Nike SB Dunk Low BIG MONEY SAVINGS....I am SO TEMPTED!

- #Nike SB Dunks seem to deliver when many other models or releases don't to a lot of people. The Big #Money Savings pair that dropped this year is arguably one of the best of the year and I would have to agree. SBs can be difficult to get so many spin the block and pay resale...with them being affordable, did I finally cave and pay resale for them, plus another Nike SB Dunk as well? Or did I pass on easily affordable #sneakers for me to get one step closer to freedom.

I’ve always loved your real talks around budgeting properly but these talks about reassessing your sneaker buying have been so refreshing! 🙏🏿
Appreciate it! And glad they're resonating well with viewers.
I’m not one who does a lot of CZcams engagement and post comments on videos, but I thought this was a really good discussion topic. For all the years of not being able to get a Nike SB Dunk Low, I finally got my first W with the Big Money Savings. I agree, the concept was nice, but in the end I just didn’t LOVE the shoe and took them back to Nike for a refund. But that shoe is a good representation of 2024. It’s funny how when the scarcity doesn’t exist you can actually process the decision on whether or not you need to buy a new pair of sneakers and not be succumbed to the hype or the idea you are missing out. But hopefully with factors like inflation, resell not being as popular, and a downward trend in sneaker culture, consumers are starting to consider the opportunity costs and other areas they can (and want) to put their money to use. I can also relate with trying to get the student loans paid off quickly. I’m putting an extra $700 a month towards principal with the intent of paying my grad loan off in 3.5 years instead of 20, not to mention saving around $25K in interest.
One, thank you for commenting, and taking the time to do so. Two, thank you for the feedback and I think you added a great piece to this conversation.
The ability to slow down and process our wants and purchases right now wasn't a reality in 2020-2022 when pairs were flying off of shelves. Many shoes look good, even great, but is it the excitement, hype and FOMO driving the pickup and is it a pair we can admire from afar? All valid questions we have time to process today and like you said, weigh opportunity costs, put that money towards something we say is really important.
Cheering for you on the student loan payoff push. The interest saved will be massive and a great gift to yourself.
I love both of those shoes and I would also add the Rayssa Leal SB’s as well! And please keep giving this great sneaker content 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Appreciate it!
The moment I saw the Big Money Savings Dunks on the thumbnail, I smiled knowing how on theme it was with your channel. From your e-books to your budgeting and investment videos and how much it's taught us, it seemed so made for you!! If it's within your means and wardrobe compatible, YES go for it. I'm of the opinion that sneakerheads should go for those pairs they can point to and say it unmistakably represents their visions, personality, creativity, and work ethic. And those pairs should hold significant memories and connection. And it's now the point i've learnt to establish where I'm fully satisfied.
Remember the video you made on the idea of the pair that would retire you from the sneaker game? On my convocation day, I was blessed by my older brother and gifted one of my grails. My one and only end-game pair, the Powerpuff Girls Blossom SB Dunk. My heart was full to bursting at that moment and I'm still in disbelief I'm able to own this. To myself at 22, that pair represents how much skateboarding, animation, artwork and storytelling shaped my work ethic, talents, and creativity. It was a pair that put my undying love and inspiration from anime, cartoons and film on display, all wrapped in one of my favourite colours! No other pair painted the thousand words of my love for streetwear, cosplay, and the modern anime and video game scene. I know myself well enough that a younger 14 to 18 year old me would be head over heels with this, and I am incredibly grateful to my family for this gift.
It's surreal and hard to put in words, but claiming my dream pair of sneakers ironically placed me back to where I was mentally before I was into sneakers. It feels now like there's no need to chase drops and check headlines of new releases. I've found the pair that expresses everything I love, and only few pairs are capable of that. For a good while, there's nothing more for me to do except enjoy this pair till I pass.
It's a pair that will remain in my eBay cart as I near the end of the my loans in the next few weeks and we shall see if I pull the trigger or not. It makes sense no doubt in terms of my style and beliefs. Hard to argue with that.
I'm so happy to hear on an amazingly important day, your family cemented it with a pair that means so much beyond just sneakers, but also creatively and visually. Knowing you have a pair that embodies everything for you is true fulfillment. That feeling that you don't need to chase or check a headline is bliss. Enjoy it!
My fav pair this year. Craxy in hand and on feet. Trying to triple up.
Wishing you luck
Do it!! They’re so fire in hand with the turquoise lace swap
Dedication to the payoff is the priority but they're awesome
Great video TJ and stay the course big time 😮 😂
That's the plan!
I've had both in-hand and I would go with the Tightbooth every time. Love your videos!
Thank you!
Great pair, the bms is on my list. So happy you’re almost done with student loans…the final payment is gonna be nuts! Excited to see what projects you’re working on….great stuff!
Thank you! To know fall, winter and the rest of life will no longer include them will be glorious!
I thought u were gonna say u bought the shoe!!! u are great at what you do but life is short and tomorrow isnt promised have a treat! keep up the good content
Appreciate it! Tomorrow isn't promised but a shoe isn't going to make life that much more magical either in the grand scheme of what really matters, from how I see things these days. And when tomorrow hits and the next month, being one step closer to financial freedom will feel far better, for me, than just another shoe.
Love the grind, keep at it TJ. I did grab big money savings on release day and they are fire.
Thank you and congrats, they look amazing!
Just bought the Big Money Savings off eBay myself. Prices are great right now
No doubt!!!! Insanely good!
We are almost on the same ship sailing in the deep seas of sneaker oceans. I've been looking at the dunks especially the Nike SB line. I am so tempted to pull the trigger. 😅
The dunk you mentioned is the Tightbooth collab. It is a nice dunk for sure.
Correct, it is and great pair.
TJ what are you looking forward to next year?
Not even looking that far ahead for shoes. Still focused on clearing more out and hitting other milestones this year.
Yeh it's hard to pass but u got a point. Do have the tightbooth dunk though. Got it on SNKRS when it dropped for retail. Nice shoe. Only broke it out once though so far
Nope, don't have it
I had big money and returned them because I knew I wouldn’t wear them. Have been trying to budget better recently. I think the a ma maniere later this month will be my last sneaker purchase of the year
I love that for you, being honest the shoe isn't for you is something I wish more people did sooner versus waiting past the return window. Keep focused on better managing your funds, it's an everchanging thing as life changes itself.
I been eyeing these also .. size 12 tho
👊🏽👊🏽
I like them for you, its very clean colorway, me personally I never been a dunkhead I'm more aj1 lows and af1s...but still can give the dunks respect when they do the silhouette correct👌
Appreciate it and AJ1 Lows have become a fav of mine
@@TalksWithTJ same here starting to pick them over the highs
While I appreciate your message of budgeting (addition through subtraction), I think there's a missed opportunity to talk about investmenting in self growth to earn more and not have to make these "tough" choices about where to spend $100. From age 30 to about 40, I invested in an MBA and invested many hours into working hard. Now, in my 40s, I have the freedom to drop $100 or $2k on a shoe and not skip a beat.
Saving and paying off debt is important, no doubt. Investing in your future earning potential is even more important, IMO. Maybe a good topic for future video. Invest in your career.
Well I already have my masters degree and that is what's being paid off in this very video. So yes I advocate for it but not at the expense of student loans, certainly not in this landscape when too many don't see a return on their investment.
I also CHOOSE not to spend a lot of disposable income on shoes the way I did in the past regardless of paying down loans because it feels wasteful with the amount of shoes that sit. This isn't a matter of $100 towards shoes or not. Two shoes were used to show close to the $377 or almost $400 extra I am choosing to pay down a debt fast and responsibly. Yes I could earn more and I do on the side which will be discussed in later videos. But very often earning more isn't always on the table for people's time. Making the best use of what they earn now with priorities will get them far. A few months of $377 a month has gotten me far closer to freedom without needing to do anything extra outside of current work and without running myself into the ground as many do just to remain afloat.
I have the freedom to drop the same and it's a choice. This video is about choices, and not doing something for enjoyment just because you can when it behooves you to sacrifice for a short time. The shoes are used to drive home a message because young adults tuning in are focused on shoes. Not a sensible and accountable approach to money mgt, that's not enticing, unfortunately.
The big money savings are nice. I wish I had a second of that one instead of a second of some of the others I have. I'd love the tightbooth pair but don't want to pay resale for it. I had a chance to get a pair that wasn't my size when they came out, but I don't like doing that. It would have helped flipping it towards my size but oh well. I'm having fun maxing out my Roth IRA again. Only a couple thousand left.
Keep at it and hopefully prices go down on that pair so you can maybe secure them one day!
@TalksWithTJ sounds good. I'm waiting for used pairs to hit the market. Between buying a new car and maxing out the Roth extra sneakers aren't the most important right now haha. Next it will be trying to max the 401k. I don't see that happening any time soon hahaha lol 23k geeze
The Vomero pair I wanted disappeared from the snkrs app.
Try secondary sites, likely below retail
@@TalksWithTJ no this specific one somehow doesn't seem to appear anywhere in Europe, but I can find it in the US from like 10 months ago
Really good shoe, I own it and it looks good on feet
👊🏽👊🏽
Are you a Mavs fan now?
No, I will simply cheer for Klay as well, but not a Mavs fan. Steph is still a Warrior. That started my fandom.
After watching this, ima pass on the Nike alphafly 3.
👊🏽👊🏽
Resale for under retail is a cop
👊🏽👊🏽
Some of your CZcams shorts are legendary generating over 100K views so in your case investing in sneakers can result in extra revenue if the content is consistent with previous CZcams shorts and videos 💰💵
Shorts don't really pay a lot, most creators will tell you that. If a long form video generates that view count, totally different story. And you're not really investing in sneakers as you are paying that cost up front, those views will likely not pay for the shoe up front (only during tax time do you see a benefit) unless you return the shoe just after doing your video. I am also hyper aware you can't control which vids pop like that, and the income from YT has served its purpose quite well for one of its main uses over the last year (in addition to other streams of income)...which I'll discuss later today.
