Shutting Down My Kicks Buying Bender

With the Holidays fast approaching, I need to stop my kicks buying bender. I’ve been on a roll recently adding more and more shoes to my collection. Kicks have been incoming faster than outgoing ever since I discovered Nike’s online clearance section. You never know what you’ll find there and oftentimes, it’s something good at a great (cheap) price. Not only that but shipping for purchases over $99 is free and return shipping of unwanted items is free for Nike members. So all around, great perks if you’re looking to buy a pair (or two or three) of shoes.

After getting the Air Max Trainer 1.3, Jordan Trunner Flash (and returning them), and the Jordan Dominate, I thought I was set. Yes, thought.

Then came some pre-release images of the Nike Roshe Run Trail. Since learning of the Zen origin of the Roshe Run, I’ve been looking for a pair, but the ones I’ve seen in the wild were all mainland bought. Then finally, the Roshe Run Trail version showed up at Nike.com. I bought them though at original cost, giving me three pairs of shoes in about two months.

And now it’s time to end it for 2012, really end it. My collection is at capacity, and I need to save funds for Christmas presents. So no matter what Air Max Express, LeBron X, Braata Mid, Fighter Jet Foamposites, or Flyknit Trainers release in the next few months, I must resist and be satisfied with these in cargo khaki/white-canyon gold-black.
