The seemingly ever-present feeling that I’m drowning in sneakers and sneaker information - it’s also exactly why I no longer get caught up on any particular release. There’s too many out there for me to lose sleep over any of them. At one point, early on, when FOMO was like a real real thing that nobody ever put a name to, it was kind more of a ‘famine’ mentality. There just weren’t all that many releases to fall back on. So we went for them all. I always think of the Classic Green Jordan 4’s that came out in 2004...there was SUCH a drought with Jordan 4’s in general (the last pair of 4’s to drop was in 1999) that people ate that shoe up like it was going out of style (and it did). I even considered purchasing that shoe that had no home/no story/no connection to Michael Jordan other than in name. I’m glad I waited. Cuz I maintain to this day that that was a shoe that just never needed to be made.
