Stop taking to the heart dude, your apology seemed sarcastic but it's all whatever.

Plus we posted that about the same time you posted yours so again, it ain't thang but a chicken wing?

I'm in Cali and never heard that, Wis is from Cali too and seemed like he never heard it either and dude probably rolls with Kendrick.

My apology was very sincere.

I got no hate for NT, I'm there almost everyday but I really can't keep track or get into the language there at times. ***** too confusing or I'm just too old for it.

I have a 9yr old so NT is not too confusing. I could see how it would be for someone thats not around young folks on the regular.

I still need to be educated on some things.

You just got weigh-in what you like more, which CPs (common projects?) is it? If it's the achilles, you can always get those on discount at the end of the season. Not sure if they are still making those.

You also have to consider the the condition.

Oh ok, but im the opposite common projects they never do it for me in my size 12. So I have a couple pair Ive never worn.

I was wondering why he would offer this pair for a shoe thats more expensive. I figured it had some sort of story behind it.

Just resell price really but it's only equal if the chukkas are DS.

But like you said, if the CPs are just sitting there gathering dust and you'd get more wear from the chukkas, then go for the chukkas and maybe ask him to add cash?

No I have they are the Van's style. His are brand new 12.5. He was really amping them up as if they were really great. Kept calling them some name cant remember. I was just trying to get my daughter and get out of there.

You already know I get it turnt up in the office, bro bro.

Any of you guys remember the Nike Presto line around 2001 or so? I remember they were widely popular and more or less were the Frees before the Frees. You think Nike would retro those? Since they retro everything nowadays.

The kids lining up for these are not wealthy. These are mostly children of single mothers that are barely scraping by. Trust, I resold about 30 pairs of the Gamma's, 60 pairs of the Breds, 20 pairs of the Concords and I am currently unloading the remainder of my 1's. None went to a child of wealth. Every big release my phone blows up from single moms trying to score their kid a pair.

If there is money to be made, why not? its an opportunity... Folks buy houses and flip them, are they just as bad?

This right here folks is what separates normal resellers from Nike resellers.

"They're all poor. Trust me, I've ripped them off myself."
"Well, money was to be made!"

Huh..... did I say it was bad, I'm sure I didn't, I said it's a business and as long as people are willing to pay the mark up, the mark up will be there.
