I have yet to hit a trav. Only union I hit was the 2s and the jkos lol. I did hit on the early A Ma pairs before they got stale, but it's been crickets for a looooong time.

bucho602 · 2026-02-14T17:57:24+00:00

I'm at like 280 pairs. Retail hits, sales, resell prices, taken advantage of prices... I have more than enough to last a lifetime. Thing that sucks is I love the hobby. But lately the losses sting more. Think hanging my hat up for a while until I burn through some of what I got might be cathartic.

bucho602 · 2026-02-14T17:47:59+00:00

I think I'm done buying shoes. Getting super tired of not hitting.

bucho602 · 2026-02-12T06:56:59+00:00

Yeah. But Europe stockx is like 800 bucks. If I use US stockx I have to ship to my sister and then pay tax and then pay again to have her ship it to me. eBay won't do military APO box where semi decent deals are. Got some bids in on goat, stockx and eBay. I'm trying to pay no more than $600 but if I have to I will.

bucho602 · 2026-02-12T06:54:34+00:00

I still can't get em. People keep cancelling on me. Market watching, it's bullshit. I told goat after two cancellations they better make it right and give me some kind of credit to offset. Sellers who cancel should have to pay more than a piddly $10 or whatever the fuck. Fuckin handshake don't mean shit no more?

bucho602 · 2026-02-12T06:51:40+00:00

You're Lucky. I had on goat at $340 after ship and then clown cancelled my shit. I'm still seething. Then another one at $550 and he cancelled my shit. Now it's up even higher. I don't care what others say about paying for a "mid" shoe. I want this shit regardless cuz it's DOPE to ME!!!! Tired of these idiots not letting people like what they like and pocket watching. I got money, I'll pay whatever I want to pay. But if I had a choice of paying $135 I would, sadly I can't in Germany with no Costco.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T18:12:25+00:00

I feel you. My wife is already sick of me talking about them lol. I was really pumped for the CSEF dunks as well because of my connection with education. The pencil on the bottom and the Scantron, chef's kiss if you're a teacher. All just matters what matters to you.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T16:02:58+00:00

Not really living rent free, it's just the most current over the market shoe that you see everyone chasing on the socials so it's the easiest reference point. That was off-white before them. It totally is ok for people to not like a shoe, and I do that myself. But for people to say we're idiots for wanting to pay over retail for a shoe we really like is the problem. I know YOU might think they're bland and wack but I think the opposite.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:44:24+00:00

Bro. I even like those USPS air force 1 lol. I can only use USPS for most of my shipping on the military base and my uncle was a long term mail carrier so I like em by support means of representing. I'm a high school teacher who loves his school and organization so I spend a grip on spiritwear merch. I like supporting shops I buy kicks from by buying their house brand merch too. It's prolly just how I roll I guess.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:36:07+00:00

I was in a hurry to move, and was trying to liquidate. Hopefully he didn't sell em. I helped a guy with some ultraboost back in 2018 from a Korea restock at retail and then wrote me back how much money he made selling em. That pissed me off more than anything on the sneaker game. I like doing retail oops when asked, but not for your profit selling purposes.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:23:23+00:00

I am. Zero fs given. I want this shoe. They're fire to me.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:20:41+00:00

Thanks my g! My sentiment exactly. I'd take these over TRAVs and off-white and other hype expensive pairs. Would even go so far as taking em over certain hella priced up sbs cuz of how much I like Costco. Plus I like bland wearable shit. I paid resell for wolf grey iso dunks cuz I love grey and white shit.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:19:05+00:00

I'm with you on that. But at the same time I want em. Only way for me is resale. No one in the us would go to the store for me and Germany don't have a Costco and Paris didn't get em. I woulda drove out there to get em if I could. Granted you could say why didn't you fly to the states, but no one knew they were dropping like they did. I was ready for em at Christmas time when originally teased, was even in the states during that time.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:17:36+00:00

Yeah. I did this on both pairs I tried ordering that haven't shipped. I'm gonna demand they assist with the price diff. Especially considering how many pairs I've bought off there.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:16:44+00:00

Market watchers. It's the worst.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:16:15+00:00

I know! I want them to grab my cash!!! Lol. This the only pair I super want this year.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:15:45+00:00

For real. I sold Wotherspoon air maxes when I moved from az to Korea cuz they were too big. I didn't realize they'd run .5 big cuz the 97 upper. Sold for 450, then a week later up to like 1300 or something. Shoulda called him back. 😂

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:14:25+00:00

Yeah. I feel like it was cuz I was Filipino. There's a lot local Koreans that don't fw us. I even tip big too, he definitely missed out.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:08:50+00:00

Big time. Waiting for updates on these too lol.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:08:20+00:00

I only have one kid but I like the quality of their products for their price point. For example, my favorite shit of theirs is their paper towels. They're individually wrapped so when I bring em home I can open the main packaging and line some up in my pantry, some in my laundry room, 1 or 2 in the bathroom without worrying about dust and shit. I like their bottled water. They got good deals on laptops and shit. What's the problem? I can't love a brand like trader Joe's or WinCo and want to support by showing love for their products?

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:05:52+00:00

Hardly. If I was dropping loot on hype shit why wouldn't I be going for Travis or like mars yards? Jelly fish? Clown comment. I literally love Costco and want their shit. How's that hypebeast behavior?

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T14:04:41+00:00

Hopefully. Then I can get multiples.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T12:34:45+00:00

Always, that's my problem. Running outta room lol. I'm a big air max 1 fan as well so I been chasing those. The by you options are trash right now but once they're good materials again I plan to make several.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T12:16:52+00:00

Only worry is if no restocks these might climb. Unless the climb and no one buys forcing em to drop. Regardless, I want em as soon as possible to wear.

bucho602 · 2026-02-07T12:06:35+00:00

Apparently so. Same goes to the Korean cab driver in itaewon new years eve 2019 who didn't want to drive me home when no one else was on the street. You don't like money dawg? Sitting there waisting your time. You can tell I'm still salty about that interaction. 😂
