^That is a really interesting remark, it's always funny what people remember about you. I used to slang that vintage and a few SBs/newer releases here and there. A lot of my collection was built on reselling, plus I always pared my collection down by selling a few personal pairs here and there (still do). Me and Donjuan513 separately cleaned out some Chicago spots in the pre-boutique era, and even though we were done with them it is interesting to note that my two favorites have closed down within the last year (both Korean mom n pop stores).
One thing I will say as a size 13/12 guy though: Very little in my collection came from digging. I found SO MUCH HEAT in OTHER PEOPLE's sizes that I was more heated than anything from a lot of my searching, although most of the money went to buying heat in my own size. I used to collect sizes that weren't my own because of this but I got tired of it. I probably have maybe.....like two vintage shoes in my collection remaining that came from digging. -Ruf
Man, there are 3 or so pairs that I have to find someday. I have zero clue how you have put together this much size 13 heat. But it's all respect on myend. You have definitely stayed true to your roots. You and I been talking about OG forces for way to long.
