How’s your Roth IRA looking these days?

Make sure to chip something into that bad boy every month.

And eat plenty of avocados.

…very important for arthritis and constipation as we head into our twilight years.

Pulled out my 06 3’s, I’m going to probably get these restored, crazy enough the soles are still in good shape. But I can’t wait for this wknd, I was put on the waiting list at DSG, however, I think I should be good at my local footlocker.

Excuse me for what I’m about to say. Just take that retro to the dump.

I was told my EA pair won't be here till the 15th lol they lady said their shipping is behind bad now...almost 2 weeks. I used to have my NDC orders like 2 or 3 days max after ordering. It is what it is. Crazy though how everyone will have em this weekend and my "early access" will be days after the public release lol

Damn I just read about that saw even the chrome 6s were in there. Need em!

 

[slaughterx]

Its always funny to me when people hid their face on this site like they are some kinda undercover celeb or something... but someone hiding their face in black in white HS game pics from the 90s... thats a first!

Anyway... these are just shoes to me. I am 37. Grew up in Chicago. Watched a lot of Bulls games with my dad back in the day... but I never owned a pair of Js until the 16s went on clearence because neither my mom or dad were paying that much for "gym shoes" back in the day. Honestly, I think I wanted More Uptempos more back in the day because I thought they just looked cooler, and I remember I did get the Pippin 2s when I was in 8th grade after doing a lot of begging in Chernins or whatever that big shoe store in Jewtown. I also remember my cousin getting a pair if hand me down Js back in the day (Bordo 7s I think) that she got covered in paint.

Anyway nowadays I over compensate to make up for the stuff I wanted as a kid... not just with shoes but with everything, so I have to set limits for myself in order to control things, and honestly I reached that limit long ago... so I think Ill probably just pass on these. Im actually thinking about getting rid of quite a few pairs because I have another baby in the way and honestly excess have kinda ruined the thrill of getting new pairs anyway. Im out!

Hopefully these ain’t any of the Fire Red 3 EAs… wild

 

[noblekane]

does footlocker and champs still charge shipping if you win the ship to me draw?

Yes I believe so

I been thinking about this kinda thing and how we all got our own “sneakerhead origin stories”. Guaranteed every dude with an insane collection has some sneaker-related trauma in his past, whether it’s gettin teased for wearing sh*tty shoes or badly wanting a shoe they just couldn’t afford. I know this applies to me at least lol

 

[charmcitykid]

These are a must cop by any means and probably 2 pairs. In '88 I was in 3rd grade. I had white and black Cements. Never had these in true og form. I had them in '06 and '13 and Katrinas and needless to say none of those can even come close to comparing so yea. 2 pairs!

42 and size 11 here. Looks like I’m in good company.
