I've learnt that it's part of (life) being a sneaker-head or even a tech-head, you WILL buy things you'll regret at some point and it wont be your last time
Totally understand what you mean with these regrets. When I started buying sneakers in 2020 I wanted a whole bunch of pairs and thought I’d wear them all but it’s impossible to have 20-50+ pairs and wear everything so I’m trying to sell off like 5 or 6 pairs so I can get some money back and tighten up the collection with pairs I really love and will wear a lot
I took a break from sneakers in 2016 or so and since I've come back, I tried to follow the old school sneakerhead way of tracking down releases I missed that I really liked. The feeling of hunting it down feels so good.
@3:00 some of my 350’s became my around my house shoes/put on at the end of the day/night shoes (especially on days i wear higher end shoes i dont wanna mess up-eg. jordan 1 off white UNC’s or travis x Fragments) because they dont crease
This happened to me and the Strawberry Milk dunks, they were suppose to be a Social Status Store exclusive so I paid around $400 for them and 2 weeks later they released everywhere.
I have those shoes as well. In the process of selling some of them. I actually got that same pair of 380s for like a $100 under retail off StockX. It was a fantastic deal.
I was helping my friend hit on the Jade Horizon 5's on SNKRS. We both ended up hitting on them and he convinced me to keep them even tho I hardly had anything in the rest of my wardrobe that I can pair with them. After 3 wears I let them go. Gave someone a good price on them, but I shouldn't have spent the money in the first place.
Always happens. There's always shoes you regret selling and those you want to sell. I just offloaded a pair of Jordan 1's last week which I'd worn maybe 5 times since January 2021, and have re-spent the money on a pair of 2002R Mirage and Onyx Yeezy Slides, both of which I've already worn more than five times..
I seriously got into sneakers about 2 years ago, and since then I made a point to never pay over retail. So far I haven’t caved in lol. If I don’t hit a raffle I’ll just move on.
If you’re only paying for what you hit on retail, given 2 years time your collection must be pretty weak. I’m not saying to spend crazy money on resell but any serious collector has to pay over retail to build a nice collection
Jordan 6 DMP's and Yeezy 350's Beluga V2 the recent reflective ones. Impulse buy and people were hyping them up, never wore them. Gave the 6's to my sis and trying to sell the belugas
Elliot man, no homo but you got a charm to your style of videos. Maybe be its that u rub off extremely friendly but this video was super relatable. Definitely made me feel better about impulse sneaker purchases Iv made myself though I've gotten better at that now. 🔥 vid bro. Make this a series.
I most definitely have multiple pairs of sneakers that I regret buying. Thankfully most of them aren’t expensive. However, I do have two pairs of Yeezy 700 Boost V2 Mauve that I need to sell. I bought the wrong size twice! 🤦🏾♀️
I use to have this issue all the time then I started cutting back on how many i bought as well as selling my collection. I love sneakers more than alot of things but at the end of the day they just sit and collect dust. I love money more so i sold all 98 pairs and restarted. Now I set a max of 10 pairs so when I get to 11 i just sell 1 or 2 and get some new ones in the rotation. Ive never been happier
98 is a crazy number and so much money. Only someone with money or maybe if you collected them over ten years I can see them affording it. That’s crazy but congrats you are able to have such a high amount of shoes.
Those OW 5s are some of my favs hands down but I can't bring myself to pay what they are going for on the resale market after running thru my OG pair that I copped for retail
Agree with everyone except the OW5s. Throw em on foot and they’re so 🔥. You just felt what it’s like to be a size 13 for a little bit. Prices are double in everything. I hate it. Love the content
My most regretted sneaker was the 2 pairs of yeezy 500s I bought and, unsurprisingly, sold at a loss. I went TTS on the first pair, then a half size up on the second they still felt too snug. Not to mention it's honestly just not a wearable shoe above a size 10 and I probably would have never worn my 12.5 bone whites regardless. My 350s however, I simply couldn't live without. The comfort and simplicity of the V2s more than makes up for their arguably gaudy, somewhat dated design.
Nike air force supreme in the wheat colorway,, thought they were cool but not my style,, worst part is supreme sent them to me in a replacement nike box for whatever reason and now I can't even sell them with everything OG because they are missing the OG box
I don’t buy sneakers at resell, but the pair I regret buying was the KAWS blazer low I the team red colorway. I don’t really mind the shoe, it’s just a little busy and can look like a clown shoe at times. I also bought the dark marina blue Jordan 1 and it’s still sitting in the box DS. I thought I could sit on them for a while and they would have decent resell value, but I was sorely mistaken lol. Might just have to put them on feet if I can find a fit to wear with them.
I have the patent leather j1, and I use it every week. Someone told me my shoe is good but most of them say it sucks and why I buy them?? .. but my answer is I like the shoe, and I love unique shoes 😅... They have the mix feeling about the shoe. It's like they can't stop asking about the shoe.
Man, can relate so hard to the mono mist… was one of my first sneakers and I thought omg yeezy let’s buy em. I really dislike how they looked when I got em. Ended up selling them at a huge loss….
Bro, I'm regretting some of your purchases due to price. I've been wanting some reflective Yeezys but can't find myself paying aftermarket pricing since I got 2 pairs at regular price.
I feel you man. My regrets have been LeBron purchases. I don't even hoop anymore but I thought maybe these will get me going. Nope. And his shoes aren't casual wear either. So they just sitting
i bought off white presto's in black for 1.2k€, when virgil passed, with the same thought you had. now they are back to 750-800€ish and i also had the jordan 1 black patent, even doubled up on them, thinking i might wear them to special occasions, at the end i sold them for 40€ loss each.
My recent regret is the NoTwoWays Lacuna. I don’t regret the shoe it self but the size I bought. Sized up not knowing their sizing when I needed to go down. Way to big which is a shame because the shoes are dope looking.
My man, hold those Yeezy Compact Slate Red another year and you'll be wearing them all the time. Do yourself the favor and buy a vintage Russell Athletic hoodie in Red to fit with it now. The red Russells go for the absolute lowest right now, pity all I look for are grey or black lmao
I bought a pair of Simpson vans when they first came out I had 2 but sold one but the pair I currently own I just don’t like I have the slip ons with everyone on them and I just don’t like wearing them mainly because I don’t like vans shoes like that and they just don’t fit what I wear
I’d contact Adidas about the 350 boost - I feel they may give you a refund if you return them. I had a basic pair of adidas shoes that began to wear quickly - I contacted adidas and they gave me a full refund 👍🏽
My regret was to buy air jordan 4 zen master , it's really not comfortable and it cost me 306 and my best shoes was to buy adidas ultra boost triple red , it's sooo comfortable and it lock catchy
I don’t even collect sneakers, I just enjoy your contact. But it’s funny to see people in other hobbies, doing the exact same thing that everyone does.
i got mummys for 380 and they are tight in the toe box on the sides . do you think that if i wear them enought theyll fit ok or should i sell and buy half a size bigger
Damn I love the off white fire red 5s so much! That foam lining makes them very comfortable. The color way I actually like more than the metallics 2! I'm sorry you regret them homie 😔
You don’t really have a sneaker “collection” until you have at least 6 regret pairs 😂. Another great video - not sure how missed it last year. Must be time for the 2023 version!!
I've learnt that it's part of (life) being a sneaker-head or even a tech-head, you WILL buy things you'll regret at some point and it wont be your last time
Yeah very well said
I so regret buying soo many tech things, not at the same point with sneakers yet
not necessarily anything i ever buy i dont regret would i have maybe gotten something instead sometimes but i never regret buying anything
Agreed,i bought just a lot of stuff for an insane amount of money which i really regret buying now
It's how any hobby goes really. It just happens sometimes
Totally understand what you mean with these regrets. When I started buying sneakers in 2020 I wanted a whole bunch of pairs and thought I’d wear them all but it’s impossible to have 20-50+ pairs and wear everything so I’m trying to sell off like 5 or 6 pairs so I can get some money back and tighten up the collection with pairs I really love and will wear a lot
Yeah better to have quality over quantity & you’ll end up wearing/enjoying them more
@@elliotpage_ exactly. The huge collections are awesome, but I can’t justify spending the money many shoes cost and never use them 👍
Elliot never ceases to amaze me with the consistency of his videos they just keep getting better.
Gotta buy them Buddy
Man you’re a legend, appreciate you massively ❤️🔥🙏👊
@@elliotpage_ Bro i just clocked you have a brother on yt aswell
Bro you should make a full sneaker collection video! Love the content by the way!
I agree!!!!
Yes we should get a full sneaker collection
Yes please
Definitely 💯
Got something in the works
I took a break from sneakers in 2016 or so and since I've come back, I tried to follow the old school sneakerhead way of tracking down releases I missed that I really liked. The feeling of hunting it down feels so good.
I like these type of videos nobody ever seems to be honest about what they don’t like in their collection
I have the mono mist and they actually hurt to wear, it’s mad how different they feel compared to other 350’s
Lol I have the mono Mist too. got them for 20% below retail. I like them. They look cool in the sunshine and mine don't have creases lol.
I personally love my UNCs and wear them often but I definitely agree that they do go with certain styles.
@3:00
some of my 350’s became my around my house shoes/put on at the end of the day/night shoes (especially on days i wear higher end shoes i dont wanna mess up-eg. jordan 1 off white UNC’s or travis x Fragments) because they dont crease
I got a few myself when I started shopping online not really knowing what I was doing too
Love the positivity and smiles, I bought the OW blazer low for 240 off goat, they’re sitting under retail rn🤦♂️
I paid 238 lol
@@chicocheeks9633 glad I’m not the only one🤦♂️😂
This happened to me and the Strawberry Milk dunks, they were suppose to be a Social Status Store exclusive so I paid around $400 for them and 2 weeks later they released everywhere.
As someone who’s frequently in a suit, I kinda love those patent leather 1’s
I love your channel!
3:37 Those patent leather Jordans really would make an insanely cool dress shoe
It makes me feel relaxed. I’m not the only one buying wrong ones, I have couple of LV and CL 😭
I have those shoes as well. In the process of selling some of them. I actually got that same pair of 380s for like a $100 under retail off StockX. It was a fantastic deal.
under $100 retail? On stockX? You sure they're real?

I had lots of regrets lots of Yeezys I bought for the sake of buying them, either wore them once or twice or never, so this year over 40 pairs gone
Absolutely great video no one has shown this honesty thank you
I seriously got into sneakers about 2 years ago, and since then I made a point to never pay over retail. So far I haven’t caved in lol. If I don’t hit a raffle I’ll just move on.
you must have great luck in draws then lol
@@Cakes_Games I can honestly say I do

i personaly have the jordan 6 UNC and they are dope, I got theme when they droped and got theme for reesel
Patent Bred 1's.. Paid $420 CAD resale 2 months after release, and now they are selling for 20-50 over retail, $225 CAD.

I got the valerian blue dunks haven’t worn ‘em out of the house yet hope they don’t get too bad.
I sold my slate red but they were retail… that price you paid is eye watering
i feel you about the Jordan 6's i love the look but they never go with anything i wear. I started wearing them to the gym
Black metallic gold is fire if you wear them right. But ya they are not for daily wear and is a bit stiffer than normal
Jordan 1
Nike air force supreme in the wheat colorway,, thought they were cool but not my style,, worst part is supreme sent them to me in a replacement nike box for whatever reason and now I can't even sell them with everything OG because they are missing the OG box
Best sneaker vids on whole youtube🔥keep up the good work!
Oh man when you grabbed the 350 v2 Cmpct...i said a prayer !!! Whew thank God it was because of price and thats it
I would suggest you buy some crease protectors if a crease makes you buy another pair of shoes.
i love those nike dunk low offwhite lot 28 in the backround
I don’t buy sneakers at resell, but the pair I regret buying was the KAWS blazer low I the team red colorway. I don’t really mind the shoe, it’s just a little busy and can look like a clown shoe at times.

Patiently waiting for the collection vid, being curious at this point 🔥 Keep up the good work
The Air jordan 1 high Volt & Bordeaux ones are my two regrets…. and the gym reds and royal toes lol. I couldve bought 2-3 🔥🔥 pairs instead
Great video, I am always drawn to the black and gold patent Jordan’s, but like you know I’d never wear them
Man, I loved this one. Great video!!! I can’t wait for the 3.0 version 😂
Bro, I'm regretting some of your purchases due to price. I've been wanting some reflective Yeezys but can't find myself paying aftermarket pricing since I got 2 pairs at regular price.
I have learned that if I have to rationalize on how/wear I wear a sneaker, I don’t need to get it or I too will regret buying them.
What kind of panda was that? I’m looking to buy it instead of the other one.
anyone know the brand of cargo pants used at 5:23?
Mine are the Jordan 1 High heritage
Solid Jordans in my opinion but have dropped way under retail
I kinda regret buying the off white 4's. Had a pretty nice deal but don't see myself wearing them because they are so expensive now
I feel you man. My regrets have been LeBron purchases. I don't even hoop anymore but I thought maybe these will get me going. Nope. And his shoes aren't casual wear either. So they just sitting
I would love the off-white jordan
Appreciate the video once again man, you always put a smile on my face. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so much!!❤️🔥👊

We live & learn! Man thanks for this video & sharing your experience! 👍🏼
I regret buying any regular dunk. Also, I’m still not sure if I should regret buying AJ5 Jade even though I’ve paid retail pric
In nike made by you which leather option did you choose. Please notify me.
when do the “by you” dunks drop? they are all out everytime i try
This video is awesome! Would love a full sneaker collection video to see all the ones that you keep!
In the works🙏👊

What size US are those monos man?? I’d buy those and the 350 cmpcts if they the right size…🙏🏼🙏🏼
I also bought those patent leathers. Never wore them. Found someone on Trade Block who actually wanted them.
Yo what’s the black cargo pants in the red yzy snippets? I like ‘em
Elliot is the only sneaker tuber I even watch anymore
If u haven’t sold the patent leather 1s I’ll cop them what’s the price
I regret buying the union nike dunks, the yellow so fast😭
oh man, these mono mists were TERRIBLE! i was getting so mad of the quality when i copped them, sold them later with a huge loss
I’d contact Adidas about the 350 boost - I feel they may give you a refund if you return them. I had a basic pair of adidas shoes that began to wear quickly - I contacted adidas and they gave me a full refund 👍🏽
What size and would you resell them?
how much for the patent black and what size:)
My regret was to buy air jordan 4 zen master , it's really not comfortable and it cost me 306 and my best shoes was to buy adidas ultra boost triple red , it's sooo comfortable and it lock catchy
Its funny how the Yeezy mono is my most wear shoe in my closet. Feels really comfy to me. I got the mono ice.
Do a vid on the sneakers you DON'T regret buying. My best is the Off White Jordan 4 sails.
I feel so angry buying things i regret but it's a learning proces and for a reason to work harder for my money
I don’t even collect sneakers, I just enjoy your contact. But it’s funny to see people in other hobbies, doing the exact same thing that everyone does.
I sold my Alien 2 380s I wish I’d kept them, I just wasn’t wearing them but I sold them on for the cash but I miss the look of them.
Yeah the UNC’s 6 are hard to style. I actually wear my Mint 6s a lot more and find those easier to style lol.
What do you think of the aj3 desert elephants?
Bro u cop the most regret-full ones once I saw your shoes I agree with your regrets !! 😅
i got mummys for 380 and they are tight in the toe box on the sides . do you think that if i wear them enought theyll fit ok or should i sell and buy half a size bigger
Sell and go up 1/2 or a full size. They are tight and especially with the double material.
Damn I love the off white fire red 5s so much! That foam lining makes them very comfortable. The color way I actually like more than the metallics 2! I'm sorry you regret them homie 😔
I bought a pair of aj1 mids and i hate them now
Wow so transparent definitely the best video you’ve done.
🙏❤️🔥
I honestly agree with the UNC 6s, they’re so nice to look at but i just never wear them🥲
Can anyone tell me what pants he’s wearing at 5:23 ?
You don’t really have a sneaker “collection” until you have at least 6 regret pairs 😂. Another great video - not sure how missed it last year. Must be time for the 2023 version!!
Where do you get rid of the shoes bro?
I don’t regret buying the Air FOG 1 Noir’s in general but I do for the price. I paid $654 after taxes. Then they dropped to $400 after 2 months
Last year i got the mummy dunks for myself as a bday gift and paid a little over 500 and now they go for 350-400
Not a big fan of the 380 silhouette but the pyrite is fire.
I buy the Jordan 5 moonlight for 300 but I can sell at time to buy the jordan 4 military black
