same...to make it worse I always had a habit of buying 2 pairs for the ones I copped that were hard to get...ended up selling the whole collection used/new for a decent amount tho...close to 50 pairs in total...this year made me realize how much bullshyt emphasis I place on material items that I really don’t give a fukk about...just buying shyt to say I have it...the quality of jordans nowadays aren’t even that good and I’ve heard a lot of stories of the soles ripping off if you store them too long even if you don’t wear them
I got rid of damn near all my nike sbs and jordans when I moved from NYC to Denver. A lot of them were just sitting in boxes after 12+ years of not being worn and I was wondering what was even the point of having them just to have them. I was getting sick and tired of paying money to keep the storage unit they were in open cause at that point I was barely getting by and could barely afford to live in NYC anymore.

I just grew out of the whole sneakerhead thing. I still love sneakers, but I'm done with all the hyped drops. I used to get Nike SBs flowed from skateshops for skating or got them for cheap. I never paid more than $100 for nike sbs. But damn...them Jordans...are always above $150.

I feel I outgrew the need for materialism to shape my whole life. My new crib is very minimalist in nature. I don't need much to be happy, as long as I got two turntables and a mixer and a laptop and some speakers I'm good.

I wanna say bottle service but right now it would be so lit :francis:
I did that shyt for my 23rd birthday. It was worth it for me but granted we split the bill so I didn't spend as much as we could have. Having your own section is good if you got a favorable ratio in your group because you can go around the rest of the club but you will always have someone to dance with back at the section.

Wait. So then whats the point in paying premium for airpods if your gonna connect wires to em'.

Plenty of quality wired earbuds can be gotten for a lot less than airpods.

airpods pros really falling outta everyones ears like that? They always feel like they're just barely hanging on for me but the only time they've fallen out is when i've done dumb shyt like take off a hoodie while wearing them. Was tempted to get the beats pro just for running.

Power beats are so low they would be perfect if they were louder !!!!

They were so comfortable but I couldn’t take how low the volume was .
