It’s been over 10 years since I stepped away from collecting and wearing Sb’s.
It’s fun to imagine what the collection would be worth today if I just stashed everything instead of reselling.
See any of your grails?
Pictured:
- OG Air Max 1 Patta Chlorophyll
- Air Max 1 Patta Corduroy
- Nike Flyknit HTC (2 different colorways)
- OG Nike Air Max 1 Animal
- OG NIKE Air Max 1 Atmos
Around 2013 my collection peaked before selling everything. Do I regret selling? Kinda.
The Flyknit HTM hype peaked shortly after i sold both pair. Sold for over $2k each.
I’ve owned the original Air Max 1 Animal 3x, worn each pair, and always flipped for more than i paid. The Animals with the black toe cap kinda ruined my love for the OG pair.
I 1000% regret selling the OG Air Max 1 Atmos. I will be adding the recent retro into my collection.
The Air Max 1 Patta Corduroy was so dope. Made great profit on a well cared for worn pair but I miss ‘em.
Always missed the OG Chlorophyll. Super surprised to grab the retro for retail. There’s zero buzz around the newest retro pair and it’s one of my favorite everyday shoes. Glad to know I can likely buy a new pair any day.
IMO the 36/7.5k lease combo is extremely unappealing and I don’t recall seeing it pushed this hard at any other time.
Currently in an excellent 24/10k lease expiring August ‘27 and might add another lease into the household by the end of ‘26.
Will the 24/10k leases come back? Is the 36/7.5k lease duration of contract and mileage actually attractive to anyone? Seems like a bad deal to get a low monthly payment.
