Ahh you have the Jordan 12s!!! I want a pair so bad

[Julio]

Today I went to a couple of place.. Im chasing some 13's.. 2nd option was the 12.. Didnt find either....

[Vteckidd]

solecontrolphilly.com has the 12s in cool grey for $250

[00CelicaGT]

You won't have any luck since the all the 12's that released this yr sold out in a day or 2, hell I was lucky enough to get my playoff 12's. Stood in line at 5am and got the last pair of 11.5's. No 13's will retro this yr so u gonna have to get both from private sellers. Check out Solecollector. Com look in the market place section, FYI all these guy are serious sneaker heads so the prices will be fair but firm no low balling on that site.

solecontrolphilly.com has the 12s in cool grey for $250

That's pretty good deal for the cool grey 12's, I passed on those cuz I wasn't fond of the orange but they are starting to grow on me every time I see them. Might have to scoop up a pair next pay check.

Kidd have u bought from this site u posted, just tring to get an idea of how legit they are..

[Julio]

I hate ordering sneakers online.. I like to touch and feel before I buy.. I don't even try them on.. I'm weird when it comes to buying sneakers or shoes.. I can buy anything else online.. Just can't get into buying sneakers online.. I may have to on the 13's.. 12's only 2nd option.

Just picked these up today...

[Vteckidd]

Sole control is awesome been there in person. Store is right around the corner from my gf place.

Follow them on Facebook

[00CelicaGT]

I'm definatly going to order then this Friday. Julio I'm buy lots of shoes online but when it comes to running/trainers I like to feel & try them on cuz some times they run a 1/2 size small.

[Vteckidd]

Meek Mill was in there last time i was in the store. Raekwon stops in all the time too. Its a cool place, only place ive seen the BIG BANGs in person and the Marty Mcfly Air Mags. They verify all their shoes, no fakes at all

[Vteckidd]

Just picked these up today...

are those the big ups?

[Vteckidd]

should be here this week

[00CelicaGT]

[Vteckidd]

Allow me to preface this post with a nod towards not being offensive with my question.

What is the purpose of shelling out that kind of money on shoes? Why do you need that many shoes? I'm assuming you never wear them, yes? Is it an investment?

I realize it is maybe a hobby like collecting stamps or baseball cards or something. The only collections I've ever had could be made with items pretty much under $20. If I spend $100 or more on something, I'm going to use it til it falls apart. Again, I'm not meaning to insult anyone. I'm just curious. Later, QD.

[Vteckidd]

I wear all my shoes. thats why i dont spend more than like $150-170 and thats usually Basketball shoes. SHoes i use everyday. I like trying different shoes, just my thing

[Julio]

1st, yes..

[Vteckidd]

I ordered a pair of big ups last night lol $80

[Julio]

Valid question.. Don't think anyone will get offended in this thread..

For me is more of a hobby/collection.. I have over 50 pair of sneakers.. 85% I don't wear. Some I wear seldomly.. I mostly wear, slippers and flip ons.. And dress shoes for work..

I will be honest why I like collecting shoes and watches ( over 30 watches ) .. Growing up my parents could not afford some of these things.. My freshman year I played with a pair of sneakers called " Voit " or some name like that.. My feet would hurt like hell.. But I would play through the pain.. My teammates had decent sneakers and some of would have the latest J's... I won't lie.. I was jealous.. It sucked.. Not so much becuase of the brand, but the fact that I never said anything when I was in pain.. One time I did, and my teammates made fun of me.. " cheap ass shoes " lol.. They were right.. But thats all my parents could afford. Sophmore year I didnt play.. Years later i bought some J's.. Jordan 13's.. Most confortable sneakers ever.. At that time I really didnt play anymore, just bought them to try it out.. Ever since then, I've been buying J's.. Not as some people do.. But 1 or 2 pairs a year..I guess what Im really saying is, now that I can afford it.. Ill buy it... When I have friends over, i showed them my collection and they dont believe it.. Why ? I rarely wear them.. And some of them tell me is not my style.. I tell them, they are right.. But I do it for self gratification I guess.. And even maybe It makes me think of that Freshman year... Despite my feet hurting it was one of the greatest time of my life.. And To top it off.. I banged my first chick ever that same year, and I was wearing those damn voit sneakers ! Lmao..

Every pair of shoes I own have been worn at least once (lol I know that's not a lot) with the exception of my Jam Master J edition shell toe Adidas. I wear boots everyday for work so most of my shoes are worn on saturday or sunday and thats if i decide to go anywhere, i spend most of my time at home with the wife & daughter so a lot of time may pass in between wears. I have a few pairs of "beaters" that i wear on the regular but they are in really good condition compaired to some other peoples shoes.

Collecting Shoes has always been hobby of mine and I have made a lot of money back in the day reselling certain pairs of shoes. I have always had a passion and love for fashion, even though I've never cared to be a designer or anything like that but I always wanted to look my best and look "presentable" so to speak. Growing up my mom always said dont go out the house looking like someone left u somewhere. Cuz u never know who u might run into that could offer u an opportunity that would of passed u by otherwise. Now I know u can look presentable buying cheaper items, but I always liked nice quality shoes and clothes cuz I was just brought up wearing nice clothes and shoes. They weren't as expensive as some might be now but they're still nice quality, I never understood people wearing shoes with holes in them and worn past the rubber sole. Most people I see doing it are more then capable of buying another pair of shoes too, if ur too broke to buy another pair that's understandable but most just rather look bummy.

I never buy when I cant afford though, I refuse to live paycheck to paycheck over some shoes or clothes and the same goes for car parts. I make sure my bills and family are taken care of and I make sure I have money put away before I buy $150 pair of sneakers, if I know a pair of shoes are coming out at the end of the month I will usually take $50-$75 a paycheck to pay for the shoes instead of spending the whole $150 from one check.

I look at my shoe collection as some people might look at car parts, some rather have Rotas and some rather have Spoon. Id rather have Spoon... Just all personal preference
