Exactly... I may have 8 pairs in my collection that were release from 2006 to present... Everything else is stuff that I worked hard to find andpaid for with the money I made from selling impulse buys and paintings. But, in the passed year and a half to two years I have sold EVERY impulse buy I evermade. Every single one! With all the money I generated from those I ended up picking up alot of good stuff with money I saw as "dispossable." Kindasucks now that I have sold everything that was "crap" though, cus when I want to buy some shoes, I'm not sitting on a pillow of dispossablepaypal income now. lol Basically I would rather have 1 nice $300 pair that I have been searching for, wanting for a while, that doesn't come around often,than have 7 $50 pairs I picked up because they were available. This is taken to the grave! Something alot people need to realize. When it donged on me, it waslike a weight lifted off my shoulders. Because now I dont look at ebay get overwhelmed and have a watchlist full of crap shoes that are ending for cheap andfeel like I have to have every single one. I look at ebay and maybe find 1 pair, maybe, and thats it (minus the DJAM listings.) Keep to the quality 2005 andback. When shape and materials were something you NEVER had to worry about. If you look back, there wasnt really a bad release back then...Originally Posted by El Bro

Nice 1s, El Bro.
Thats exactly what I have been following for a while. Which is why the majority of my collection is Pre 2005.I love Real leather and Great Quality, and thats whats really makes a shoe worth the price.

I am slowly building back what I need and taking the same mindset. I am never one to pull "impulse" buys but I do buy things that I end up not wearing or liking for whatever reason. That is why I usually turn things over so much.
Anyhow, wore these during the holiday and actually ran a 5K in them...comfy as hell!
What up Tyler...Originally Posted by spacej23
