Being a sneaker-head at this day and age isn’t as easy as being one during the previous 4 or 5 decades simply because of the photo attached above. Before, new sneakers would be released per year. An example would be the Jordan line wherein a new model would be released annually indicated by a number. As of today, the latest model is called the Jordan 34. As for new colorways, it would usually be released either monthly or weekly. In the modern era however, multiple new sneakers and colorways would be releasing almost every day to the point that it would be hard to keep track anymore. That’s where the problem kicks in.
Since new sneakers and colorways are always popping out simultaneously, it made me unaware that my system 2 is sometimes too slow to react and would be overpowered by my system 1, resulting to impulse purchasing. After learning about this lesson, it made me realize that although system 1 would give me the answer that my heart wants, I can never go wrong by giving some extra time for my system 2 to evaluate whether it is right or wrong or whether it is necessary or not.
