Don't be. They're just shoes. Material things. Everyone posting in this thread has enthusiasm for sneakers/shoes but trust Nike, Reebok, New Balance, Asics, Saucony, Linang, etc are going to continue to retro old shoes and drop new heat.
There were a lot of shoes I missed out on in the last year Royal AJ 1s, DB 3s, DB 5s, Fear 3s, Fear 5s, Lebron X EXTs, Kobe 8 WTK, etc. I can always go back and cop some of them but February (and November/December) are the shoepocalypse and would rather spend my money on paying retail and shoes I potentially have a shot at aquiring.
This Saturday is Nike BHM collection. A few weeks later it's Nike restock and All Star Game shoes plus all of the other releases. I'm really trying to cut back but Nike, etc are making it hard.

Thanks, y'all. Got lucky on those Bred 1s at Foot Action, I actually beat the bots using the good ol' persistent manual add-to-cart method.
Looking to pick up the BHM Lebrons this weekend.

KD VI, Lebron XI and Kobe 9 ASG Pack. $170, $250, and $275 respectively.

I like the KD's and the Lebron's though if I had to choose, I'd probably get the KD's as I love the look of them as a whole.

KDs and Lebrons for me.

The KDs are tight...but like the KD4, that will probably be impossible to get.

Every one will go for it because it's the cheapest option from the pack
and also a great looking shoe.

Just got these in:
The suede, the speckled soles.. amazing shoe in person @_@

Holy Cow at those price increases. $40 for the KD, $50 for the Kobe's and $70 for the Lebrons. Yeah, they glow in the dark and will have special packaging but I just want to scream, "Swiper, no swiping!"

I didn't bother with the last fall J Crew New Balances. Only so much money to go around.
Auron_Kale

I still rock my J. Crew 1400s (2 pairs, Navy & Dark Grey). Love them to bits.
Price has gone up though, they used to sell for $120 when I got them, now they go for $160.
YO. I AM :SMOKIN
I haven't been this happy in so long.

Let's get it!
YES! Hopefully I can get these and retire my '01 retros.
Still been meaning to get a pair of the Pebble Blues & the Phoenix colorways, but I'm waiting on a coupon code before I do. I've been burned by full price J. Crew before =( Everything goes on sale eventually.

Man, you have no idea. There's about a half dozen New Balances I want right now but Nike and their Nov-February madness.
And hopefully those XIs have Gamma XI availability.
I wonder when we are going to start hearing about ASG massive restock. Last year was INSANE (in addition to the February releases).

That's much more manageable. KD VI and Lebron XI AS are insta-bought.

Hope you guys don't mind... but please allow me to share my recent pick-up/story...
The Nike PlayStation Air Force 1 was first released in 2006 as a promotional item and joint collaboration between Nike and Sony Computer Entertainment of America. Only 150 pairs were released (individually numbered). The shoe was never sold at retail.
In 2009, Sony reached out to Nike again to produce more of the now coveted sneaker. This time a limited run of 50 pairs(silver boxes) and 40 pairs (black boxes) were made (with slight differences from the 2006 version) and given to Sony employees/executives/media to help celebrate the upcoming 10th anniversary of the PlayStation 2 console.
In 2012 Complex Magazine ranked the 'PlayStation' AF1 as #11 on their list of 'The 100 Best Nike Air Force 1s of All Time'. A notable feat for a sneaker that was first released in 1982, which is now going on in age into it's 30s.
The legendary Bruce Kilgore (also did the Jordan 2) designed this iconic shoe that continues to impress decades after it first left his lab. Shortly after it was released, the sneaker was actually discontinued due to lack of sales. However in the New York tri-state area, the shoe began to pick up in popularity and was eventually re-released a few years later, and has been a regular ever since.
In case you didn't know. I like sneakers and video games a lot. I actually work in the gaming industry in product/design and marketing. I look at the sneaker trends & culture with inspiration often when creating products. The result, often times are amazing.
I first saw this shoe in person at E3 2006. It was the same time that I met my good friend Alex Wang, better known to the internet as 'retrokid.' Yes, the same 'retrokid' that helped launch Sole Collector magazine and one of the true OGs of Nike Talk (NT). He was rocking' them and we just talked about gaming/sneakers and our passions for both. Since then, I've been wanting a pair of these. Finally almost 8 years later, I got 'em!
Now to go after a 2009 pair.

Damn dude, nice pick up!
Those All Stars KDs, god damn. I have to have em. Definitely the best looking one out of the 3. I hope they release here in Canada.

Man...I spent thousands last year on shoes. And space is quickly disappearing in my office. Like they're going to fall on me. I think I might have to sell some.
So far this year, I bought the YOTH Kobe 8, Powder Blue AJ3, Graffiti Lebron XI and Infrared AJ X.
February is going to be crazy. Saturday has the KD and Lebron BHMs. Then insanity ensues as they (Nike and other sneaker producers) every week!!
2012 seemed like a slow year compared to the frequency of shoe releases.

I'll try. Visiting my daughter so the setup isn't optimal. But I'll give it the old college try for the KD and Brons. The Brons are beautiful.
