i was new to shoes back then. did not know much about anything at all, not even the most classic AJ1s
i went to a nike employee store and i saw this pair of Ben and Jerry Dunks on the “last size” shelf. i wondered to myself, who on earth would buy these cow shoes and i laughed at them with my friends.
6 months later after i had amassed some sneaker knowledge, i came across a vid showing the exact same pair of shoes that apparently were worth like 4 bands on the resale market. imagine my pain. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THEM FOR A DISCOUNT.
Just about any double-up I’ve ever bought. The idea that I’ll wear a pair of sneakers into the ground when I have a house full of them, AND that I’ll actually want another pair of the same old sneaker I’ve been wearing and not something new seems ridiculous to me now.
