I sold all my Travis pairs and with the money I was able to take a trip and have an actual experience that I will remember forever. The majority of people don’t care about what shoes you have on. Life > Shoes

Heavy on tip number 5: you don’t need everything, sometimes it’s good enough to know they exist. It’s like picking a beautiful flower in a field, only to realise once we’ve picked it then it starts to die. If we don’t pick it, we allow others to enjoy it too

Two tips I would add from experience: 1. Set a limit to the number of pairs you own at any given time. Once I hit that limit, I started really thinking about each pair I owned and bought and which ones I really liked most. 2. Place a bid on something you missed out on before a very hyped release. So far 2/4 times my bid was accepted on the day of release.

Bids on release day are likely to Get hit for sure from some desperate sellers

Great vid JD! One tip I'd offer is to consider buying lightly used pairs or pairs without boxes/accessories if you don't care much about them. So far this year I've grabbed multiple pairs for 20-30% less than a DS pair because they were worn once or had a hole in the box, neither of which matter to me once they've hit my feet for the first time. Similarly, trading can be a way to rotate the collection without spending much more; there are apps and websites that let you move pairs in and out without going through the combination of paying to sell your old pair and paying again to buy a new one.
@JoshDominic 9 ай бұрын
Great point about buying used although I wouldn’t say it’s a mistake to buy DS

I respect how you feel about the wc3s to you personally, but they are probably my favorite in my collection. not bad on comfort, goes with everything in my closet, super clean, ages perfectly and still looked great a little dingy or beat since it already has that pre age look (don’t love the pre age thing Nike been doing but that’s a talk for another time) great video man.

Another great look Josh! One thing that’s helped me is at the start of the year I began cataloguing releases in my notes. I documented all L’s and W’s. Prices paid. What I liked and didn’t like. It’s helped me appreciate them from a different perspective and log pairs I may need to go back for or just simply pairs I thought were great in the moment and like you said realized down the road I didn’t need them as bad as I thought.

You killed it with this one. I’ve made every mistake you mentioned. Buying the shoe not the story resonates the most, I’ve worn the J1 lost and found like 3 times in the year I’ve had them.
@gunster4865 9 ай бұрын
I bought the Cement 3's firstly because they're OG's of course and they looked nice and I've never had a pair of 3's before. Having them now, I don't necessarily regret buying them, they are really nice, but they just don't fit my style and the pants that I wear, I think the shape looks kinda funny. Union 1s though, I loved both the story and the design, win win 💪

Never had Jordan 4, then got one in red cement. For sure absolutely top looking shoe and great history behind but honestly quite uncomfortable on foot. Then got a similar Air Flight 89 and also Air Flight Legacy in nearly the same colourway for the price of one Air Jordan 4, and both are so much more comfortable, especially the Legacy which I adore more. Still gonna keep the J4's and wear them only on special occasions.

Ask yourself these 2 crucial questions before making a purchase. 1) Do I NEED these or just WANT them ? 2) Are they wearable ? A crazy colorway/materials combo may look great on the shelf, but not on foot. If you're a collector this doesn't apply.

Another W video! I really resonate with "you don't need everything." I've chased only one drop this year: the Action Lapis. The resale is too much so I said no. Sometimes I do go after a pair on resell, the SB Dunk Gardenias. Overpaid? Yes! But I got a shoe I really like. As a human not named PJ Tucker, I have limited space and resources only for shoes I love. Small collection.

I started on the path of Jordan 1 the moment I saw it on Miles Morales' feet. And I am glad the Next Chapters are selling below retail. I now have a decent number of Nikes, mostly J1, and all are almost unique from one another to not bog me down on the cost and redundancy, while still being eye-catchy

I never pay attention to hype when buying sneakers. I buy what I like and that’s it. The only hyped up shoe this year that I absolutely love and still don’t have is the SB4. Unfortunately thus is one of the shoes that didn’t hit that 9/10 on price dropping after release. They keep climbing and climbing, especially in my size 11. I’m hoping with the economy starting to fall and people not buying like they were, that they start dropping, cause it’s a must have for me, but I’m not paying $550

So right about the Union AJ1 "marketing storyline" behind it, why would you wear some other couple's love story on your feet? Yes I know the brand of Union, but to be honest I don't even know the couple names, and to wear their love story on my feet? A little strange feeling for me

Settling for less, I wanted the NB 2002r rain cloud forgot to enter initial raffles when they first dropped and restocked and settled for other colours instead. About 6 other different colours yet I mostly wear neutral colours and should have just bought it on resale or traded a pair when resale crashed. Learnt now to never settle, either get it or wait for something better. Also I do feel less it more, I would rather now have 20 solid pairs than over 100 pairs I hardly wear. My aim is to downsize and focus on wearability, if the shoe is non functional or ugly or whack colours hype won’t save it for me or anyone. This year I focused on collabs I wanted and fortunate to get most of them at retail - Jarritos, aj3 reimagined, aj3 balvin, Union aj1 bbs, sb4 etc. It has paid off not settling and chasing every release. It feels better buying less too as we are in the world of consumerism. I have taken a lot of Ls but also the upside is I have been quite fortunate. Being a sneakerhead is addictive, contentment is key and there are more important things so just enjoy your sneakers and don’t forget to enjoy life

Thank you for getting into the psychological warfare within us as we make purchasing decisions. A year or so ago I really wanted the Tom Sachs general purpose shoe ( the first one) but resell price was too much so I picked up a pair of the ACG Locate which is like a poor man's version of the Tom Sachs and it's a great shoe.
@pjf2193 9 ай бұрын
Great video. Same could be said about the born and raised SB's. Great story and a legend (RIP) behind the shoe, however personally I just found them a tad boring. I'm from the Northern UK originally, where football sneakers like gazelles, Spezials etc have always been popular, even before the hype. However, I was never into football and they're just not my style, so I'll never wear them. Same can be said with Jordan's. If you grew up going to basketball games then you probably love them. Again, those aren't my style either.
@mikedonovan9783 9 ай бұрын
Some good insights , some quite unconvincing : the AJ3 reimagined are my first AJ3 and I love them . They are clean , reasonably comfortable and provide me with quite a change of look from my numerous NB and AJ1. I will maybe get a second pair of AJ3 if I can hit retail on some cool ones . Concerning the resell price , another reason of prices going down on some hype models are is the flood of fakes . For instance the 990v6 from action Bronson : as soon as good fakes hit the market , resell prices crash down ( either because people buy straight up the fakes or because unscrupulous dudes sell them through stock x …)

Like my Yeezy 750s and some of the Classic 350 V2 colorways I still have DS. I realized at most I can only wear maybe 4 pairs per week, one of them being a pair of Docs. Definitely be extremely picky when buying sneakers. Don't just buy everything you see, even if its on deep clearance. Chance are you're not gonna wear those shoes at all.

Paying above retail on anything that you haven’t sat on for at least a few weeks. I’ve bought one pair of shoes that was way above retail that I wore to death and that was the Plum Dunk low from the ugly duckling pack. Also the La to Chicago Jordan 1 but those were the wrong size so a little small which hurt my feet. Anyways, unless you MUST have them and you sit on it for a few weeks and still MUST have them, don’t pay over retail for shoes man. Save your cash

You need to have enough of your own rules and stick to them.

Last one is getting difficult tbh, but I stick to it.
