I dunno about y’all, but I’m starting to feel like I have a’ sneaker’ hangover. Like it’s just too goddam much. Every morning: sneakers. Every afternoon: sneakers. Every night: sneakers. Even the sneaker blogs get bored and even the sneaker blogs are posting stuff that has nothing to do with sneakers. And…god….just about EVERYTHING looks the same to me. How is this not a flooded market?
No, I can’t tell the difference between varsity red and university red and true red and red, red. It’s all the same. They ALL look the same to me.
How many different versions of the Jordan 1 do you think there are out there? I mean, there’s no real documentation out there on it…but if you do a simple search on GOAT, you’ll see more than 3,000 DIFFERENT pairs of Jordan 1’s. If you search Stockx, you’ll see more than 13,000 DIFFERENT pairs of Jordan 1’s. Who’s got the right number? Who’s got the wrong number? Is the REAL number somewhere in between? In both cases - that’s an INSANE number of shoes.
Even if we take GOAT’s lower number 3,000 pairs…if you owned one pair of each of these different pairs of Jordan 1’s on the market, it would take you more than EIGHT YEARS OF WEARING A DIFFERENT PAIR EVERY SINGLE DAY TO GIVE EACH PAIR A SINGLE WEAR. All things being equal - if shoes didn’t deteriorate at a faster clip than most clothing - you could EASILY go the rest of your life just wearing Jordan 1’s every single day and NEVER switching it up. Ever. Average lifespan in the U.S. is about 80 years - that’d be 3000 pairs worn 10 times each. And that’s not even counting new releases…
People who want me to post strictly ‘sneaker’ content, this is where my head starts going… 😂
