People forget that this shoe hit "A&N" stores due to defects... So I'll take a properly un-defective retro over the glitter...
I only pray they retro the black phoenix suns IVs and retro the Orlando IVs the right way.
They did it for the I, II, and now IIIs... But trashed the IVs with horrible repetitive colorways after early 2000s.
IVs are my fav. by the way, so I've been a saltbox....
The way the inner sock is and the tab in the back, which is only missing the "zoom air" text...

I know all those quotes are generic and "universal," but they are key.
If you applying for a credit card (not even mentioning the "credit crisis" going on currently), and you don't have any cash... Only way to succeed is to strategically buy items, record profits (via excel sheet), and keep going until you at a point you actually produced cash--so much cash--that your "loose" cash is x2 of the credit card limit... WITH the card already a $0.
From that point, the world is yours, if you remain discipline and [color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]consistent[/color], never going "too far" with your own purchases. I picked all this up from the streets of D.C.... Dealing with "real" hustlers... Not Nikie Barnes type clowns.
Most Americans (sneakerheads, etc.) call themselves "hustlers" but lack the consistent discipline to be respected as one. So, they are always in debt, or a minute away from going back into debt. Ask my wife, who is just starting to "get it" after 10 years of being with me...
I'm talking because I lived it...
And living it now.
A $1000 credit card from the summer of 1999 as a finishing freshman in college is now worth about $20k in CASH in one of my accounts, from flipping shoes as an employee at Flocker and Fline back in the day, predicting the "market" with my sales and buys, and continuing that trend. Just flipping sale items, items with my discount, etc. No stress. No lines. Connections made throughout the years.
$20 here... $40 there... $10 there... it adds up... As long as you ain't "ballin'" every chance you get.
And no, I'm not driving a "6" and I don't live on a golf course in Bowie, MD.
I'm happy, yet frugal. And my wife and daughter will never have a need if I was to drop dead now. It ain't that hard.
Big Kev's Tip Tips for the Day...
Signing off.
Do you.
cant believe you saved that much...
That's because you are thinking "short term" bra.
You do the math...
10 years.
20k.
Less than $170/month minimum to profit and save... and you not using your "own" cash... from credit card "floating" to using alreadyestablished profit money.
Ain't that hard... when you thinking long term.
ANYONE can save $170 month off GP. I believe that sincerely in my heart. People just refuse to when they have the opportunity.
are you still employed by footlocker?
Naw. I was only there as ptimer and stock dude until my internships. Still got great relationships with all the long term GOOD folks in thecompany. I got MANY in VCU, and got MANY out of shhh while a student at VCU. I pay next to nothing for kicks. That's the way life goes. All the goodfolks I knew at FLine are now long gone, and hate that company with a passion.
Daddy Warbucks up here is an exception.
