Top 5 sneakers that I tried my ass off to get, but fucking couldn't.

Number 5
The Bodega X Converse Poormans Weapon.

This has been the best design on the converse model I have ever seen.  I was in Afghanistan at the time so I had my moms on the phone while having her ass on the computer.  She got my size, put it in the cart and waited.  As every sneakerhead knows with online only releases YOU NEVER REFRESH FUCKING EVER.  Gotta love moms though she was only trying to do right by me.  So these slipped through my fingers.
Number 4
Bodega X Lacoste Esteban
Another awesome drop from the masters of Boston.  I like Lacoste, mostly Missouri 85 and the Esteban.  I feel like a grown ass man wearing Lacoste, and I feel kicking every hipster wearing neon sunglasses at night right in the fucking nose when I sport 'em.  Once again I was in Afghanistan when these dropped, chilling in the computer lab.  With a 15 minute time limit I had to plan my sign up perfectly.  And I did.  Once again as I added to the cart BLAM!!! Fucking Mortar lands on the F.O.B.  Loudspeaker comes on saying everyone get in the bunkers.  Needless to say my ass was staying until I got these fucking shoes.  As luck would have it big wigs come in and  literally throw me into the bunkers. FUCKING DEPLOYMENTS.
Number 3
Nike X Kanye West "Air Yeezy"
The hype around these at the time was scary.  I was in Iraq at the time when they dropped and I was expecting to hear stories about people getting shot over these bitches like JAYS in the nineties.  I tried calling Majors and Wish from Iraq, but guess what?  Those motherfuckers wouldn't take my calls.  I was so pissed at the time I took it out on a plastic chair in my room. Which backfired right in my face.....literally, when I smashed the chair it exploded and splintered in my face.  Salt to the wound man, salt to the wound.

Number 2
Nike KD II All Stars
Once again a shoe that I like a lot.  I respect KD for making sure Nike would keep his signature shoe under 100 bucks.  I didn't like his first shoe nor do I like his current model( It bothers me that his fourth sig pair is already leaked.)  Nike doesn't show his model much love, but these kicks were sick to me.  That woodgrain with the clear sole and solid strap were a solid combo.  I missed out on these on Nike.com, but I found them on Osneaker.com(which is way to overpriced) the next day.  As soon as I went to pay for them, I noticed my credit card was expired.  I called my bank as fast as I could to get a new car, it arrived two weeks to late. BIIIIITCH.

Number 1
Nike X Patta Air Max 1 (chlorphyl)
I am still pissed about these.  I am nowhere near a decent sneaker boutique when it comes to Quickstrikes or Tier Zeros.  I found them on rmkstore.com and kixfiles.com, now normally I don't pay those bullshit hypebeast prices unless it is something I absolutely can not get my hands on.  I am not accustomed to the hypebeast shit most people deal with, I like what I like PERIOD, but with this shoe it became a race against those fucking pretentious fucks.  And I lost.  To this day I regret missing out on this shoes, but I can not bring myself to pay over retail on them shits.

If anyone has their own list I would love to hear it.  BTW all pictures are property of their respectful owners and I do not own them in any shape, form, or fashion.
