Don’t swipe to the last pic ‘til you answer the question (at least in your own head)!
Back to that mismatched Yeezy pair from the other day - I decided to pull out the only mismatched pair I own. I picked them up a few months ago at the flea market and paid $20 for them - I was pretty stoked to find them as it’d been a while since I’d seen a nice pair of dunks in my size for cheap. I checked one of the shoes - it was my size so I figured ‘steal’ and went about my day.
Once I discovered they were mismatched, I was pretty annoyed but also knew it was my fault…’everyone will laugh at me’ was my next thought. Idiot. It’s almost impossible to tell, and even if someone spotted a half a centimeter difference from a good 6-7 feet away - they wouldn’t care. What makes me think anyone would give a damn about one of my shoes being a half a centimeter bigger than the other?
So...If you came across a pair of your grail of grails in your size and they were priced at about 75-80% of market rate and you found out one of the shoes was a half size bigger, would you still cop? If your grail is something that only comes around once every few years, would you still cop? If @prestology came across some ‘Hello Kitty’ Prestos and one was a Large and the other an XL and they were only $750, would he still cop?
It’s a tough question...if it’s vintage stuff - it probably won’t pop up again. If it’s newer, there’ll be hundreds of opportunities to buy in the future. I’m cheap as f*ck and buy mostly only older stuff so I’d most likely purchase…
But back to the most important question you’ll get today (ie: feed my insecurities)...which shoe is bigger? Right or left?
