You're a real one for buying these sneakers for how much they cost. I can't tell you how many sneakers you've helped me get off the drop because of your reviews. These videos are much appreciated by all of us. 👊
Well I appreciate you doing this for us and if you lose money trying to get a review for us to cop or drop I give you props cuzz it’s not something most can do especially with how I’m sure you do serious business behind the scenes to maintain a living and maintain your business- thanks we love your platform and we support all you do ❤❤❤❤❤
He just lost in the short term. Don’t be so dramatic. People will continue to watch the reviews of the shoes years from now and he will continue to make money. He’s making money now with this video about how much money he lost🤷🏾♂️
It's all part of the game I guess 🤷🏽 I'll never pay resell on shoes because it's never that deep. Plus random stuff can always happen, AMM1s were actually pricey at a point in time and then they restocked on SNKRS and I copped 🙏🏽
I completely get the whole jordan 1s are dying thing, but its still just insane that the washed black and palominos are going for only retail. Best colorways of the 1 by far this year and not being up even a little bit just makes my brain hurt.
Rounding, these “losses” don’t count for money made back from the videos themselves but not counting for that, if you take the average annual gross income of $208750, a $4k loss is only a single weeks gross income. Not too bad.
Always appreciate your looks at these sneakers, hyped, expensive or absolutely the opposite. Amazing shots and overviews to the community doesn’t go overlooked!
I knew this list would consist of most 1s and Yeezys. Biggest regret buying the FOG1 noirs on release day. I paid $600. If I would have waited 2 months I could have grabbed them for $400. I’m usually patient wen it comes to shoes so I don’t have any horror stories more learning moments
Now you should also make a video regarding the revenue you made from the review of these 10 shoes. Only then you’ll know if it was a loss or a profit in totality 😂😂 P.S. You are my favourite sneaker reviewer on youtube. The best ❤
I got a pair of Lucky Greens in StockX for under retail, nice pair imo and saved some money waiting for them to go for the low after they dropped. Nice video man!
@MomoUraKinRyu100 depending the country it could be a tax write off. In the US the shoes would be inventory until he actually sells it, then on the sale, the loss would become a tax write off.
No in US as a self employed person it is a necessary and proper business expense write off reported as "other expense" generally. Not inventory bc the operation type of "business" is not selling@@pvp2016
I managed to cop the L&F at £145 retail from wait for it………..Offspring of all places. To this day I’ve no idea how. And to this day I’ve not even taken them out the box 😂
I own two pairs of shoes. A $30 pair of Nike running shoes and $100 dollar Jordan 1 mid. I love all of these shoes, and I especially want the born and raised dunks, they’re really nice.
we've all suffered L's on some shoes whether on a trade or paying resell. The market as it currently stands is on a downturn. maybe the demand picks up during the holiday season since people will be looking for gifts.
To be honest the Donkey Dix 3 and 4's sold for over $5000 on release but are now selling for $75 at Marshals and TJ Maxx. Imagine buying shoes for that much and losing it all
The biggest L I ever took was 1,200 I bought the Travis Airmax 1 after the cancellation and had them for a few months before they came out and now they cost $300 😔
Why do people in US collect only Nike (Air, Jordan) ? I mean 99 % of RUclipsrs have shelves filled with all kind of Nike sneakers. Why there is no Adidas, Reebok, Asics, New Balance etc. ? Do people only wear Nike in US (while other brands are not popular at all) or are there any other reasons ?
It's all relative isn't it. Like there are a few pairs I paid resell for and I set a limit on what I think a shoes value is to me personally but the thing is, not once have I ever seen them as investments. I haven't got a pair I haven't worn at least once. I just don't see them as anything other than things that look cool to me and I like matching colours with my clothing if I can. I like having choices and options with all my clothing and shoes is no different. But not one of these things that I own do I see as investments as losses to me.
Should’ve waited for the jordan 1 low black toe’s price to drop. I missed out on release day I thought the price only would go up after that considering they were og colourway. Not rapid but I thought I could save some money. Now they are 130 in my size 😂. Dayum 🤣

He’s the reason I’ve bought so many shoes’s I wasn’t sure about 👍

He literally makes so much more money from the early reviews than what the shoes cost. He wouldn't make those reviews if they lost him money.
It's all part of the game I guess 🤷🏽 I'll never pay resell on shoes because it's never that deep. Plus random stuff can always happen, AMM1s were actually pricey at a point in time and then they restocked on SNKRS and I copped 🙏🏽
Lol u right call me broke but im not paying $500 for a shoe that retails for $180 😂😂😂
Lucky Greens are all over the shelves in Northern California.
Awesome video! You should make a top 10 of your most expensive shoes in your collection 🙏🏻
Great progress 👏 i remember when you were less than 50k subs.
Letss goo👊🙏

Why lose money when you can lose money 😮😮😮😮😮

Buy shoes because you like them not because of the resell value like a normal person and problem solved
You ain’t lose money if you wanted them. They just went down in resell value.
I knew this list would consist of most 1s and Yeezys. Biggest regret buying the FOG1 noirs on release day. I paid $600. If I would have waited 2 months I could have grabbed them for $400. I’m usually patient wen it comes to shoes so I don’t have any horror stories more learning moments
Dude isn't losing money at all! RUclips is making up for that plus way more. It's all 🧢. It's an investment for clickbait
Walking in that damn water in those L&F’s is wild. Super collection though!
He makes the money back in the videos, there’s not a lot money really being lost here😂
Now you should also make a video regarding the revenue you made from the review of these 10 shoes. Only then you’ll know if it was a loss or a profit in totality 😂😂
P.S. You are my favourite sneaker reviewer on youtube. The best ❤
$518 for the Marina Blues 😂 😂 😂 why do we listen to this guy 😂 rookie
Next you should do sneakers you gained the most money on , like your best retail pick ups
Gotta respect this upload our wallet hearts go out to you my man, thanks for your generosity
Thank u for your content 🙌🏻 and early reviews. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 send u a respect as a real sneakerhead 💥
I got a pair of Lucky Greens in StockX for under retail, nice pair imo and saved some money waiting for them to go for the low after they dropped. Nice video man!
Elliott didn't really lose money or as much since the YT payments make up for the lost amount.
Also tax write off
Ok good there is hope. Found one with common sense😂😂
@MomoUraKinRyu100 depending the country it could be a tax write off. In the US the shoes would be inventory until he actually sells it, then on the sale, the loss would become a tax write off.

He ain't pay for shit. Come on now guys.
Where do you buy your hoodies? They look sick!!!
Elliot I thought should do a how to lace up your shoes video!
What do you think of the NB 2002RD’S?
My man is acting like he isn’t writing these as a tax write off
Big up yourself mate. This is one of the most original content on sneakers I’ve seen in a while. Keep up the good content
Two thoughts: it’s not a loss if you actually keep the shoes and why are you deliberately wearing your shoes in puddles?!
I managed to cop the L&F at £145 retail from wait for it………..Offspring of all places. To this day I’ve no idea how. And to this day I’ve not even taken them out the box 😂
If I don’t hit for retail it’s on to the next. Simple.
I own two pairs of shoes. A $30 pair of Nike running shoes and $100 dollar Jordan 1 mid. I love all of these shoes, and I especially want the born and raised dunks, they’re really nice.
Bro you be taking Ls (financially) so we can take W's! You a real one brother! Thank you for all you do!
Seems like the J1s are sitting this year so far, and I am happy about it as I liked many releases and was able to buy them for retail.
He does the indian method
the pain in his voice talking about it... man we appreciate it
Watching this while wearing my retail palominos! Thanks for all you do 🫡
Damn bro I'll watch your video again with the ads just cause I feel bad 😂😂😂
we've all suffered L's on some shoes whether on a trade or paying resell. The market as it currently stands is on a downturn. maybe the demand picks up during the holiday season since people will be looking for gifts.
Those Yezzy Compcts got me too.
Yeah, I’m a huge collector too and I’ve never taken those big of L’s for a cop then what you can get it for now. 🤦🏽
I appreciate your honesty -- we have all been there!
I would honestly still be so happy
what hoodie are you rocking in this video?
I have a suggestion for Sunday why not: weekly sneaker news
hey elliot, were is. your hoodie from?
I’ve got Jordan’s 1 -7 og sealed in plastic never been worn since brand new
To be honest the Donkey Dix 3 and 4's sold for over $5000 on release but are now selling for $75 at Marshals and TJ Maxx. Imagine buying shoes for that much and losing it all
I would cry
Would be more interesting to see the numbers with the payout from the early review videos factored in 😂
The biggest L I ever took was 1,200 I bought the Travis Airmax 1 after the cancellation and had them for a few months before they came out and now they cost $300 😔
What's a bigger L on your Marinas is that you don't even have white shoe laces in them.
But even you paid a lot and the value dropped few months or year later. The value will pick back up in 3 to 5 years of holding them?
Well, paying premium for a shoe prior to the release is a little different.
I want to know where you checked the actual prices for the Born x Raised and for the Lost and Found... both are too low
Buy high sell low
I was waiting for a Patreon plug at the end but it never came. Well done
Paid $330 for the craft 4’s and they ended up going for pretty much retail, that one hurt
Slate red cmpct is underrated
500$ FOR WASHED BLACKS???
I need to see some fact behind these number cause 460-380=80 and nowhere have I seen lucky greens under 121 for documented sales or for sale 4:05
Great vid! Really enjoyed it.
To be fair, take a video, which shoes you buy cheap and sell much expensive. Thanks :)
Really like how u keep it real EP…we’ve all taken a L in this sneaker wild Wild West 💯
dylan page is our news daddy elliot page is our shoe daddy
Why do people in US collect only Nike (Air, Jordan) ? I mean 99 % of RUclipsrs have shelves filled with all kind of Nike sneakers. Why there is no Adidas, Reebok, Asics, New Balance etc. ? Do people only wear Nike in US (while other brands are not popular at all) or are there any other reasons ?
Great vid concept… welcome to the shoe recession!
Why the hell would you pay that much for the lost and found? The max I saw them going for, even close to release was like £500
You not losing money, you making videos with them and getting your money back
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but how did you lose over 300 on born raised when they’re only $100 less now than when you bought
What are the pants u wear 2:05 ?
It's all relative isn't it. Like there are a few pairs I paid resell for and I set a limit on what I think a shoes value is to me personally but the thing is, not once have I ever seen them as investments.

yo mr page where did u get your cargos from at 2:08
The wash grey where sitting where i live I can’t believe you paid 500$ 😮
what brand hoodie is he wearing in the video⁉️
Where’s a good place online to get sneakers?
I’m also sitting on a pair of mono mists still 🤣 crazy how much you paid!!
Also; got (un)lucky with the (retail) win of 5 pairs of lucky green. It was a cheap month afterwards
Heyyy.. pls pls share a few spot u buy ur shoes from. Pls!
Lost & Founds, Washed Denims, and Palominos will bounce back
the same video but with the most you won, the steaaals
Damnnn sonnnn....and I thought I got robbed!!? 😂😂
I think the Dark Marina is probably the biggest L cause those restocked sooooo many times. It’s okay mate we win some we loose some 😅😂
Should I invest in Jordan 4 red thunder
No, you shouldn’t be looking at any shoe as an investment.
spending designer money on jordan's is wild 🤣
Should’ve waited for the jordan 1 low black toe’s price to drop. I missed out on release day I thought the price only would go up after that considering they were og colourway. Not rapid but I thought I could save some money. Now they are 130 in my size 😂. Dayum 🤣
Buy High, Sell Low
Need 10 most profited yes as well
that was me for the yeezy slide slate marine.......
i lost like 50-75 bucks
Money is nothing to you. You got it 😂
You may have lost money on those tendencies, but you gain a lot of people on your subscribe, so it kind of even to self out
Yellow travis scott air max ones i spent 330 now they 200 😮💨
Meanwhile me.. I spend big on a shoe only to wear it. I just dont really like to resell them..
Luckily i waited on the L&F managed to get one for 350 gbp few months ago and rn is my most worn shoe
you da GOAT! thanks for taking the hit for us fam
Bro you need to know the total numbers of shoes releasing and STOP BUYING BEFORE AND JUST AFTER RELEASE !!!
Where and how does he buy them early
I'm sure you've made your money back through RUclips views. You're a content creator so it comes with the terrority
How much profit did u make in YT revenue for being early? Likely you are in a large positive balance.
I don’t always make the money back but the value of making the content that people want to see is the payoff
Resellers are the reason sneaker wearers cant cop. My local resale store has over 100+ pairs pf TS AJ1 lows and many more of 3s and 4s collecting dust
I paid 430 for the Curry Dunks and now they’re 120 😂
Why not have a relationship with a reseller plug who can lend you the shoes just for the review?
