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 💯
💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
facts.
Same bro, I'm in my late 40's. I'd watch no matter what.
@2legit F A C T S
@@mikerich2323yeah me to just a good dude in general 👍
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!
Gen X here, wo t stop collecting. Happy retros are returning. Refused to pay ridiculous resale prices. Glad to have a retail shot at some of the grails I missed out on. Never too old to collect. I'll be 80 wearing my J's.
@@maiyadixon3543actually most of these u can get under retail. I done copped most of these under or at retail the past 4 years
👋🏿😁
Black Cement 3’s, White Cement 4’s,
Flu Game 12’s, Black Metallic 5’s
Reimagined University 1’s, 85 High Bred 1’s , Im definitely coppin .
For sureee 💯
Also for me the shattered back boards, Steele toe 10s, aqua 8s, cool grey 9s
Mike, you’ve collected all the Infinity Stones. Time to chill now.
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!!! 💪🏽
(Long time member of RN, you are a big reason my collection is the way it is!😂)
😂
🔥🔥🔥
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.
In the same boat. I kept all my favorite OGs and sold off a lot of stuff just sitting in the closet. I still have too many pairs I bought because of hype.
They aren’t dying. Everything has come to a crawl with the economy and nobody able to buy release after release anymore. Every sneaker is sitting anymore because people can’t throw $200 a week away for sneakers
Js aren't dying, next year line up is gonna be stupid watch how they sell
Definitely not dying watch what’s coming the rest of this year and next people gonna complain about not getting shoes.
I'm just going to buy what I like feel me.
Much respect to you for taking time out to not only explain your plans on upcoming releases but to express your gratitude for your friends. Everyone gets hit with grief and memories differently and at different times. Not too many talk about it, especially not publicly! 👏🏽
I ain't gonna lie to you mike, I've literally just sold off my last pair of J's my cherry 12s, I mostly rock New Balance now on my grown man tip and I'm down from 50 pairs of Js to about 9 pairs of shoes and imma keep it that way, My pockets and bank account loves it😂😂, But i still make sure i tap in and watch all of your video's for support and the great content.. 🔥🔥
Nice video Mike really emotional when you started talking about your friends passing away we’re never to old Jordans, I am 68 years old and I am still going. Remember when Jordon started coming I was 28 years old But for you, if this is the last go round, buy them all. Love and respect, my brother.
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!
I look at all my sneakers sometimes and wonder what the hell I'm doing with these things. I just don't rock them as often as I'd like to for whatever reason. A lot of times just bad weather stops me cuz I don't want to deal with it. 😂 At work i wear boots anyway.
I’m going thru the same thing. I work from home, and it made me realize I don’t go anywhere important to wear all these sneakers. Some shoes I still have in the bag I bought it in and never wore them. It’s been 2-3 years now.
@@LoopGawdTVI hate how much I relate to this smh
i get it, y’all!
as mike said, cats are passing away abruptly on heat.
every new day we get to wake up is an opportunity to wear some heat. it’s good for the mental to unds a pair to do something simple like grab a cup of coffee.
Same here. I look in that closet and say to myself “ I could’ve paid my car off fucking around with these shoes”
Facts. I have all the options, when I was younger I would have loved all this stuff but now most of the time I pick my most comfortable pair that’s at least kinda cool. I’ll throw on 2019 bred 4s and then be like nahhh I just rock the vanta black Yeezys AGAIN 😂
I know exactly where you coming from man,my best friend passed away in 2022 & he had a big impact on my style it so I got the Jordan 4 infrareds he used to wear all the time he said they were his favorite & I plan to get more shoes he wore. I’m 21 with an old soul so preciate you being open about your life man it really do help people when you don’t know it it’s like you’re one of us! -Real Rich Nation Fan Supporter💯
Same with myself only I'm 45 and 2 years ago lost one my best friends the friend that was always into shoes with me.
After I went out bought all kind i thought he liked or last pair he bought and used it as an excuse maybe to buy more.
Is not the same anymore even talking with new people I just don't feel that excited about the shoes coming.
RIP Niko
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.
My opinion I feel like 1's last longer den any other jordan, because da sole is sew to da shoe, all da other shoe glued together 😢 c u knw better, u knw 1's last longer, u dnt gotta re- buy dem unless u just want 2 pair.

My homie rich did this video with the tequila right next to him 🤣😆 this is more serious than I thought lol. Respect homie. Time to collect other goals

@@Richard-Reloaded💀💀💀
Im 34 years old and i agree with you. I still collect but only certain pairs. That meant something to me growing up and nostalgia.
Jumpman Bostic a 175 years old and still collecting lol
Actually He's 60 Or 61
yea jb is od with the jordan glazing lol
@@themoderndayoswaldbates I hope I’m able to still enjoy my life when I’m that age.
@@themoderndayoswaldbates
Why disrespect someone for something they enjoy & helped cultivate & basically created sneaker you tube that you’re here enjoying.
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.
@@DerekDynasty
Amen
Naw man we need to hear stories like that. Helps us to realize how important life is and how short it is. We all human. We need to vent
Having Jordans in Grammar school be so iconic tho, man. Whe those 12s and 13s dropped, it was madness 😂i swear
This is why I got more selective on my sneaker pick ups! I have started wearing other brands and not focus on Jordan So much!
Bruh i respect your decision we getting old bruh i feel the same way slowing down on buying Jordan's but man you and your wife are my favorite couples on UA-cam and I respect your great content on UA-cam and being a great family man 💪🏾🙌🏾💯
RIP! Thanks for sharing that story Mike! I need a pair bad as I wasn’t able to cop them so I have to get a retail pair of those shattered backboards!
I'm with ya my man....200 plus pairs n as someone with a young family n work Monday to Friday I can only really rock what I have on weekends...gonna grab my must haves n step back abit!! Those metallic 5s look sick
Man you a real one been watching since prime high school days back in 2015-16 crazy pop shoes just changed but love to you keep putting it on Mike rich you the goat
Mike making decisions cutting back on the merchandise. 😂 i guess he's on to other important things which is cool
I'm sorry about your friends Mike, but you never gotta apologize for remembering those who are no longer with us.. That's how their memory lives on.. You're making me feel old lol.. I got my first pair of J's when I was 7 years old in 1985 and I been rocking J's since.. I'm never gonna not rock fresh kicks.. I'm definitely being more selective because I don't have the room, but some of them like the Cement 4's are must cops, no questions asked
U can get them re-glued/repaired if they separate. If u really love a shoe, it's an option
I’m in my 40s and im not tired of Js but I had to stop myself from buying Js I really don’t need so I made myself a promise I’m only buying Jordan’s I really want which are really just og releases with Nike air on back . I don’t get tired of that Nike air
appreciate you confiding bruh! were all human at the end of the day and sneaker head or not one thing we all have in common is life be lifing for all of us and r.i.p to your homies
In Texas even in the 90s. Elementary was K-5, Middle 6-8, High school 9-12. Some cities had K-6 (elementary), 7-8 (Jr High), 9-10 (High school), 11-12 (sr high school)
Blk toe 14's, Reimagined 4's, and Blk Metallic 5's are a definte add the collection!
Next yr gone definitely be my year to buy kicks. I need Allum
I’m with that. Nothing like a good reason to keep or grab a shoe. That shattered back board story got me a little.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great story bro thanks for sharing gives the shoe more meaning
I feel ya Mike! Im in my late 30's and went thru a phase were I sold majority of my J's through the 2010s but then recently rebought everything just for nostalgic purposes (newer retros to wear!). Been contemplating about hanging it up for years but I think this 2025 maybe the time for real for me as well! Cheers and bless up!
These already had a feeling of a typical Mike Rich video 😂😂😂. Coppin then regreting 😂😂😂. I'm a truck driver too so I can relate to the steel toe boots crap
Damn havent watched in a min you grew out dreads haha
Man out of all the shoes you showed them black metallic 5's hit different 🫠.. a must cop!!
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.
💯💯💯 Next year will be my last year buying Air Jordan’s….. growing up, a sneaker dream of mine was to have at least one of every air Jordan and to also have the og Nike’s I’ve always wanted. 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 feel what you are saying Mike, I said the same thing, we have gotten what we missed growing up, as we get older, we will just get the silhouettes we like when we mid 50s etc.
I feel u Mike I only got bout 40-50 pairs I barely get to wear them and I'm basically doing wat u doing but as far as UA-cam go you by far the most entertaining
I feel ya, bruh!! I'm only buying OG's i missed out on getting. I'm at 410 pairs of sneakers 👟. It's time I ease it down as far as buying random colorways. But we appreciate the gems 💎 you are always droppin us💯✔️ great video Mike Rich and Stay blessed fam 🙏🏽
Much Respect! Sneaker collecting is so much more than having a bunch of shoes! Love the content my OG Brother! 💪🏾
Appreciate the stories around the Shattered Backboards bro 🙏🏼
What about the og grape 5s with that Nike air?
Air jordan playoff 11'z iz my fayvrit shoo uv all shooz 💯 🔥🔥🔥
Great vid. The 2’s,3’s,4’s,5’s&6’s soles crumble after a period of time. The rest only unstick. But most of these I’m gonna cop (again). But I really want the Raptors 7’s (11.5) to complete my collection.
Mike get the OFF mosquito repellent for the fogged up air units on the 5s….just a tiny amount wait 20 seconds then wipe it off with a microfiber towel TRUST ME!
To answer your question @ 6:35. There would be no purpose to buy them again, the black toes you just showed were 9.9/10 condition. I'm a big sneaker guy myself, about 50 ish pairs. I find trouble being able to rotate my collection because I have too much. 300 or the number you said earlier, you simply can't rock that kind of collection.
@8:38 This shoe is the reason Jordan 11s became my favorite. Back when Foot Action had early access, I was able to get a pair the day before they released in stores. I was excited to wear them because nobody I knew had them. Them- "When them come out?" Me- "Oh, they come out tomorrow." 😉 💪🏾
You a smart man Rich. Because Im tired of seeing shoetubers hyping up shoes talking about Ima double up!!! Ima triple up!!!" Then weeks later," Im letting these go on whatnot!!!" Im like, bruh, you got like a thousand pairs. Half of those are gonna get Thanos snapped into dust before you wear half of them, chill out. Lol
Great video bro. I understand your feelings on not getting all the shoes that are coming out. U have a dope collection so you’re blessed regardless. U and your beautiful family stay blessed. ❤
Definitely hope to get the white cement 4s and shattered backboards next year!!! I really got tons of shoes and need to be picky. Stay blessed!
First vid for me watching your content. I found the vid so fun to watch. Not sure why but I did. Props!
When I first graduated from college (2004-2007) and had a little money, I wore a different pair almost every day to my desk job for quite a while. Coworkers thought I had every shoe lol. It was fun. Miss those days
I'm with you Mike. Going through the same thing. I got a few more things I'm looking for. Yea, the classic j's definitely. But then I'm probably done too.
I’m 48 and been feeling this way about buying Jordan’s. I have a lot of the shoes that are coming out and I really don’t see myself buying what I already have. I even sold some DS pairs recently.
Yep as another truck driver I never get to wear my sneakers I literally have to force myself to wear my collection on the weekends but I wanting to just throw my crocs on 🤣
I been in that situation a few years ago. With my shoe collection. I only buy about 7 pairs a year. Saved a lot of money in the process and used that for vacation trips.
Mike love the content just commenting to help the channel
I’m getting them 11’s because white you really can’t go wrong with them match really well with any outfit.
Alot of my collection is also very sentimental very tough to get rid of certain pieces but sometimes its for the better . Nice video mike 🙏
Yoooooo Jordan brand is not playing! This is a great time in sneakers imo cause with all these retros re releasing a lot of us that don't have them have the opportunity to get them. 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.
Sorry about ur loss man ..
Damn school starts early down south.
I’m heading toward 45 and have thought about a couple things as potentially my last run but then I slap myself and wake up. I can’t think like that yet, lol. I don’t even want to be in my 80s thinking like that!!!
You're a good dude Mike. It's nice to see someone genuinely love Js and not just be in it for the hype
Loved this style of video Rich. Keep keeping it real fam!
Okkkkaaayyyy Mike Rich !’ Don Julio in the back big dawg 😈
I’m done with 11s and any bulky shoes. I would only really consider if it’s a highly favor shoe I like like maybe bred 11, space jam 11 etc
The 11 Gratitudes were a nostalgia pair for me. Too bulky for my body and height lol
@@ItsJWandoe Same and then I ended up getting rid of them but kinda wanted them back
@@ItsJWandoei love my pair that's what got me in the shoe game again
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.
I feel you Mike. Theres honestly 2 more pairs that i will buy the og taxi 12s and flu game 12s and im done buying sneakers. Love em. Still put the content out much respect
I agree. I'm at the point I just want all the og colorways of the dope numbers and that's it.
I remember watching you cop the white cement 4s back in 2016… RICH NATION ALL THE WAY TO THE MOOOOOOON
My guy with some Don Julio the good one reposado. Next year will be crazy!!! Great content like always.
I feel you bro. Get what you love and everything else is just fluff. Good vid
As an elder Millennial, I feel this. Sold off just about everything but about 15 pairs. These days, I'm reaching for my NBs or Pumas more. I'm just waiting for a handful of grails to retro: Black Cement 3, Grape 5, Black Metallic 5, Black Toe 14 & Aqua 8.
An angel came down and shined on bruh 😂😂😂
I am in a very similar situation, work in a wearhouse where steel toes are mandatory. No more Nike's, just comfortable shoes now.
Another banger video! I need those bred 1s myself!
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.
Keep up the great work 👍🏽💯🙏🏾
I feel the same way. As the years pass, I'm beginning to buy less. It's the same stuff, and I've been there and done that. It has to move me to actually buy it.
Love the channel, fam!! Stay blessed
I love the longer video Mike.
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 😂
I feel you bruh 41 now and my brother who put me on is five years older than me. A few years ago he was like bruh you still getting ever release. Fast forward time I’m the age he was when he said that. I’m starting to feel how he felt then now I’m going to start passing on stuff I’ve already had. I got over 200 pairs of Jordan’s I can’t even wear them like I use too.
Mike I haven’t been to your page in a while because I don’t collect much anymore but I pray you stick to what you love man.
Man I’m 45 and I don’t care if I got 1 million kicks hell my daddy got 100+kicks and He old old so sneakers gonna be there no matter what that’s our culture so But to each as own do you content fye regardless 💯🎯🫵🏾👑
Ain’t no way I’m still gonna be collecting kicks at 45 maybe a few here and there. In 29 and it’s already starting to feel silly buying the same shoes over and over just a different colorway.

Great video bro well said on not getting certain sneaker and getting your grail sorry for your two friends that pass 🙏🏿 and 4s will crumble before the 12s and definitely breds 11s was a hood shoe back then concord was a surprise and honor to have it back then
I bought the 2013 fire red 5s last year and I wear them all the time no separation
