    Is anyone a collector? I am somewhat of a collector and have noticed a massive drop in the quality of Jordan's presently being released. Cheaply made with pleather, and all that crap. Jordan's were once considered to be premium items with a limited stock for each release and now the market is just absolutely filled with the shitty new releases of the shoes.

    My collection:
    Jordan Chicago 10
    Jordan Royal Blue 18
    Jordan 21 Italian Red Suede
    Jordan 22 PE Chicago
    Jordan Future Low
    Kyrie 2 Duke
    LeBron 4 Navy/White
    LeBron 9 Kentucky
    Foamposite Fighter Jets
    Griffeys

    I also used to have a pair of Jordan True Blue 3's and Jordan Aqua 8's. Miss the TB3's.

    What do y'all have in your set? I'd imagine a lot of you older folks and dads have the Nike Air 'Dad' 1 (Air Monarchs).

    Or the New Balance equivalent.

    I'm certainly not a collector, but a comfy shoe is a comfy shoe.

    I used to wear Reebok Classic for work and play. A pair would last a year or so of heavy wear.
    Now the uppers fall apart before the tread has hardly any wear on them.
    Cheap labor gives you cheap products.

    Reebok for Fall and Spring, Timberland for winter.

    Screw Jordan, he's always been overrated anyway.

    I remember when Matt Bonner got his New Balance endorsement about 4 years ago. He wore a pair of them in a game and someone accidentally stepped on the heel and tore the entire sole off.

    Those are what you need if you wear your Jordans on the train after midnight.

    Jordans are hideous. SB's are dope.

    So just got a bunch of sneakers and most was able to value pretty easily but one pair was having trouble.
    Seen values all over the place for these. Anyone have any idea the value of these of i could get them cleaned up good? Size is 9.5 if that makes a difference

    I believe they’re Jordan 1’s Off-White. Ugly in my opinion but people love that stupid off white brand.

    https://stockx.com/air-jordan-1-retro-high-off-white-white-gs

    Best way to price them is probably go on eBay and do completed-sold to get a value. Quickest way to sell sneakers when you get a price is probably Facebook
    groups or social media where you meet up with someone. Sneakers can sit on eBay for a long time.

    How’d you get them?

    Yeah, I usually use eBay solds to set my prices but this one was all over the place. I sell through FB Marketplace, I buy storage auctions so always have a big supply of random stuff, this one had Jordan 1 Retro High Fearless, Air Jordan 6 Retro Infrared, Air Jordan 3 Retro “Red Cement/Unite, Black Timberlands and a few more. Had a bunch of new Columbia shirts, Prada, Moncler,True Religion. This was a pretty good one for a $50 unit. Not my best but they have mostly been good returns.

    Unfortunately the shirts were mostly small, shoes 9-9.5, jeans 31-32 waist. The change the guy threw in the drawer of the nightstand that was in there came to $78 so that alone covered the unit price and fees.

    Had this chain also, unfortunately not real.
