non I guessIMO...
A true Jordan head - will walk into the store rocking some beater retro 4s from like '04 that he's worn 2300 times, claim his pair of WC4's, immediately takes them out the box and puts them on feet, pays for them, and then proceeds to break necks as he walks out the store.
A true sneakerhead - will walk into the store sporting his force-fields filled SBB 1's...his gf will claim his pair of WC 4s, when the sales associate brings out the box he proceeds to take the shoes out the box and smells the shoes as he inspects them stitch by stitch, insole by insole. He pays for the pair using a footlocker card with $250 of store credit but not before he notices there's a tiny glue stain on the medial midsole and asks if he could do a left-shoe switch with another fresh pair but to no avail. He then manages to take a quick pic of the "defect" and posts it on NikeTalk before he walks out the store.
A true sneaker collector - will walk into the store sporting his vnds 2012 WC 4's, matchy like hell from head-to-toe, walk around the store doing some prime time window shopping at other sneakers before claiming and paying for his pair. As soon as he gets home, he immediately takes the shoes out the box, smells them, then carefully displays his new purchase next to his collection of Air Jordan 4s that runs 10 pairs deep, snaps a photo, posts it on IG, then puts the shoes back in the box, never to be taken out the box for at least a year as they remain on ice inside his closet. A week later, he doubles up on Eastbay, cops a pair of 72-10s on re-stock, and trades one of his extra pairs of Space Jams for Concords knowing that Space Jams will be releasing later this year.
A true hypebeast re-seller - will walk into the store sporting UA Yeezy 350's with two of his buddies who couldn't tell you how many championships Jordan won, all 3 of them will claim their pairs, pay for them with credit cards that are thisclose to being maxed out, and the re-seller will take pics of each pair as soon as he steps inside the car (with receipts in the foreground, shoes on the dashboard, and footlocker bags in the background). Within seconds, all three pairs are on Craigslist for $350 a pop talkin' about they sold out everywhere.
Which one are you?
I'll be camping outside after work wearing this and unds my black infrareds
