Paul Rodriguez Regrets Skating in a Pair of $10,000 Sneakers | “Damn, I wish I would’ve kept those fresh in the box.”

Paul Rodriguez is Nike SB’s main man and makes a shit load of money, yet even he regrets skating in a pair of Nike SB FLOM dunks. They were created by the artist Futura and not many were made. That’s why when a pair goes up for sale they usually sell for between $9k – $12,500. He explained his regret in this interview with COMPLEX:

As a Nike SB athlete you get seeded a lot of pairs, but what’s the craziest or most expensive sneakers you’ve ever skated in?
I wish I would’ve kept them, had I known how expensive they are. There’s actually a couple. There’s the high-top “Tiffany” Dunks. Then there was a pair with money all over them.

“For the Love or Money” Dunks from the Silver Box era?
Yeah, the FLOMs. I had those and skated those. What else? The first Nike ad I had back in the day, I skated these Supreme Dunk Highs. They were orange and white with the stars on them. Those are probably the three, looking back I was like, “Damn, I wish I would’ve kept those fresh in the box.”
