What becomes collectible is somewhat random. If there is a market some time in the future for today's basketball shoes, then they might be worth something if they're kept in pristine condition. But there has to be a market for them, and there's no way to predict that. If they were shoes that were worn by all-star players, that would be different. But just buying shoes in the hopes that one day someone will really want them seems silly to me.
I think it is, some people are making money collecting Michael Jordan's shoes. These are considered collectibles and if your husband is collecting the shoes endorsed by NBA superstars then I'm sure it will cost more 20-50yrs from now.
1. What if your son doesn't want to play basketball and likes, say, soccer?
2. Kids HATE old stuff, especially if they've been used already. I was a kid not so long ago and I hated every time my mom made me wear my brother's clothes.
3. It will sure take some years from your son to get a foot as big as your husband's
Just my $0.02 there.
That could be my pickup line. "Either have a child with me or I'll have to throw my things away". Sounds good! :thumbsup:LOL! We don't even have a son yet. Now the pressure is on me. I need to give him a son or else these shoes are going to a trash bin 20 years from now. lol :rofl:
My husband collects basketball shoes and justifies the act as an investment for his sons. You guys agree or disagree?
I'm glad to hear that. He's collecting Kobe, Jordan and Rose shoes. Really expensive so I hope he gets his return of investment real soon.
A place to debate everything and anything!
