Some good links in here after seeing that wall of nikes I knew Snype would have something good.

At 1 point I had over 350 pairs of Nike's. I've been collecting for many years. I wear the same pair of dirty sneakers all the time. On special occasions, I would break out the exclusives. I've camped out for 3 nights for a pair of Nikes. I've camped out many nights. In the end, I was robbed for about 300 pairs of my Nikes. Most of them were never worn. My SB Heinekens, SB Denim Dunks, Air Force Stash's, SB De La Souls, Jordan 4's 5's and 6's and many others are now gone. So sad. Still got some nice ones but once I settle down I'll go to Flight Club and try to buy some of my old ones back.

Nice! I had the original 4's and 5's when I was a kid. I loved the 4's. The 5's were cool too they just didn't look right on me, at least that's what I thought. On January 17th a few years back, I camped out in the freezing cold all night. I brought maybe 4 homeless people from the street to wait in line with me and paid them $20 each. We were the first 5 people in line. There were about 75 people behind us. The store only had 15 pairs. I tried to tell the other people in line that the store only has 15 pairs so there's really no reason to stand in line in the cold. They still stood there hoping some more pairs would reappear. When the store was about to open everyone went crazy and I was holding the handle of the door so hard. People were trying to bumrush through. I was talking to the owner on my cell when I was in line. I knew him because I bought a lot of sneakers there. He told me he could only get me 1 pack unless I brought more people or people would go crazy. So I brought the homeless. I got 5 packs from that store then I went to another store where I paid the owner in advance for a $50 charge and he held them for me without anyone knowing.

This release was The Jordan Defining Moments Package. It included the 6's and 11's. I had 7 packs of them and they were going for around 2k online after the release cause of course it sold out in seconds. People were trying to straight fight me for the jordans, it was no joke. I told the owner to keep the packs in the store and I will come back later for them. I was untouchable at that point. But when I went to the other store in the ghetto, the owner made me leave with the big gold box. Shit looks dope. People were really chasing me down the street for them but I got away. Still got 1 pack left too!

Also have some Mars Man Jordan 4's and 5's from maybe 7 years ago. 4's, 5's and 6's are the only Jordans I rock.

The other people in line realized they were bums and I kept trying to tell them that they were sneaker junky's. They were like passed out and when some of them would talk I'd have to interrupt them but people ended up knowing they were bums when all the packs stayed in the store and the bums walked away. LOL! I remember one of the homeless guys was passed out with a pair of green sneakers and I was trying to convince them to look at the kicks he's wearing. It's not like he's going to wear his exclusives here. But then everyone else in line is wearing their rare Nikes showing them off. lol. It's real fun camping out for thing. I camped out all night for the Celtics Finals and 1 of the first people in line. When it opened they gave everybody a raffle ticket which was thousands of people in line which the line went to another city. I'm not joking. So they pull out 1 raffle ticket. Then they go to that person in the line and say that he is #1 and everyone behind him was #2, and 3 etc. That meant that the real first people in line were really last in line and going to receive no tickets for coming early and being first. There was no talk of a raffle. Back then I was really dumb and me and my friends saw the guy walking out with tickets in his shirt pocket and we ended up following him through the North End and went into a building with him and tried to take his tickets. That didn't end too well though. I snuck up behind him and tried to knock him on the floor from behind while grabbing the tickets out of his pocket and he turned around while I was in action and resisted. I was so shocked that I ran away and he chased me through the North End screaming "Help Police". LOL! There were mad people around too but no one likes to get involved. I got away because I ran right through a huge intersection with cars whipping by. I was very close to getting hit by a car and I looked back and he couldn't get across. I dipped down the North End and hid in a cemetery for around an hour. I was pretty stupid back then. A lot of people were pretty angry when the first people who showed up didn't get tickets but the people who came hours late got tickets. I'm still pissed about that one.

LMAO! i remember that. we did some dumb shit back in tha day haha.

All this talk of sneakers is making me want to buy more sneakers! I aspire to have hundreds of pairs in clear glass boxes that are an entire wall of a huge walk in closet. but including some adidas.. ;)

But.. i will force myself to hold off. Best to stack the funds :/

i know it goes against the basic principals of fairness that you learn in pre school! That was years ago but at that time (or anytime) snype was not one to steal from anyone. He just went kind of crazy from the bullshit after waiting all day. I was still in high school and the whole time i was at school he was waiting there. and then still waited mad long after. I came by after school and witnessed the madness. LOL
