Hey guys. I collect Nike Air Jordans and I have over 30 pairs now. I put a lot of time researching about it and definitely show passion toward it. How could I turn this into something positive for college applications? It has gotten me discounts in Nike stores and developed my relationships with the staff. I also buy from other people in the Philippines through meet-ups so it has given me connections which enable me to get shoes from US and other countries at low prices. One of the things that interest me is that the prices of the shoes go up as time passes. The rate of increase in the prices depends on a variety of factors like the number of pairs produced, obviously the demand for the shoes, and the unique selling point of the shoes like for example one shoe that commemorates Jordan’s first and fourth championships. The price for the shoe skyrocketed within a week. When I bought it, which is already late, the price (in the Philippines) was 550 US dollars, now the price people are selling for is around 900. So there is a whole economics thing going on here and this is why I like it. Is it possible to use this as a strength or something that sets me apart or is it just completely useless?
