The older bro handed over his ignored and forgotten pair of golden goose sneakers and let me list on marketplace for a few bucks.

Knowing they’re not a cheap pair of shoes, I sat in disappointment on how he had treated them with such disrespect and didn’t have a care in the world. I continued to spend upwards of an hour scrubbing, spraying and brushing them from top to bottom to increase my profits the best I could. I yanked the soiled laces and tossed them out, borrowed some cleaner strings from an old pair of Nikes to give myself the best chances to revive this pair of GG’s.

As I began to surf the resale market to try and gauge my initial listing price, I was in an utter state of confusion with the similarities in “condition” among all of the GG’s. At that moment he knew…. He ducked up😅😅

I still laugh about it everytime it crosses my mind but can’t help but feel like a complete idiot for my cluelessness.

I just thought some of yall would get a chuckle or two out of my story. Thank you for listening 💀
