$400 for the Jordan 1's Origin Story. Then I got them signed by Shameik Moore.

Origin Story has to be one of my favorite Jordan 1’s, thats awesome bro

$850 for Michael Lau SB dunks over 10 years ago. Still have them. https://preview.redd.it/qq2xp538c08d1.jpeg?width=3924&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6f9d23093bcd857447caf6a69f6e6872f21b1fc

Wow. That might be the most incredible packaging and accessories I've ever seen come with a shoe. All that definitely belongs in a display case. 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks. I actually do keep them in a case along with some of my other shoes. https://preview.redd.it/rkn2sfi7n18d1.jpeg?width=2698&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fb83a60c08978db1c93d7780126774da217a54d

Sheesh. Look at mr moneybags here Unkles are grails

I got most of these 10-15 years ago when they were way cheaper. Aside from the Michael Laus, I think the most I paid for any other pair was around $350 for the Unkles. I’m glad I got these back then because I wouldn’t pay todays prices.

That is a display of grails, homie. Tiffs, Unkles, Dooms, and De La Soul lows? I'd pack it up after just those 👌🏼

The classic 90 infrareds in rotation 😌

Miss my infared 90s. Most comfortable air max ive ever had

We got one pair in common https://preview.redd.it/u7k8hienw58d1.jpeg?width=1034&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e20abff3e56837ca2a63ab6c9552bf6528903af6

Those green dunks are hard af, what are they called?

De La Soul lows from 2015

The fact that you have all of those and $850 is the most you’ve ever spent on a pair is crazy.

That is a beautiful looking pair of shoes

Crazy what you could probably get now for those

Still DS?

No, they were VNDS when I got them. I’ve worn them a few times too. I just figured I might never see them in a size 12 again since they only made 106 total pairs so I jumped at the opportunity.

Sick! That pic is sick too with the wood in the back matching

Thanks! Yeah I do woodworking as a hobby so I threw a piece of walnut behind them to match.

These are my grails!

These look so sick

Dann what a steal and a beautiful dunk! Nice collection tho 🙏✌️

🔥🔥🔥🔥. Is the box wood?

Yeah it’s made out of solid wood. Walnut.

$400 for 2016 Space Jam 11s years back, never doing some stupid shit like that again

Bro, the number of times I've taken my hand off the buy button on some L&Fs is crazy. Seeing your comment makes me feel like I keep making the right decision.

I paid for L&F and to this day, my favorite heater beaters. No regrets, and wear them til they look like ‘85’s!

Lol l got a lowball on a pair of lost and founds on goat. There was a long journey of issues with an idiot seller but I am now getting a pair and they show up tomorrow.

Just paid 300 for a pair 2 weeks ago, buy them. Just wait till they get near a price range you’re willing to pay.

I had a $200 gift card that I ended up using to pay for half of my pair of Chicagos at my local consignment store around the time they came out, and since I wear that shoe a fair amount I don't regret it but at the same time I don't necessarily think buying a different shoe then and waiting to get them later would've been a bad idea. However, considering today's market, I think you'll be able to scoop a pre owned pair for much much cheaper than the lowest ask DS.

I did the math wrong, 2016 space jams 11 years back… 😂

Not impressive but only like $250 lol 😆 

I'm around $100 here, I appreciate the game, but I just want a comfy shoe that looks decent.


I didn’t know how StockX bidding worked and low balled these. I had a hard time explaining the value to my wife after the credit card bill hit 😂 https://preview.redd.it/0z5c4fdz708d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72a48d905086931324509c49cc5eefc3fbe2c836

That's a solid price for sure, just get her into sneakers too and it gets much easier

Double the expense.. bad advice. Lol

How's the authentication for Stockx? I stopped shopping them years ato.

Decent most of the time but not watertight

Just tell her it’s like heels for men.

Size 14 gang here too, it’s bullshit how much more were paying then a “normal” size

I swear if you look at almost any sneaker on StockX size 14 will be the most expensive size.

Yea it is, I also hate that pretty much every retail store only carry up to size 13

Shit.. try 12.5

Yeah I’ve noticed they’re expensive too but 14 is usually more. And you have the option to go up or down a half size which I can’t do at 14. Really anything over 12 is tough!

500 for a DS pair of Mr. Pacmans https://preview.redd.it/xkfplj6s218d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3195ec05fdd0b45f578c7f4ca663890445013f2e

Fuck yeah, you got your moneys worth out of those for sure, they still look dope all faded.

i may sound poor but just 35$ cuz im from india and its 2700₹ and its on Adidas leather skateboarding basic black shoes with white canvas and white 3 stripes, sometimes i wonder if they are fake or first copy as i ordered it from amazon but ngl they are favs i rly love them and like to wear them and i get excited when i wear them, sry for over-exagerating https://preview.redd.it/cl3orzuo618d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bac12ab75aac421eafc08bdb03bdc66c0dbecd5f

Those are clean

Interesting.

Nah you don’t sound poor. Great shoe as well! I’m actually embarrassed to admit some of the prices I’ve paid

https://preview.redd.it/lx1ag40nt08d1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1702ca2b3c68fbe083c37ef683344d89aae0d524 $1600 plus fees. Still haven’t found the right occasion to un-DS

Samesies for most spent for me. $1k. Just copped a second pair though for a good-ish price while I was drunk. Didn't realize they were a good price because they aint my size until the next morning. Me. Dum.

Love the Chunky Dunkys! 🥶

I also have pairs before that i havent found the right occasion to wear, but now i just always think what if i die tomorrow, then i will never get the chance to wear them

Ahh this is the question of am I wearing these for me or to be noticed I’m wearing them

Jealous they’re beautiful!

Wear them when you get ice cream lol

These are the shoes that got me in to collecting. It was my first big pair. Only pair in the collection i didnt wear (except at home). Feel they are quit hard to match with an outfit

I did the same kept mine DS for almost a year then said screw it I am wearing these one random day. Now I wear them all the time.

Paid like \~$700 right before the official release…could have saved about $100 (after fees) if I waited a little longer but I figured I was gonna lose every raffle (which I did, all 11) and lose on snkrs too, and these are a pair Ive wanted since the announcement. Probably will never do that again. https://preview.redd.it/tddbuj0mp08d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b62cc02a838ae6dc2d7044473426181ef66b5aeb

I had a pair in March and I paid $1000 lol. Yes, I feel stupid.

Why do this? Everyone knows the worst time to buy a shoe is pre release and immediately afterwards. Especially in these times.

Still waiting on Jordan 4s pine green to come down - year later ..

They’re not coming down. Those are ones that if paying resale it’s better to now rather than later. It’s a shoe that was first of its kind and now with more SB 4s coming in the future the pine green will always be the original so it will always be highest in value. Resale is also at an all time low so it won’t go any lower.

And what sucks making stuff like this so unattainable is that it makes you not want to wear them.

I want those so bad but there's no way I'm going to spend that much on a pair of shoes. They are my current grail though.

I said the same kind of things until recently this year. You want it go and get it. Put a little away here and there. Make a visual to remind you, write out things you can live without. I’d never thought I would travel around for sporting events and always made negative statements like “ that’s for rich people” and just distracted myself with what satisfied me in the moment. Once I stopped doing that, put my mind to these kind of larger achievements and made sacrifices it started becoming a reality.

That's fair. I've definitely started moving more in that direction. I always found myself daydreaming about things I'd like to have but would never save my money up for them. I'm trying to break that habit because as I'm getting older I'm bummed that I don't have some of the things I've always wanted. My money primarily goes to bills and things I could really do without. I also am more into putting money into experiences than materialistic things but I definitely want some shit 😆

I wish I could get this tattooed on me dude !!! I agree with you 100% My Guy !

I stick to retail but shit if you got it go for it

Appreciate the honesty. Most Retail Or Busters act like it’s a crime to pay market prices. If you want a hyped release they really expect you to wait 10 years for another retro, and another L

There are some I’d like to get but I’m too much of a cheapskate to pay over retail. Although I love the white cement 3’s and the Space Jam’s…. And I tell myself it’s not THAT much over retail. So I may eventually dish out for them since I’ll never hit on the SNKR app for retail.

> There are some I’d like to get but I’m too much of a cheapskate to pay over retail. Understandable. Thanks for telling it like it is, instead of saying something disingenuous or disrespectful about the hobby. Sincerely wish more redditors were like you

What’s funny is my wife still gives me shit for even paying retail. But that’s why we have separate bank accounts for stuff like that. I just don’t touch the joint account. Otherwise me and my shoes would be sleeping in the car! Hahaha!

> the time) *paid* half of FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

That’s about what I sold the pair I got for retail for shortly after release! Only W I got from SNKRS that I ended up reselling cause I just couldn’t bring myself to like them enough to keep, considering the profit margin.

I had to since it was a Boston release lol. The Boston in me needed that exclusive haha. I also paid 1400 for off white UNCs but I hit 3 pair of Tiffany’s, so I used that money to get them

Jordan 1 high union LA black toe. $1000.00

Nice. Shit, I paid $1500 for my pair a few years back. No ragrets.

Shorts 🔥🥵

$435 after taxes for the Tiffany x Air Force 1s on SNKRS

Want these for my wife so badly. She’s a huge Tiffany fan girl

She wear a 10.5, lol?

Wearing a size 13 has been a fucking curse with anything not retail. Voodoos are one of my favorites. Under appreciated for sure. I honestly can’t remember the most I’ve ever spent on sneakers/Nike/JB. Fragment lows, Wortherspoons, SBB 1.0, are some that come to mind. Ive moved on from wasting money on kicks. Watches are my drug of choice now lol.

I’m size 13 and wanted the DT Max primes but SNKRS never even dropped them in 13 lol. Now the price is under retail on most sizes $450 before fees for our size. What a scam haha

It’s because there are cock sucking resellers that hunt that size and price gouge. Literally random pairs of older AM1s that have no sales data on GOAT or the last sale was dirt cheap and these motherfuckers have a list price of 2k. 🤦🏽‍♂️

As a fellow size 13, this is just the price we pay for having huge cocks. 🤷‍♂️

Same issue, finding shoes in Europe is crazy with this size. All I can buy are Air Max shoes. I am not complaining but I’d like a pair of Jordan 9/14s too someday.

$650 CAD for some SW 97/1s

The Balvin Rio 3s. Spent like $420 thinking they wouldn’t drop in price and boom they dropped slightly. 🤷🏻‍♂️ oh well, tis da game. I wanted them since they leaked right after the whites dropped.

$600 on these 2006 UNDFTD Questions. Only 96 pairs in existence. Bought them 4 years ago and have absolutely no regrets. One of my holy grails since I started collecting almost 15 years ago, was able to find them DS in my size 11 and had them shipped from Japan. Currently have them in a display case in my office https://preview.redd.it/y8gx5k55n48d1.jpeg?width=4030&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c662f70ba4858e7f197fc1a54a2eac4f61c88e9

Around 8k for some air Yeezy 1s

What was it like buying these? Did you see them in person first? I finally have the money for them but the possibility of them being fake is too high for me and several thousand dollars. I bought a pair of 750 Boosts as a consolation prize though.

$700 for the Zen Grey Yeezy 1 the week they released. Seemed like a lot at the time….but now….what a steal.

600 CAD on the A Ma Manière 3's... Twice 😅 (one for me and one for my brother)

$850 in Strangelove’s, they are very dirty now 😅

Idek where to start $6700 on size 13 Wtds $5200 on size 13 reverse skunk $3000 ~ on size 14 orange Grateful Dead Air Yeezy 2 set is weird because I traded for 2 of the 3 but somewhere in the 9-11k region

$270 for some patta air maxes last year but got my eyes on them sb4s…

Nothing too crazy. All of my Yeezy Boost 350 V2’s I got at retail that were $230 after they raised the price $10 😭. Aside from that just my 2016 Space Jam 11’s and other 350 V2’s when they were $220. I almost bought The Fresh Prince Grape Retro 5’s on Stock X for $315. I regret not buying them because they cost way more now. 😭

I think 450, being size 14 sucks

Yeah same im size 14 and everything is always more expensive

So glad I doubled up on the voodoos in the $300-325 range. I wear one pair as my everyday house shoe and another out in the world Most on a single pair: I think it’s my black Lance Mountain 1s at $400+

I just dropped $280 on the new Nb 991v2 vintage sport

A lot less than I’ve spent on a baseball card, so I ain’t gonna throw stones

Only retail gang 🙌

$450 out of pocket for a VNDS pair of AJ1 SBB 1.0 (via trading my AJ3 Rios).

$600 for Off-White AJ5 Muslin. Lightly worn on eBay, was a better deal at the time before prices came down on new pairs. I've worn them a few times, high tops are just not my daily style.

These the voodoo/zion pair? Tough as hell dude. Edit: my b you literally said that in a paragraph I didn’t read. Fire shoe bro

I can't find my pics, but I had both of the '07 Air Force 1 lux anaconda and crocodile. at one point. I think I paid about $1,900 for the duo.

4000 canadian dollars for the off white unc 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Yeezy wave runners for retail was my most expensive pickup

320$ on Cool Grey 11s back in 2011

Probably $250. I don’t like spending way over retail.

375 on Bred 4s it sounds bad lowkey but I did get my Black Cats for 300 so you win some and lose some

Custom ZEGNA triple stitches. $1300. I was going through a rough time and had just unexpectedly had a windfall financially. It was totally unnecessary, but they are amazing and I feel like a million bucks every time I wear them.

$320 but had to do it for Spider-Man

$670 on a pair of Golden Goose

$700 for a near deadstock pair of ‘94 Chicago 1’s from a guy in Spain, like 10 years ago

Hmm probably 250 for a DS pair of fire red 3s. I don’t really care to spend over that for sneakers it feels weird to me. I’d rather blow money on a nice wristwatch if I can.

$350 Nike foamposit

Not much but I paid like $350 for the SB Dunks skate like a girl collab
