Man, anybody else get slight buyers remorse everytime they purchase kicks? I just pulled the trigger on the Bruce Lees that finally hit clearance on NDC with eBates and 25% off which is an amazing deal, but still feel the buyer's remorse. It's not like I can't afford to purchase kicks, but I always get that feeling after placing an order. 

Yes, it just means that you didn't really NEED them. I feel the same way, but then again I copped 2 pairs

bruh...me too, i had the BHM's and thought i'd be cool with that. then eulogies were had for about 140 and that made me feel the same way (buyer's remorse). THEN the BL's were had at a killer deal gahhhhhhhh

I think I'll return the Eulogies and ball in the BL's

P.S. I would've also purchased two as well if I had that Swoosh discount like @NickFolarin  

 Dude got two pears for $140.

Holy hell! Black horse??
I like these better than the FTB (colorway wise)

Hmm judging by the previous releases, shouldnt the black horse come in black shoe box?

THIS. I learned to pass up shoes I like, even on discount, for shoes I REALLY want. I figure I'd rather have 5 shoes i LOVE and prob spent a lot for than 20 shoes I liked on discount. That 125 or so you spent on NDC clearance you could have put toward some shoes you REALLY wanted (like some FTB, older kobes or rare Jordans). I sold half my old collections of shoes and replaced them with a few shoes I really wanted.

Very good point. I'm skeptical those are the Black Horse. Plus, it would have a stitched Nike swoosh.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

They're nice but still take the FTB over it

I would too.

So true. I've talked myself out of coppin them all day and I see all sizes still there for the Lee's, I just know if I cop I'll have buyers remorse. Even though it's such a sick sick colorway and I have to have it.
I notice when I do cave and cop and have buyers remorse, I become angry all day towards everyone and I can't stop thinking about it saying damn u really didn't need em lol does this also happen to anyone else?

 

[ballyeaz]

this hobby is expensive lets face it. i probably have close to 6-8k worth of shoes just sitting in my closet. 

i've reached the point where it actually feels better being able to restrain myself into buying another pair or skipping/missing a major release....than being able to cop! you just cant buy all of them...good price or not

 

[quame]

I feel the remorse sometimes but every now and then I just cave...

Well, I really wanted the Bruce Lees, and was hoping they would hit clearance before I considered buying since I don't think the Kobe XIs are worth $200 (don't kill me). When I saw the 25% off clearance promo code and the 9% eBates, I couldn't pass it up. But even with the 25% + 9% off clearance price, I still have buyers remorse after the purchase. 

 DAMN IT. This might really be my last pair of shoes for the year. It has to be 

  I buy all these kicks and I rarely get a chance to wear them. 

 

[ballyeaz]

i just miss the days when you can cop kobe's for $50-$70...nowadays $100-$120 is a good price for a shoes smh

i think got all my kobe 1s for $50-$60...i still remember bargaining prices for my first kobe 1s at this mom and pop store in lakewood mall lol!

Image didn't come thru? What happened to parkers?

 

[snewkirk80]

looks like more black horse (?) pics... i think he is saying he's glad he didn't pick up the Parkers cuz those black horses are bout to hit

 

[mastralf]

I say better buyers remorse than regrets for not picking up your pair. That regret is something you can't undo at least for a decent price lol

 

[redraider806]

thapointguy can you fix your pics? What are they of?

 

[snewkirk80]

oops

 

[thapointguy]

Fixed.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]
