From a cost standpoint I have two great stories:
1) I walked into a nike outlet and got a piar of DS Black metalic II's for $14.99
2) I checked out the clearance rack of a Sports Authority about a year ago and got some Midwest XX's for $50
Crazy wise I have a great story on how I got my Grails:
Sr. year of High school '00-'01 I was not really heavy into the shoe game I would just check NT occasionaly but I wasn't a member yet and reallyonly had 2 pairs of Js (just didn't have the dough at the time). I went to CT on a college visit and stopped at a local mall near the school to get somelunch. Naturally I had to walk by the footlocker and see what was up. When I went in my jaw dropped when I saw some infant sized concords. I was like man Iused to dream about these back in '96 but could never attain them. I asked the dude if there were any adult sizes and he was like "nah sorry man thesesold out in minutes. And they dropped like a weeek ago" Luckily another employee overheard homeboy and he was like wait a min. what size are you? I toldhim 13 and he was like oh man today is you lucky day, about a half hour ago some dude returned these size 13s b/c he said they didnt' fit right. It was theonly pair in the store and obviously I copped in a heart beat. Sadly I've worn them to the point of beaters but I had an ill Sr Seson in those joints Avg19 PPG - It's gotta be the shoes.
I can't beleive that poor sap returned a crispy pair of Concords - what was he thinking? One mans loss is another mans gain though
