Most Meaningful Pair: Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low “Miami Nights”
“Any rare shoe is going to be hard to find, but wearing a size 14 doesn’t make it any easier. Production in my size is always limited in quantity, so as time went on, the chances of me getting a pair were fading fast. Over the course of my search, I had a lot of close calls. In those situations, the pair was either one size too big or too small, the condition wasn’t up to my standards, the price was too high, or the person who owned the shoe was not looking to sell. Finally, after two long years, I found a pair that met all my standards. They were my exact size, in DS condition, with the original box, and the price was fair. All sneaker collectors know the incredible feeling you get when you finally hunt down a pair you have been scouring the earth for, especially when it’s one of your all-time favorite pairs. Every time I look at this shoe, I think back to the struggle it took to get them and it always puts a smile on my face. Although this story is about shoes, it can apply to anything in life. If you want something bad enough, you will find a way to make it happen!”
