    So I finally won one of those Adidas shoe lotteries where I have the right to buy a pair of limited edition Adidas.

    Credit card charged, shoes on the way.

    What did I win the right to buy?

    The Adidas Prada Luna Rose 21.

    Retail price, $695.

    They are cool AF but I will never wear them. I've only been signing up for these buy lotteries to maybe get some Yeezy's to resell.

    Anyway, do I send these to Stock X? List them on Ebay?

    I know some of you have sold shoes before, what should I do?

    $700 for a pair of sneakers and you ask what you should do? See a shrink ASAP. ;)

    No, the person that needs to see a shirk is the person that pays me $1,200 for them, lol.

    (Not my ebay listing.)

    I remember when I thought $100+ was insane for shoes.

    Sly got out of the stock market so he could invest in something more stable.... like shoes.

    Size 13?


    :NOTMARIS:

    I have 2 pairs of the original Prada America's Cup (Luna Rossa). They are probably some of the best shoes I've had. I'd just get the OG version without the Adidas collab on it though.

    Me thinks you'd crave the attention. Praise the Lord, they wouldn't be New Balances!

    My son buys and sells shoes. Gets in on the releases etc. StockX is one option, I believe they take a %, and the process tends to take a while because they check each pair to make sure legit. Which makes sense. eBay another option. GOAT another one, take a %, but they buy shoes. You could also go in person down to Index in downtown PDX. Maybe call first, tell them you have these specific shoes and size. They buy shoes if it’s a popular item. Bring some mace and a knife, it’s mayhem down there.

    Except for the Flintstones, everyone should wear shoes.
