I'm wearing everything immediately. Rotating the entire collection. I'll probably try to the All-Star XIs in December. After that the only sneakers I'll ever buy again are Heineken SBs, Nike Air Ups and Playoff VIIs. Heineys and Air Ups may never release again.
I've been collecting since early 2000s then sold everything around 2011 (some new, a lot used). Then after a few years hiatus I slowly started to buy back stuff when the Black Cement IIIs came back in 2018. Now I feel like I've got too much and I need to wear everything until they are unwearable. Most of what I buy isn't what are considered the "hottest" sneakers by the general population. For example I'm buying Vans X Simpsons collabs and lots of early-mid 90s stuff that are sitting or deeply discounted. Still I feel like I have too much.
The goal is to wear everything before they dry rot. I'm at around 40 pairs.

Its a great time to sell if you're getting rid of really old shoes.
I've sold decade old beaters at cost or a little under.

Agree, but majority of the shoes I own I have have litte to no resell value.
Speaking for myself of course though.
I rotate through like 5-7 pairs a week.

If they have no resell value, sell em for the low, just to get rid of them….
….then in a few years, see that they’ve tripled or quadrupled in price

It only takes 5 minutes but I absolutely hate taking the pictures and listing on eBay. Love dropping them off at FedEx tho. I’d pop out at the next community yardsale but I don’t wanna spread this poison to these kids.
