Intro
I got into shoes around 5th grade. This was around the time sneaker reselling was still an activity confined to local facebook groups rather than advertised to you everywhere. I won't show you all the shoes I've ever had or sold, but I wil show you some of my favorites.
Ultraboost
The adidas ultraboost were released in 2016. Kanye West had just worn a pair during his The Life of Pablo tour and the world was craving to get their hands on a pair. At the time you could only buy these resale for about $300.
This shoe is special to me because it was the shoe that first got me interested in fashion alongside sneakers.
Sold for: $400
Sold for: $1500
Air Jordan Chicago 1s
The Air Jordan 1 Chicago is a classic shoe that every Sneakerhead dreams of having! This is because Michael played for the Chicago bulls and these were one of the first colorways designed. This shoe retails for only $160 but sells for over $1000 now on after markets.
This shoe was extremely hard to obtain, and I am blessed to be able to own such a rare sneaker.
Air Jordan 11s
The Air Jordan 11s are a fan favorite in the Sneakerhead world as they are the first Jordan to have patent leather. In the photo are 3/4 of the original colorways that released back in 1996. From left to right, the black pair is named the Breds, then in the middle, those are the cool grays, and lastly the white ones are called colombias.
It took me a long time to own 3/4 pairs, and I am on the hunt to own every colorway!
Sold for: $1500
Sold for: $3000
Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Pirate Black
The Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Pirate black are such a rare sneaker. These sneakers are part of the original colorways of the Yeezy 750 sneakers that Kanye West designed. These sneakers are extremely limited so they are extremely hard to obtain from after market buyers.
This shoe is extremely special to me as Kanye west is one of my favorite artists, and I have dreamed to own his sneakers my entire life.
