If you may recall from this past September, Patrick George informed all of us about a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that were being sold new for $200 per pair at stores. Jalops laughed. I kinda liked them. But apparently the people who bought them were the smart ones.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

At least one collector has put them up for sale on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . That's right, ladies and gentlemen. In about seven short months, these bright red shoes have DOUBLED in value. There are a couple of other sites that are charging as low as $240, but I'm willing to bet that feet have touched them. And no serious shoe collector wants footwear that has seen pavement or bunions.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The lesson in all of this?

1. Buy weird stuff.

2. Hold onto weird stuff for some time.

3. ???

4. PROFIT

They are Jordan's. The uglier they are new, the more they are worth as time passes.

My son is a "sneaker flipper" and Jordan's have the most consistent return on investment. That is the standard flip on a recent limited edition.

Go to ebay and search for "air yeezy" if you want to see some real $$$ sneeks.

3. Drive yourself crazy thinking about why you would buy something so hideous.

I have a sneak(er)ing suspicion that he'll get close to it.

Lacing words with offensive goo is my sole purpose in life.

Watch it. I highly suggest you tread lightly with this issue.

Okay. BTW, sorry I tied your girl in knots last night; didn't mean to rubber the wrong way...

PSH! I'm done with her already. Her gynecologist, Dr. Scholls, wore her out the night before. I found out, threw her stinky self out.

Good for you. I hope you inflated her tires to air max before she ran, so her grip on life will be fleeting.

I did that very thing. I really socked it to her.

She'll probably go hang out with those musculoskeletal doctor jerks again. Ortho dics...
