Stock X must have noticed I had been coming back to look at the Elkins J1s over and over again because they sent me a $15 off which was all I needed to finally order.

Grails on the way.
The term "grails" has been used too loosely on here. Grails are sneakers that are difficult to acquire due to limited availability and/or price.

The Elkins are neither.

Nah, bro. You can get those on Amazon for less than $100.

I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure there were 11,000 combined L's on this board trying to get those.

They're widely available on the secondary market.

Price is subjective. I can see your argument on rarity, but when dealing with a commodity…if the value of a particular shoe collapsed on the secondary market, does it lose its "grail" status?

Yes. If the Jordan 1 Diors dropped to $500, it's no longer cost prohibitive and therefore, not a grail.

Then I would say we fundamentally disagree on what defines a grail.

Negative. These aren't 880 retros for $100. These are the real deal… these are heat.

Edit: these are #46 out of a 1000.

Someone is gonna say something like heat is up to the individual, and if it's heat to you then it's heat. I disagree. Heat is not some type of frame of mind, heat is tangible.

Heat are highly limited, stylish, and coveted by sneakerheads. They are rare, and just because y'all have a bunch of Jordans doesn't make any of y'all's stuff heat…

We post shoes, argue, slap each other on the back and congratulate one another, and I enjoy bagging on all y'all. That's what this thread is about…

It says $621 on Stockx, but IDK, I'll never sell them. Heck, I haven't even laced them yet…

It's one thing to love a shoe and then get excited about a limited version of that sneaker that speaks to you. Or to love something and covet a limited release of a sneaker tied to it. It's another to want to own a sneaker because it's rare or expensive so you can show off.

Take those Avias. You like them, and I think that's cool. They are definitely interesting and different, and that has some intrinsic value to me. If I saw someone walking in them, they'd turn my head because they are different and interesting. Might even be something to get you cred from an old head in a IFKYK kinda way,

That being said, if you tell me there's only 1000 made, my comment is "Probably because they knew they couldn't sell 1001 of em."

You how a game can be so bad they have to fire the CEO and then try and take all the copies and bury them in the desert so nobody will remember them, but the fact that they tried to destroy them all made them collectible?

Those Avias are the NES E.T. cartridge of the shoe game.

You're one of the couple of dipsh-ts on this thread that is arguing with people. 99.9% on here aren't arguing, because it's pointless & unnecessary. This thread has never been about arguing. If you're looking to do that, either head to the Politics forum or pony up for the Premium forum.

There has been no hate. Y'all take this too seriously.

True that aggiebird has been an annoying donkey but it's all fun and games. Most of the crap he says he probably doesn't believe himself.

Eh we're talking about shoes, here, and i'm an old man now. Back in 95 we would be squabbin but there's no way I'm gonna get upset now at someone making fun of my shoes. Besides, haters have a very prominent place in the history of sneakers. Someone's got to do it if we want to be authentic.
