I'd have reported it as $900 WORTH of shoes. I would not have wanted to share with anyone that I spent that much on a pair of shoes. CRAZY

Where are all the capitalists? They would tell you if someone wants to sell shoes for $900, and someone wants to buy them, then they should be free to do that. Just don't raise their taxes, so they can't afford to buy these shoes. You will ruin the economy. He worked hard to deserve these shoes, and those of us who can't afford them, because his company out sourced all our jobs, are just envious. What a friggin joke.

i wonder if he had renters/homeowners insurance. if he did, did these items actually go missing or is this a scam?
and.. $900 shoes is stupid. women with shoe buying addictions don't buy $900 shoes. this guy must be fancy.

You want to pay $900 for a pair of shoes? Go right ahead. Just don't expect not to be roundly mocked for that.

Air Jordans do not cost $900. They are either a collectable shoe from the 80s or a misprint like toe posted.

were they insured? that would make a good insurance claim , let me know the name of the insurance underwriter, I have a pair of Walmart shoes that cost $10, but i'll tell the police they were worth $200. After all, who would know.

Man, I've heard of Italian hand-made wingtips selling with multiple zeroes, but this seemed insane. But I looked on ebay, and sure enough there are Air Jordans being listed at over 1 and sometimes several grand. man

May be a collectible he bragged about and was targeted. I knew a man once that had a large collection and did this for a living. He told few people where he lived or what he did for this very reason.It is one of those hobby businesses that you don't put it in storage, because the storage isn't a safe/climate controlled, etc, as your home.
And as for women and shoes…it's all relative. If anyone has the available money to spend on anything, they will. Saying a woman who is into shoes won't spend that kind of money, isn't as educated on shoes as they think they are.
This is like saying a man who loves cars, would never buy a vette, just a camry. Lots of camrys, but never ever a vette.
I mean really, doe anyone need a vette?
(my bro and friends own/d vettes, I'm kidding here)

Jonas -
I had friend in Jr. High who always bought two pairs when the new models of the Jordans came out each year. One he would wear, the other pair would stay in the box in his closet. I wonder if he kept them all these years.
