I’ve never thought of going after shoes for trade bate.
…most of the time I strike out on shoes that might have any trade value

This is where taking advantage of discounts help. Granted the shoe market isn’t want it used to be but the goal isn’t only for a straight trade. Anything you can do to bring that price down to a manageable out of pocket price.

I'd probably have to save for like 3 years, but pigeon dunks, Heineken dunks, and black KAWS 4's

Kaws 4 is one I do regret passing on and not paying the troll toll up front. I don’t think I’ve ever paid over 4 bills on a shoe though. Also hit on stuff like Banned 1’s (2x) for $110, Red Octobers, SBB’s (2x), OW Muslin 5’s, Supreme 5’s, ‘15 Chicagos (3x).
I don’t think there’s any shoe I’d pay thousands for at any point though. Other than Jordan 1’s, dunks, etc there aren’t many shoes that have decades long lifespans and I never got into sneakers due to the aftermarket value. I think it’s more fun hitting on some big ones and keeping it moving if you don’t.

I'm waiting on my grails to be retro'd because they're all about 20 years old and I'm not paying outrages prices for a shoe that needs to be restored.

Red October’s can be had in all types of condition from $4000-$12k. One of the people I’ve used to source and buy shoes from (goes by wolfkicks on IG) probably has a pair or 2 for sale every other week. He’s actually for a pair of 11.5s for sale right now
for $5k
I’ll say this though, once you crack a threshold on what your willing to pay for a shoe, even if the intention is just to buy one shoe, it gets harder and harder to put a cap back on what you’re willing to spend on the next grail. Cause it never stops at one.

Yeah, but honestly I'd only buy one pair for 5 years to save for them. Just the colorway, story, design, and release history interest me. The price is normally $40,000 so I will probably never spend that unless I become filthy rich.

lol nah they really only fetch 12-15k new in a size 11. Also I sold mine within 48 hrs of arriving for 6k. Zero regret there.

Red October’s eventually crumble right? At least with 1’s, they don’t crumble. I would love ow 1 Chi’s but those things yellow bad.

the solar yeezy 2s for me, lil over 10 years ago I had a brand new size 11 in my hand @ a sneaker show w a crispy box receipt etc & managed to talk down the dude to 1.8k, I was $200 short and he was def willing to take a trade on top to offset but I didn't think to bring any trade bait w me @ the time. this is when I had well over 200 pairs & I was kicking myself. ended up copping a couple other things that day & never circled back for them as they kept climbing. still haunts me

They're not really my style, but the Solars are my favorite pair of the early models.
...only 6-7 grand if you want to start saving!

I'm going to France soon and want to get some shoes that I can wear all day and can match any outfit. I'm thinking Black Cement or Off-Noir 3s, maybe black canvas 4's, Metallic or Oreo 5's, or Jubillie 11's. Any other thoughts/opinions?

Yep, and Air Yeezy 1s are already crumbling so it won’t be long until it starts with the 2s.

Yeah I'm only doing grails like Dunks and I's that can't fall apart. I saved to get Frags but once I got close to the asking, I couldn't hand it over in right mind for those. I saw someone say save for 3 years.. after all that time, I would feel like the shoe might not even be worth it to fork it over 
subjective of course lol.
