To Double or NOT To Double

I was at a party and this drunk chick spilled her bright blue drink on my brand new lebron chamber of fear af1-complacency(light-grey suede like material w/ blue soles). It ruined the material and left a sick stain. Even back in my early teens, when I relied on my parents to buy me kicks once every 12 - 16 months, I finally got them to buy me a pair of jordans. I usually got cheap af1's or reeboks or something random, but not this time. I was lucky enough to get a pair of OG Columbia Xl's. Of course, during p.e., I changed into my beaters.........and when I came back to my locker.......someone had broken in and took them

. Anyways, the moral of the story is that sometimes unforseen, tragic s**t can happen to your kicks when you actually wear them. So that's why I double up on certain kicks...........just in case.

And finally, don't get me started on JB / Nike's declining quality these days. They might re-retro the same shoe again, but it might not be the same quality.

Man, you should double up on everything you cop because you have some bad luck with shoes

Sometimes, it's the clear sole rule like dude mentioned above me, other times I like to double up on "OG" colors....But I think it all boils down to on what I like the most....and funds.

I don't do it often. It depends on how much I like the shoe.

This is the truth. With the way shoes are being retro-ed and re-retro-ed in such a short span, it is absolutely pointless to double up or stock up on extras.
