Alright /vip/, I'm kind of a sneakerbro, but not those fags that pay a fuckton of money for mint condition air jordans from 1998 or whatever.

I'm mostly into skate shoes (DCs, Osiris, Etnies, etc) and I'm into trading with sneakerbros of similar interests. Don't you fucking judge me.

Well, sometimes trades are made with the caveat that the trade is temporary. Most of the time, it's a permanent trade or purchase - PayPal, Bitcoin, whatever.

I've been dealing with this one stupid fuck, where I told him it was a temporary swap and I reserved the right to reverse the transaction at any time and he agreed.

Fast forward to a year later, he tells me that it was a permanent swap and that's why he sent me two pairs for my one.

I have his kik and home address and short of driving halfway across the country (I'm in Texas and he's in Delaware), I don't know what to do to get my shoes back. Chalk it up as a loss? He keeps insisting that it was a permanent trade and he finally relented a few months ago saying he'd send them back when he was done with them. Today, he told me he's not ready yet and I've just written it off as a loss at this point.

I guess I just needed to vent.

Pic related. It's the shoes I traded and want back. They're super old and they're not sold anywhere anymore.
