I used to be a big sneakerhead. I've slowed down a lot. I'll cop some pairs here and there but if I miss something I won't trip like I used to. The price jump is ridiculous nowadays as well.

I was nice to go in the store to grab the Maroon 6's with no lines or drama. Kinda like the old days :wow:

I used to be a big sneaker head. But I slowed down a lot once we had to start waiting in line to cop. Sneaker game went out of control that year they dropped the Galaxy foams. I never was the type to rock only Js anyway plus I have just about every J Id want.

Still gotta get my hands on the Cement 4s tho :ohlawd:

Personally the last straw for me was when I found out that punk invested in the privatised prison industry... he knows who the prisons are built for... f... him :pacspit:

i break my jordans out occasionally (and i'm 38 years old). i have about 6 pairs that i bought years back. i don't wear them very often, though i have on some today. i bought all of the ones i had growing up (2,3,4,5, original colorways) and a couple of ones that i liked when i saw them in the store (spizikes and son of mars)

i have these on right now, though i haven't worn them in over a year before today...

all that said, i don't really care about jordans at all. i wear them sometimes because i already have them. my love is buying dress/casual shoes....wingtips preferably. it's what i wear 90% of the time.

Complex trying to dictate culture again :beli:

Jordans will continue to sell like hotcakes and not a thing will change that. Not every pair will be copped, that's probably the only difference in 2015.

I fukk with 11's, 5's and 1's and not all of them are hot or must haves so not all of them are copped. There are tons of trash releases that are never copped, and its always been that way. And it's not just Jordans. If Jordans stopped being produced tomorrow, there would be another type of kicks it fill its place. Air Max's, Forces, it would be something.
