In today's video we're gonna be talking about how it took me six months
That's right, six months to get the Travis got one low
I had to wait I had to be patient but trust me when you find out how much I got it for you would have
done the same thing to

So let's now go ahead and get into the story and start from day one and work our way to today
Well, I'm finally able to say that I own the Travis got one low
So at this time everybody knew the Travis Scott one hai had just released and I was lucky enough to get two pairs of those
On sneakers out in a few months after that time had passed and next thing, you know
People are talking about Travis got one low and it's in a dark version
It's black and it looks all clean and I'm like Brett I gotta have that
I know it's definitely a fit for me or for my style
So the drop was on either July 19th of July 20th or remember which day it was?
I think it was that Friday, but I can't remember I get on sneakers app
I try to get the shoes and I get that you didn't get up and I'm like breath really what am I gonna do now?
Everybody knows what happens when the shoe first drops and it's pretty limited or exclusive the price goes crazy
So I seen that they were worth roughly around six hundred and thirty six hundred and fifty bucks and I'm like bro the retail on
This shoe was like 130 like that's five hundred dollars already just immediately ill something
I'm like, okay is there I could wait and buy it later and hopefully the price goes down
But then other shoes are going up in value. So what should I do? And I'm just kind of debating debating debating
I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna play the long game just like I do any other shoe
I'm gonna be patient. My time will come the price slowly starts to decline and I'm thinking like, okay
This might be my chance
maybe I can find them at somewhere like a sneaker con or something like that come around like August the shoes work like now like
500 bucks right something. I'm like, okay, that's still a clue price, but it's still
$500 for a low top one. So I end up going to sneaker con out in DC
eight
12
As you can see, I'm at the event I can't find pears in my size there were songs of those
10 and a half. Yeah money the 13 so I keep looking and I keep looking
They're on the third season is over eight countries
No, the biggest we have is
And it's like nothing
And then nice thing, you know, I stumble across this table right here
Alright, so I got a pair right here size 13. They got two pairs for 580
So hard and I want to spend I would like to be in the force
What I'm see what I can get look like
You do five on it
To do five on it
Thirteen
April we should know 1 to 13 track
So, that'd be 560, okay. All right
Okay, so basically if I got them off the line I would be able to get them for a better price
So I'm gonna pass on the deal
I really really want to get those I really do but it's not worth the came do it for the video got to be smart
So I'm gonna find a better deal somewhere else. I know I'm gonna get those stay tuned
Those will come I guarantee you
so in that
Specific video I was on the hunt for some Travis Scott once and I just could not find them that was out there in DC
Luckily, I ended up picking up a pair of Chicago once I got these for a smoking deal
So I was happy about that purchase, but at the end of the day
I was still kind of sad because I was like breath
I need these Travis count once so time continues to go by and it's always in the back of my mind
Like obviously it's not stressing me to the point where like I can't live my life without having these Travis got one
But at the same time it's like I need you Travis got one
Maybe this might die and the hype might not be worth it and I bought them for
$500 and then realized like damn this is only like a $300 shoe and in my opinion
I thought the shoe was worth maybe 250 to 350 dollars
So I was like hopefully I can get it in that price range, but that's half of what it's worth, right?
some people say I'm a madman to even think that thought so I ended up going to another
Sneaker con and it's in the back of my mind. I'm shooting other videos, but I'm always like hey if I see it
Oh if I see it if I see it a Chuck Travis Scott
You know saying like I'm always peeking and checking for the Travis Scott
So in that moment, I'm thinking like, okay
maybe I can find something maybe not but size 13 is hard to find like they always got smaller sizes all these different things and
When I go to there, I didn't find anything
So then I'm thinking like, okay, maybe I could go to Chicago sneaker con that ones coming up in November
I might be able to get something there. Hopefully I can find a pair. I found a 13
But I don't think I can do it up into the half. He said he wants 594 these that
The high stock continued
Appreciated my fairy tales, so
So as you can see from that he was definitely not trying to budge
He got his for retail and he's just still like nah, bruh
I ain't gonna sell him to you unless you give me five ninety and I'm thinking like bread
She won't even work that much, but it is what it is. I can't do it
The numbers ain't adding up and again, I got a pass I gotta be patient
So now another month rolls by obviously, I'm not actively hunting for this sneaker
But, you know if I'm always open to things, you know people shoot me message
Hey, I seen that you were looking for this shoe
I got one, you know in your size and then all the price doesn't add up. Sorry. I can't do the deal type thing
I'm trying to get it for what I'm trying to get it for if you mad at me buying the shoe for what I want
To buy it for then just don't sell it to me, bro. I'm tell you right now
I'm trying to find a deal
I will find a deal I will be patient and I will find a deal so then December rolls around and I'm like breath
I need to shoot a video at the end of the year recapping my entire Air Jordan one collection
To date and then that way people can see like hey
This is where it's at. And then next year when I plan on growing my Jordan one collection
They can see how much it has grown over the past year in 2020
So I'll drop the video and at the end of the video I said this I'm looking for a couple of things the Travis Scott
One low I need the fragments
So that was basically me hitting that people like a bruh, you know say like I need these shoes up
You got a plug on it?
Let me know because I'm trying to cut but I ain't trying to be paying all them crazy prices and everything
Cuz I'm just like y'all. I'm trying to find deals
I'm trying to will and dealing work trades and do all them things and make the best deal possible. The video drops. Everybody's happy
They're all loving it watching the video. I get a couple DMS from people and they're like, eh, bruh
I heard you was looking for this shoe and I'm like, yeah, what's up? What you got? Oh, yeah. I got this
I got that I got this that so then immediately I'm always like hey, let's talk numbers
Let's figure this out because I'm not about to waste your time or my time. Let's have this conversation
And if so, we can nip it in the butt if it doesn't work out, but if it does work out
Let's make something happen. So we talk numbers and I'm like, right
It's just not adding up like it's too close to market value and to me in my opinion
I don't value that shoe that high. Yes, I want to have it. Yes
I want to complete it for my Travis Scott collection having the ones for sixes in low top ones
But at the same time I'm like, bro
I'm not gonna spin that crazy dollar value just to get it for Instagram or YouTube to make it look cool
Like I'm still gonna buy it at the price that I think it's worth
So none of the deals end up working out and that's fine. I'm always patient. I understand it takes time
And that's one thing I definitely want to tell you guys right now. Take your time. Be patient
You gotta understand you gotta be patient. And some people can call you cheap. They could call you whatever you want
but at the end of the day all
that talks that they're doing means nothing because they're not spending your money and they didn't work hard for your money and then have no
Say and what's going on? They're not paying your bills. They're not paying your mortgage. They're not paying none of that stuff
That's you that's your decision. I show money. So like I said before be wise be patient
Don't worry about none of the talk
And if you don't got it yet it's fine because eventually you will get it and I'm telling you right now
It's gonna feel so much better when you know, you worked harder for it. You got it for a better deal
And now you have equity in the shoe different things like that. So
The time rolls around last week now, this is February
so it was the end of
January beginning of February
now another month had passed and I get a text and it says hey brah heard you was looking for these and I'm like
Oh, what's up? Now? This is one of my homies and I'm like Brett we hold it down for each other
We always work deals
We take care each other and make sure that we both get plugs on things that we want if I don't care about the shoe
And it has a high value and I know that he wants it
Let's make a deal if he doesn't care about the shoe and it has a high value and he knows that I want it
Let's make a deal. Let's always make each other happy. So we've had this connection for a very very long time
I mean years and it just happened to work out. He had the shoe and I'm like, bro
I need these in my life
like I've been I've been trying to find these for them near six months now like you gotta sell these to me right now like
I'm about to come over. You gotta sell these to me. So I ended up copping the shoes for 300 bucks. Wait a minute
Wait, wait a minute
300 hours is what I got them for and they're sitting right here
That's like a damn near thumbnail right there why oh my gosh
Yes
So I got these for about half a market value and this is about what I had estimated the value of that shoe actually
Being worth so for me over all that time and all those things
I was like Brent, how can I get this shoe for that price and it just it was time pace just oh this time
I had a chance that time I had a chance plate was just two high numbers wasn't right
Oh this offer that offered and eventually the shoes came to my hands
And now I was finally able to say that I'm able to complete my Travis Scott short in collections
So now I have the force the 60s the low tops and the high top ones. I'm gonna tell you right now
I'm a happy camper. These things are brand new dead stock and uh
I'm ready to put these on my feet at some point this year
So if you see me at a sneaker con rockin easel pride just know this is exactly why because I had to go through
My madness to get my pair of shoes, but at the end of the day
I still got them and I have this theory when it comes to buying shoes
Especially when you're a sneaker collector if you buy the shoe now or if you buy the shoe later
At the end of the day, you still plan on having that shoe years from now, right?
So if you had a six month buffer time when you didn't own the shoe and you plan on owning it for five ten years
Three years whatever it's fine, just because everybody else has it right now and that's the hot thing right now
This shoe is still gonna be dope. It's still gonna have value and if you want it, just give it time
Be patient because when you do now you see now you have equity in the shoes
So say one day I wanted to sell this shoe
I have more value in it or if I wore it and I sold it. I have more value in it now
Yes
I got a great deal for my homie
And we don't sell the shoes like that from each other that we get these deals from so in this situation
These are for me for my collection, but I do have value in them. Say something happens down the line
I gotta sell a bunch of shoes. You know, I plan on buying another house, whatever it is. It's going on there
Is that situation as well?
And you always got to respect it, you know say my bro. I hook him up and he's like
Hey, man, I have to get the dough and we got to do this and i'm making this movement
It's gonna improve my life my equity whatever
Go ahead bro. Like you help me. I help you type things. So that's the whole story. That's the whole situation
I was hunting these things down for like six months now. I finally got the shoes. I hope you guys enjoyed this
Did you guys have any struggles on release date when it came to this shoe who copped them for retail?
That's the question drop a comment down below if you got these for retail
If you did buy them in the resale market
How much did you spend on the shoe then and how much does it work now today?
That's the question that you gotta ask yourself
like what's it right timing when you bought the shoe because
The shoe was high in values then it went down and now it's slowly working its way back up like this
So I appreciate you guys down below in the comment section as always drop some comments. Let me know how your day going
Let me know if you got any crazy stories if you guys got any questions or would like to see any other videos
