    For me , it's not about you buying shoes. it's just your content in general ... I'm in my 40s, and it's cool to see the passion for js, and the nostalgia still exists in folks my age ... if you just did store walk arounds and never bought another pair, I'd still watch ... the shoes brought me to your channel, but your personality keeps me watching 💯

    When that reality hits, that you own SO MANY pairs, yet wear so few, either based on your profession or lifestyle, things change. I think it's way more natural than people think, and I think with millennials in our 30s-40s, we've hit that natural phase out of buying a lot of sneakers. Many of us have everything we've really ever wanted and we now have the ability to also get close to anything, with a little patience because everything comes back around from the brands.
    Great vid Mike! Much respect!

    NGL, I was just having this conversation with my wife last night. So your video really caught my attention. I’m in the car business, and just like you I rarely have an opportunity to wear my kicks. And also like you, I couldn’t afford most of these kicks as a kid and I’m able to get them now. Big part of my collection is reliving my childhood. So for a split second, and I mean a split second. I actually thought about getting out the game too! And then I felt like the Wolf of Wall Street! I’m not fuckin leaving! I’m not gonna stop! I don’t care if my sneaker collection goes all the way up to the moon on them. I’m gonna stay in this game, because that’s what I’m here for! GONE!!! 💪🏽

    The Jordan craze is dying. Only old heads can appreciate what these shoes meant to us growing up. I sold my collection a long time ago and the ones I kept crumbled to dust. It’s normal to feel the way you do when you realize your house is full of shoes you’ll never get wear.

    Appreciate you taking the time to do this video. I've been collecting for over 30 years, and it's still fun for me. I know what you mean about certain shoes bringing back memories, both good and bad. Seems like my 4's and 11's began to crumble the quickest. My 1's and 3's have done pretty well. Anyway, a lot shoes dropping in the next 12 to 18 months, I think that I'm personally looking forward to the Shattered Backboard 1's, probably because I missed em the first time. Thanks again for another dope video!

    This is my last run for sure and it’s not to say that I won’t pick up an occasional pair , but by the end of 2025 I will never have to buy another retro again. I will have every OG color way that’s been retrod in the collection, if not the OG as well, whether it’s wearable or not, that’s only a few AJ1s. But I’m not gonna pass up a better version of a retro just because I have the version prior if it’s subpar like the true blue threes we need those done correctly. The wizards threes were really nice made me look forward to the true blues even more.

      Live once. As long as you take care of your responsibilities and prioritize, then you can do whatever you want with your collection at any age I don’t understand why that would bother you, “glazing” it’s funny how when something loses a little popularity, you see who was really there for the realness and who was just there to follow whatever other people thought was cool.

    Just went thru my collection and the amount of stuff I have that I forgot about was disturbing. So many things were starting to crumble or I wouldn’t trust them to wear them. Due to age. Better off just to sell and get what I can out of them.
    When you’re in the day to day grind, wearing heat doesn’t work in most jobs. Jordan’s aren’t the most comfortable but at this stage of life, it’s function over fashion.
    Like you Rich, if it’s anything 1-14, that I missed og, I’m on them.
    If a shoe is 2016 or later, I’m moving them and taking the bread.

Long story short….. I’ve achieved that goal. 😊👍🏼 The next I’ll buy a pair is if my current pair needs to be replaced. I’m still going to buy kicks but, low key ones and or underrated classics. As far as Air Jordan’s though…. It’ll be a rare purchase. Either has to be an OG classic that hasn’t retro’d or a retro+ cw that’s hasn’t re-released and that I’ve always wanted.

I absolutely love the fact that you are making smart conscious decisions to not buy uneccessary shoes that you already have!. I'm like you, I just recently copped a lot of a lot of my og 1s off of ebay through their authenticity guarantee program and have zero need to just buy another of the same silhouette. Unc, shattered backboard, and cement 4s is all I'm really wanting. I'd say do like you've done in the past and borrow a shoe for comparison and content purposes and save your money!!! Great vid broski!!

    I’m 51 but only got into sneakers in early 2022. Feels good to finally get pairs for retail or less. At first I was grabbing anything and everything I could because pairs were hard to get. Now I want to be more selective and go after the heat that you OGs have in your collections. Jordan worn colorways are what I’m hoping for. If guys like you sit this round out because you already have pairs, it’s gives guys like me a chance at getting them. 👍🏽

    Joints I need to fully retire and to resort to wearing Rokas:
    1. Cement 3’s this November
    2. Colombia 11’s this December
    3. Travis Scott 1 low
    4. Military blue 4’s about to buy these today.
    5. Union 1’s
    6. Shattered backboards

    most men have routine - the grind-go home cycle. thus, continuing to sit on ds heat until you pivot or something life-changing happens.
    with age and life uncertainty, everything goes on feet. also, it’s good for the mental to throw on a fresh pair.
    addendum - on a recent trip to europe, i hit up some sneaker boutiques and noticed how simple, yet effective most collectors’ fits were - allowing for flexibility and the kicks to be centre stage.

    I feel you man. I’m 26 and I just kept collecting because I used the idea of buying shoes as a depression reliever. The feeling of getting new shoes just took my mind off of everything. I know it sounds crazy but I’d just keep my mind on the next and the next release. But after collecting for a few years, changed my mindset, got better and my mind off of the sad stuff. I’m at 40 pairs of retros, 7 pairs of hybrids, 9 pairs of Nike’s snd 8 pairs of vans. I literally don’t go out like that. I don’t wear my shoes as much as I’d like. I do rotations 24/7 and still don’t get to all my shoes. I work, I come home, I sometimes go to events and get to wear my shoes then and or out in about. But it’s just hard to keep collecting, but also hard to stop. Until you realize that these shoes won’t last forever. It puts things into prospective. I’m grateful and I love all the shoes I already have, It’s a lot of money to keep collecting and I’d rather give the shoes the life they were meant to have, then to sit in the boxes in my closet.

    I don’t have anywhere near 300 pairs, not even a third of that, but even I have had to accept I just want to stop obtaining and do more wearing. There are so many good pairs I don’t get to wear enough. Aside from occasional grails that might come up (ie the black cements, Pigeon dunks etc)I’m going to park getting any more.

    Condolences for your losses bro. Out of all the shoes in my collection that are 10+ years old, my 3’s & 4’s are either separated at the sole or have major pain chippage. With age comes maturity & tbh we really don’t need multiple pairs of the same shoe especially if they barely get worn. The only issue I have is fomo due to the shoes being released every 8-10 years. The BC3 & WC4’s are a definite cop tho everytime.

    As far as the releases, getting older (38) has been great and I’ve been more content with less sneakers to choose from. With size 11.5-12.5 boxes all over the house, I’m more selective than ever! Trying to match shoes together with fits can be expensive and exhausting 😂
