OT: Are Nike shoes the next thing to get slabbed?

Why is anyone even collecting freakin tennis shoes anyway?

 

As opposed to stuff worth collecting...... like 70 year old paper products with little 4 color images on them, many of which are starting to fall apart from age.

 

 

 

I'm sure some people appreciate the artistic interpretation of tennis shoes but other than they were on someones smelly feet what else is there?

 

 

About the same as collecting a coin, a stamp that was licked by somebody else or tea pots. Yes my gf collects tea pots. Hopeless. We are doomed as a nation.

 

Did it ever occur to you that the people that collect these Jordan shoes watched him play as young-ins with excitement (obsession even) and now have the time and $$ to buy things that remind them of their childhood? Now where have I come across this phenomena?

I`m pretty amazed that on a comic collecting chat board there are people who are struggling to understand the concept of collecting and paying large amounts of money for items that no one else would care about.

Not really surprising when there are comic collectors that belittle what fellow comic collectors collect.

Anyone that collects pink covered DC's is an exception to the rule and a glutton for punishment.

Thank you for validating my post. Imagine someone spending $200,000 on a throw away paper product that will be dust in a few years.

Especially since Jordan Nike shoes have a much bigger upside than current inflated priced "funny books".

 

I can see our kids telling us "why didn't you stock pile Air Jordans/video games/etc.' instead of these worthless plastic POS's Dad???"

When it comes to Jordan's, I'm partial to 5's.
