If you plan on resale, probably best to get them in the more popular sizes. @matt100's collection is worth a pretty penny mind you. When he does decide to sell assuming he got them at retail prices he is going to be like Scrooge Mcduck. The two pairs I'm really jealous over combined are probably best part of 2.5k and that's only the ones I can see!

Hah, sometimes I wear them too.
I will admit that it's gotten a bit out of hand in lockdown, which is ironic considering I've got nowhere to wear them.
And sometimes raffles love me, I got the infrared 90s, neon 95s in raffles and I have a pair of mocha jordan 1s stuffed in a cupboard.
But I hate to say, sometimes you just need what you need so you feed the resellers. As I will this week if one of my dozen or so entreies for the bacon air max 90s doesn't come off. I've already warned the other half this is a "whatever it takes" moment
You guys watched that TV series about the trainer market?

I caught the odd bit whilst my wife watched it and enjoyed it. Not sure how realistic it is vs the real world, but seemed to give a decent insight.

No but it can be quite the rabbit hole when you get into it
Got to do something to get through lockdown.

What is a raffle in this context?Hah, sometimes I wear them too.

Believe it or not with limited stuff you enter a raffle for the chance to buy.
Actually I'm surprised it doesn't happen for GPUs at the moment... So there's a very limited pair out this week I really want, I've entered maybe 10 raffles. I may end up with 10 pairs. Most likely I'll end up with none and have to go to a reseller site to get them.
Bloody bots and scalpers just the same as GPUs

Interesting, thank you! I can imagine it is massively open to abuse but "at least they're trying?". I wonder what Nike get out of this... Rolex is the same story... they massively constrain supply but not to the extent of one-off production runs every 5 minutes (judging by how many unique Nike's there are). Are Nike scalping as well? How is it of any benefit for them that all the value is in the second hand/collectibles market?
The CLOTs are not for me... but show us the rest?
Trainer obsessives assemble! I'm getting disproportionately excited about the Air Max 90 Bacons this week, they will be mine. Within reason I don't care about the cost.
No clue on the trainer market, but I appreciate the designs and some of those are really nice!
Particularly 2,3 and 4 on the top row and what is 2 on the second row?i
Guess I probably just picked the most expensive ones
Those Bacon ones you want, they list on Nike website, but presumably from what I gather there is 0 chance you can actually get them due to the demand?

Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2... I think.

@matt100 are the second down, closest towards us, are they a recraft? Love the colour! I found the turquoise recrafts on stockx which I think I'm going to get friday. They have the rose recrafts too, which are different to the pink custom ones I bought, so I might get both! Dammit...
I guess it's just scarcity creating a halo? I'm not really sure what they get out of it either. Things like Jordans are out of control, to the point where I just can't make myself interested. At least with air max 1s and 90s there are everyday colours you can get easily enough, literally every single Jordan 1 high OG sells out immediately.

Yeah they're Yeezy 350v2 tail lights, not the most expensive by some distance but some of my favourites, can't go wrong with grey and orange.
And those bacon's are a reissue from something like 2006, they'll just sell out immediately. I'll be there at 8am on the 26th (air max day!) And I've entered lots of raffles. If not, it'll be stockx... Bend over.
No they're the 2020 reissue of the OG air max 90 infrared, they're the original launch colour (nearly, they changed the red a tiny bit).

Not mental...
Jesus they've gone up a bit, I got them at launch from End for £180.. but obviously I've worn them so they're not worth that anymore.

Ha I literally just found them as I read your post! I've added them to my watch list... dammit this is dangerous!
Very. And addictive.

Nice collection! Are the chis and Sean's legit? I got both pairs of Travis for retail. Sold the highs for £800 or something mad and went and bought a £100 pair of reps that looked identical. Yes I shall definitely be after the bacons too.
Im kind of embarrassed it's got a bit out of hand, but here's one of my air max walls...
I've gotten quite lucky on raffles over the last few years and sold a lot of pairs allowing me to fund my own collection.
I mostly collect air max 1s but have a lot of 90s, a few 95s and a whole load of other nikes / jordans/ adidas / new balance / asics
