late 20s but skating + yoga and you'll be back in business my friend
Man am I itching to grab a pair of AT LEAST the whites.
I just caught myself up on the last few pages of this thread and there's some nice debating there.
I am also a child who grew up with the Bones Brigade (pic of bones shirt on dog as credibility) and ever since I caught wind of this release, I've been stressing. At first I was pissed about hearing everyone copping just to annihilate the whole design and get breds and royals, but the more I think about it, seriously, to each their own. I'm 40 and I can promise you that, yes I will wear the sh**t out of these, but at the same time, my skateboarding days are long over so any scratches or chips will come from sitting in the bleachers watching my son's games, or wheeling my office chair over them on accident. Does that make me just as (insert negativity here) as those that are buying to immediately strip them? Possibly.
It's tough to admit, but Nike is absolutely genius the way they are releasing this shoe as it appeals to multiple groups of collectors. To me this release is even slicker than any other release I've been a part of (collecting is new to me, though)...Scratch off, bones brigade, Jordan, SB, Bred, Royal, super limited... damn!
Will I be jealous of those that cop if I don't, hell yea I will, but good for you. I'll just direct that saltiness to Nike for not making enough pairs to "go around".
Good luck to ALL OF YOU that want these (except for the extreme resellers that post pics of FSR's on their kitchen table the day after release)
