i was new to shoes back then. did not know much about anything at all, not even the most classic AJ1s
i went to a nike employee store and i saw this pair of Ben and Jerry Dunks on the “last size” shelf. i wondered to myself, who on earth would buy these cow shoes and i laughed at them with my friends.
6 months later after i had amassed some sneaker knowledge, i came across a vid showing the exact same pair of shoes that apparently were worth like 4 bands on the resale market. imagine my pain. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THEM FOR A DISCOUNT.
I bought the marina blue jordan 1s because I didn’t know when the next royal/blue colorway of the jordan 1 was going to drop. i paid 265$ for em 💀 but because of hype loss for the jordan 1, i should be able to sell them and get the royals without losing too much money.
Funny I was thinking about getting the reimagined royals but then thought I like the marina 1s so much more and that would be a better choice. I’ve had my eye on those a long time
they definitely aren’t a bad shoe, i just prefer the royals. the leather quality is also decent on the marinas.
