Jordan Retro 3 “Powder Blue” - Jan. 18, 2014 (NO BUYING, SELLING, TRADING)

at the end of the day i hope one day i will be in that position to pay extra and not think about looking around to save 50-100$. If im really successful Id laugh at someone telling me I should have went on ebay and saved 100$ or something like that.
 
Great elephant print day today.  I got the 3s from Shoepalace and the yellows from Jimmy Jazz.  Highlights for me on the 3s are the tumbled leather and the textured sock liner was like a huge bonus.  I didn't know it had that.  Blue inner air bubble is awesome too.  I'm not gonna say much about the yellow son of mars because this is a blue 3s thread, but I think they are underrated.  Anyhow, its nice to order from SP if you are on the west coast.  It came in 2 days with free shipping.

At the end of the day I'd rather spend that money on myself or for a good cause. Not just give it away to some chump for no reason.
I've been rich. I've been poor. I'm doing pretty good for myself presently. I've learned a lot through my ups n downs and giving money away just because I can is, and always will be, idiotic.
Being good at money management is the opposite of being a sucker.

most of the time wealthy people are also the thriftiest.. wealthy/successful people aren't there because they just throw money away.

The wealthiest people I know are also the most thriftiest as well. Some l know say these wealthy people are stingy, but I know that's one of the reasons they are successful.
Although these people I know aren't NTers. They haggle and shop around on their mansions, luxury car and small/large business expenses.

HAH yes I know I will get crap for those haha but yes, I do like them.

Question about the leather on the 3s... 

Will I need to use a nubuck/suede cleaner for these if they get dirty?

To each their own man, i personally got the green glow SOM and love em dude. I know we both catch heat from collectors but who cares. IMO theyre a great hybrid shoe of some of my favorite jordans, plus theyre a nice everyday beater if the weather sucks and you dont wanna **** up your nicer J's. My only problem with the SOM's is the back retro4 pull tab, the back of the shoe isnt tall enough for it, causing it(for me at least) to dig into the back of my ankle/leg/tendon which really sucks/is annoying.
