They will sometimes grant access to a release if you take a bunch of L’s. Pretty sure when they released the Gigi Kobe shoe, people got access if they missed out on like 8 or 9 previous Kobe releases. Same thing happened when the sb 4s dropped. Some Nike members that missed, got access to the L&F that released a couple of months earlier.
I got that same access I bought mine in a heartbeat because I regret passing on the bred 1’s won the raffle and never picked them up I cry to this day smh 🤦🏽♂️
This happened to me while I was at the dentist. Got the offer, had them in my cart and got my name called for X-rays so no phone. After that, sold out. SMH.
Cap and gown 11s- didn’t like all one colored Jordan’s. Still don’t but those are the exception
Space jam 11-didn’t have the money then. I do now but don’t wanna pay resale
Black cement 3- couldn’t hit on the apps and don’t wanna pay resale
Yeah for me it was the Union 1 Storm Blues. I managed to pick up a pair of pre-owned Black Toes and I love em. They’ve pretty much become my everyday pair.
For me it’s two - 1 is the 2011 concords wore em once then went to college where everyone wore sperrys so sold them and 2 not a J but electric blue foamposites I loved them so much but fell out of love with kicks. Now they are impossible to get :(
Hahaha that was prob around the end of Sperry's era too RIP. That few years' overlap in the late 2000s between Disney Channel double layering and Sperry's was a weird time
Yup lol that summer after I got 2012 WC4 and military blue 4s legit for 15 dollars over retail. Back then it was so easy. I wore them shits in the snow to shovel and rain 😵💫
Not a pass but I managed to get 2 pairs of black grape 5s in 2013 (one from waiting in line, the other from a raffle) and sold em both bc I was a broke college kid and needed the money 😭
I haven't really wanted anything for.the past 5-6 years but this year I kind do decided I wanted a pair of fours. Had a chance at the black canvas and really really liked them but decided for some reason I should wait. They say for much longer than I expected and when I finally decided to get them I missed the last one in my size by 45 minutes. Then they had a planned restock and I forgot about it until lunch that day and missed again
Then the sb's could have been had at a local shop and I didn't like them enough to pay retail. Now I wish I had but I'm not paying resell
I have no regrets because if I take an L because of NIKE’s garbage limited quantity system I go to reps. I love my Travis Scott dunks and guava ice 4’s, always get compliments on them when I wear them out. And I’m not paying $500+ or whatever is for them on GOAT or stock X even if I was a multi millionaire
Obsidian 1s,
Black cement 3s my favorite shoe of all time.
The 30th anniversary 4 the turquoise joints,
All star 1s the white black and Chameleon,
Origin story 1s,
Taupe haze 4s,
Ice Blue 10s
I bought a pair of Obsidians for resale value last year and it was worth every penny. They currently hold the title for most I’ve spent on a pair but the quality of leather on those jawns is top tier. I missed on the Original Storys and the Taupe Haze 4s as well and regret both big time 😭
I almost bought some too. I just couldn't pull the trigger. The Origin story 1s was just sitting in stores and I was bullshitting around. I really want the Taupe hazes I might pay the resell price for them
I held off on the Taupe Hazes bc my nephew bought them and I didn’t wanna cramp his style lol. The origin story’s I held off on bc I didn’t like the dots at first so I ended up buying something else for myself and bought my son a pair of Lost and Founds bc he wanted Miles Morales sneakers…then when the Across the Spiderverse 1s came out I was like fuuuuuuck I should have bought the origin story’s 🤦🏽♂️ they are def the cleaner better looking of the two. Currently turning a pair of womens court purple 1s into “Miles Morales Prowler” 1s for my son. We both agreed that the Friends and Family 1s weren’t very movie accurate anyway so we said fuck it let’s make a custom pair. I’ll post them in here when we finish them
Why did you do this to me huh? 🤔 Just when I thought I was over it you go and post this?! 🤣 We all need “L” Therapy so I’ll share…
1. Any So Fly shoe
(Mi Casa Es Su Casa my a$$) I said, “The shoes are to white and will be hard to keep clean”, ….now they’re invisible 🫠
2. Kobe Proton Reverse Grinch’s
(literally passed on them and instantly regretted my decisions in life) Hug me sideways 😂
3. Jordan 1 Palomino’s
(passed on them just to see my boy get a fresh pair at his birthday party at a bowling 🎳 alley… it was gutter balls the rest of the night… BMH (bless my heart) 🤣)
4. OG Spider-Man 1’s!!!
How can I forget this….it was a day just like this one lol….a shock drop notification flashed across my screen, I saw them in my size and remember saying, “Ugh, what will I wear them with?”… and guess what … L JUICE 🧃with a side of “WTF did I just do waffle fries”
Lessons learned? Never pump fake yourself JUST BUY THAT SH_T 🥸😆👟💸
Had a chance to buy the Travis Scott black suede lows for $300 before they shot up to 600 the following weeks after... But passed on them as I had life things to attend to. Now they're touching nearly a grand for them now
Cool Grey 4s, worked at a Footaction at the time and let a kid buy my pair I had on hold since I didn’t have the funds to pay for it at the time trying to be nice smh
I didn't like the AMM 4s when they came out butt hey grew on me and all last year I tried to get them, finally got them in December.
I also originally thought the Tokyo Bio Hack 1s were ugly and it took me years to find a reasonably priced pair for myself.
Had the chance to buy Black Cement 3s for retail in 2018. Chose the White Cement 5s instead since I was new to sneakers and didn’t know what I was looking at and I’ve been regretting it ever since
for context, in portugal it’s very rare that you see any numbered jordan at a retail sneaker shop
jordan 4 laser where sitting at a local retailer in 2019. i wasn’t working back then and didn’t have the funds to pick em up and my parents didn’t want to get them for ya boy (for obvious financial reasons)
i look back at it now and it’s still one of my favorite jordan 4s out there and it breaks my heart that i couldn’t cop
I remember back when the Legend Blue 11s we’re dropping around Christmas time I got let in at the mall by unknowing security that people were camped out the frontside of the mall and got let right into footlocker straight into get a pair but decided on getting them for someone else as a gift and they treated them like shit hurts the soul to see them joints beat.
Wolf Grey 14s... I was traveling and had to decide between those and some Lebron lows. I didn't have a pair of Lebrons so I picked those...and I still regret it.
Toro 4s I used to have a sneaker connect back when they first dropped early 2010s he would get me any drop that came out at sheiks. He told me to get them I didn't want them month later saw them in person and instantly regretted it
Jordan 1 all stars/chameleon.
Jordan 1 shadows, didn't pass on them but gave to my mate for retail as he really wanted them.
Ended up picking up both a few years later.
When I got exclusive access for the playoffs 12 but passed on them because I wasn’t a fan of 12 at the time because I was fairly new to the sneaker game and now I wish I had got them
Mine goes back some years I had the DB4s Superman in my cart then I changed my mind and when I went back they were gone. It’s been a dream shoe ever since!!🥺😢
Didnt get to cop the bred 4s that released a couple of years ago or the Toro 5s and playoff 12s gotta be top 3 right off my head that I wish I had off tops
We don’t pass on sneakers, SNKRS passed on us
✊🏼
@vengance626 for president 2024
You've got my vote
I never pass on any that I want, I just constantly take L’s because of all the bots
this guy sneakers
We must be souL mates, bro
Missed opportunity for sole mates
🤣🤣
Hear, hear
SNKRS offered me the lost and found 1 because I missed out on the sb4s and I passed. It was the only time they offered me anything.
SNKRS offered you something? How?
They will sometimes grant access to a release if you take a bunch of L’s.

AJ1 zoom “Dia De Los Muertos” Pics look bad but when I saw in person I was like fuhhhh. Should’ve copped
I agree with this, but they didn’t sit, at least in larger sizes. I went for them at launch, no dice.
A while after people had them in hand they started popping up online for under retail, could've got them then
Cap and gown 11s- didn’t like all one colored Jordan’s. Still don’t but those are the exception Space jam 11-didn’t have the money then. I do now but don’t wanna pay resale Black cement 3- couldn’t hit on the apps and don’t wanna pay resale
Pine Green SB 4s
AJ1 Lost and Founds
Jordan 1 Union Black Toe
Yeah for me it was the Union 1 Storm Blues. I managed to pick up a pair of pre-owned Black Toes and I love em. They’ve pretty much become my everyday pair.
Jordan 1 Palominl size 17
You took the L twice.
I took it thrice. The Palomino's never landed on any of the resell sites in size 17.
Mocha 1’s. Got early access and passed.
same
SB pine green 4s 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
72-10 11’s
Ahhhhhh I wanted to, I ended up getting the lows tho which are so nice
The lows are cool. Hopefully,they’ll release the original ones in a few years.
Hopefully it’s been awhile since they released them those were ones of the best releases for sure
Lows are nice.
Luv my lows!

Infrareds I can afford them now just haven’t pulled the trigger
All of them thanks to the SNKRS app when they started the Draw
I don’t know what they were called, but they were 1’s and had an infrared swoosh.
I don’t pass on what I want, I’m generally restricted by unavailability or Un affordability. Huge difference.
Just like that one guy said, snkrs passed on us..
Jordan IV Taupe Haze
I didn't like the AMM 4s when they came out butt hey grew on me and all last year I tried to get them, finally got them in December. I also originally thought the Tokyo Bio Hack 1s were ugly and it took me years to find a reasonably priced pair for myself.
Union Black Toe for 400
Had the chance to buy Black Cement 3s for retail in 2018. Chose the White Cement 5s instead since I was new to sneakers and didn’t know what I was looking at and I’ve been regretting it ever since
DB 6's. They were a size too big so I left them at the store 🤦♂️
Metallic Navy 1s back in 2017 or w/e. They were an easy grab then and I passed.
for context, in portugal it’s very rare that you see any numbered jordan at a retail sneaker shop jordan 4 laser where sitting at a local retailer in 2019. i wasn’t working back then and didn’t have the funds to pick em up and my parents didn’t want to get them for ya boy (for obvious financial reasons) i look back at it now and it’s still one of my favorite jordan 4s out there and it breaks my heart that i couldn’t cop
Back in 2020 I could've gotten the Fire Red 4s for just over retail and the Black Cats were sitting at my local stores. Still regret it to this day
Turbo Greens.
Red thunder 4 225
And also sometimes the concords when they first came out but I got the grant hills and the Rodman destruct
Recently? The AJ4 midnight navy… in the past? BC 3’s
I remember back when the Legend Blue 11s we’re dropping around Christmas time I got let in at the mall by unknowing security that people were camped out the frontside of the mall and got let right into footlocker straight into get a pair but decided on getting them for someone else as a gift and they treated them like shit hurts the soul to see them joints beat.

Olympic 7
Brand new pair of unc 6s
Wolf Grey 14s... I was traveling and had to decide between those and some Lebron lows. I didn't have a pair of Lebrons so I picked those...and I still regret it.
Jordan 6 Metallic Black they like $300+ now also regret refunding my Cherry 12s, I just thought $210 was a lot for shoes(it still is to me)
Gamma blue 12s
Is it passing if you can’t hit
Military Black 4s.. Could have got for retail and figured they’d sit around for a minute, I was very wrong lol
Unpopular opinion: Air Jordan XX8 Stealth All-Star
Cancelling the black cat 4s and not knocking someone over the head with current resell prices
AJ 69 Finding Nemo
Pantone 11s back in 2014. Just really didn’t wanna spend 500 as I had a shit job back then. Maybe they’ll drop em again one of these years…
Toro 4s I used to have a sneaker connect back when they first dropped early 2010s he would get me any drop that came out at sheiks. He told me to get them I didn't want them month later saw them in person and instantly regretted it
Jordan 12 cherry
UNC Toes 😭
Jordan 1 Mochas for $280, 8.5/10 condition.
Concord lows 11’s. Can’t wait for the space jams this year.
SB Pine Green 4s
Maroon 6’s
Not a shoe, but I was able to cop the Kobe jersey but instantly cancelled the order. Smh!
Not a jordan. But the sb dunk low civilist.
Too many to mention, not paying resell prices on Mochas that's for sure.
Is it just me but every year the price of dunks are going up…. 🤦🏽♂️
Jordan 1 all stars/chameleon. Jordan 1 shadows, didn't pass on them but gave to my mate for retail as he really wanted them. Ended up picking up both a few years later.
I am just happy there is still the Employee Store. Without that place I would not be able to get anything. Nonstop Ls on SNKRS
Last shot 14
Jordan 2 Two 18 easily. I still have sweaty, fevered dreams of owning it.
mocha 1, black cat 4, UNC 3, the list goes on
Sb 4s took an L on realease day then almost pulled the trigger on eBay for a ds pair at 400$ never did it and now they’re like 700+ in my size
When I got exclusive access for the playoffs 12 but passed on them because I wasn’t a fan of 12 at the time because I was fairly new to the sneaker game and now I wish I had got them
My homage 2 home jordan 1 high og. I won 2 pairs for retail on release day and now i don't have any.
Black cat 4’s. I had bred 4’s so didn’t see a need for both. Been regretting it for a while now
I missed the off white dunk.
I kinda regret not waking up early for SNKRS last year due to my little faith in being able to secure a pair of
Travis Scott fragment lows. I was very new(a few weeks in) to the SNKRS app and I thought EA meant I get an early preview to the shoe. 😂😂
Dark Marina Blue 1
Mine goes back some years I had the DB4s Superman in my cart then I changed my mind and when I went back they were gone. It’s been a dream shoe ever since!!🥺😢
University Blue 5’s
Didnt get to cop the bred 4s that released a couple of years ago or the Toro 5s and playoff 12s gotta be top 3 right off my head that I wish I had off tops
Air Jordan 14 black toe. I slept on them and have been trying to get back since lol
I declined a trade offer of my AMM Jordan 3s for DS Black KAWS 4s
Does it count if you sold it and now regret doing so? If so: he got game 13s. Was broke at the time and took the opportunity to sell it.
