I just think it's none of anyone's business what someone is willing to pay for a shoe. I have two friends, both sneaker lovers. One dude makes $35k a year and another is making $130k a year. The guy who makes $35k a year tends to go through drastic measures to get his shoes, 1) staying up till early morning to try to buy online releases 2) lining up 3) waiting for restocks.dont forget to add that he'll have the shoes and the dude not willing to pay wont. which means less ig, facebook, tumblr pics and what-not and you know some cant have that
The other guy maing $130k doesn't bother wasting time lining up or sitting by his computer during online releases/waiting for a restock. He just goes out and buys whatever shoe he wants if he feels the market value is worth it.
I'm not gonna judge either one of them. The guying making $35k brags about getting his shoes for retail, but we laugh cause time is money and the guy making $130k makes more money per hour than the money saved for the time spent by the guy who makes $35k spent trying to get his shoes for retail.
Getting shoes for retail is always a good thing, and I congratulate any sneaker enthusiast who can get a shoe like this at retail in this kind of chaotic sneaker environment......but some dudes just dont have time to deal with it.
This should be posted on every single thread. The amount of banter that goes on about, "what another man does with his money" is crazy.!! Every thread is riddled with this cancer.
Thank you for posting that and breaking it down.
