I don't understand all of the hate lately. Who cares how much people drop on forces? Who cares if they get them from ebay, Japanese websitesor older collectors? Why do any of these things matter? All I care about is if the other people in this thread love kicks as much as I do. This threadisn't about impressing other people. It's about appreciating AF1's and sharing our passion for this hobby. And even if people enjoy getting propsfrom others in this thread for their collections or pickups, that's their prerogative. Who doesn't like being complimented, whether its directed towardtheir sneakers, looks, intelligence, etc? I hate to break it to some people, but all of us live in the world WITH other people. No one in here is livingsecluded in a cave or in a forest. If you were, you probably wouldn't be on the Internet. That means you impact and are impacted by others. This meanssometimes you're trying to impress someone or someone is trying to impress you. It also means at some point in your life you've wanted what someoneelse has. It's called human nature. The ignorance on this board astounds me sometimes. I swear, nonsense like this has been getting to me lately. If youdon't like the thread, then stay out of it. If you think the thread is jacking up prices, too bad. Even if it does raise prices, being able to share mypassion with other people who enjoy it is worth it to me (and by the existence of this thread it appears to be worth it to others). Besides, collectibles (suchas baseball cards, sneakers, and a million other things) tend to jump in price as they get older (especially something like sneakers, which greatly dwindle innumbers due to people wearing them). If you think you're going to pay $50 for a pair of relatively popular sneakers that dropped 5 years ago thenyou're crazy.
I'm tired of ignorant people acting like they know everything about everything. Who cares? Get a life. If you're getting forces for $50, great. Go patyourself on the back and do a dance.
I'm done with my rant.
peace.
