Best tips on how to accomplish this because I just started collecting and don't want to pay an extra 100 for every pair of shoes I want.
Actually shop retail, find a good shop, and wait if its something you want. Buy online once the hype dies on older shoes. You can find a good amount of shoes for retail and lower, that you may have wanted. Im looking at the Vac Tech Barkleys now for $99 and I have a 10% off code for that store. $89
When people link deals for kicks you want like LosLex did for them Uptempos, if you want the shoe then grab em.
If you cant get your size, buy and sell to get em (NOT TO BE A RESELLER). Galaxy weekend, I bought 10 shoes, sold 6, and had to buy my Big Bangs after I sold 2 in sizes that weren't mine. BUT I also ended up with Kobes and NRG Flight Ones (total spent was $120 on both). Same with the Cement 4s I bought too big twice, sold one on here, to Max, for a fair price (like $20 over retail + shipping) and then sold one on Craigslist for $230. Then I copped Military Blues for 1/2 price from the money I made on cements (Yes Cements was better but I never did get my size) fukk.
Find a Nike Outlet, Ross, Marshalls in your area. I cop Hyperdunks and other over produced Nikes for like $30. I got the Black and Gold Hyperdunks for $39, and my Black Elites for $209. Honestly... they look alike and feel alike.
Rambling now.
