no hassle. now if you arent on your computer at launch you have no chance.

    i don’t know where you are but near me no release of the flints ever sat. OG, 05, and 2010 all went quick.

    I could be wrong but StockX won't take shoes w/o boxes do they? Have bought/used them in a minute.

    watched that happen in 92, lost all the local main shoe stores and the Asian owned mom & pop shops that would always let me know when the new kicks would arrive and get my J's tax free. :(

    these were the sneakers that got me into sneakers (May date myself with that, but I think we trend older here). They rereleased a few years back (6 or 7 now) and I remember calling all the boutiques at that time to grab a pair. Got lucky and grabbed 1. Keep saying I’m gonna wear them in rec league, but haven’t yet.
