Some of us have even gone so far as to buy matching clothes and accessories because we have already secured the purchase in our minds. Then, for any number of reasons, release day comes and goes and we fail to secure a pair. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, and sometimes months to years with our desire for the sneakers growing and waning throughout that time. Since today is Valentine?s Day, we decided to share our stories of shoes we missed out on, or previously owned, and hate that we don?t have in our collections. Which shoes are you heartbroken over not owning? Tell us your stories in the comment section below.<\/p>\n<h2>Brett Pickert<\/h2>\n<p><strong>adidas Jeremy Scott Wings 2.0 &#8220;Stars and Stripes&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n adidas Jeremy Scott Wings 2.0 &#8220;Stars and Stripes&#8221;\n<p>Even though it?s been a little over a year since this sneaker released, it still pains me that I didn?t get a pair. The Jeremy Scott Wings 2.0 is a great silhouette. These are especially nice because JS and adidas thought outside of the box, and highlighted how great America is in a high quality sneaker.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Ian Stonebrook<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nike Air Much Uptempo White\/Carolina Blue<\/strong><\/p>\n Nike Air Much Uptempo White\/Carolina Blue &#8211; image via <a title=\"Footsell\" href=\"http:\/\/footsell.com\/v4\/bbs\/board.php?bo_table=m41&amp;wr_id=224681&amp;page=5\" target=\"_blank\">Footsell<\/a>\n<p>Thanks to a loving\/generous mother, hand-me-downs from my big cousin, and the retro wave\/eBay coinciding with being old enough to have an income, I got my hands on pretty much all the pairs I really wanted at sometime or another; except one. When I was in middle school, a shoe popped up at Marshalls that even Eastbay Ian (not a real nickname, I just like alliterations) had never seen: the Nike Air Much Uptempo in white leather with Carolina blue patent leather letters. I?d come up on some pretty great kicks on the back racks in my day, from Antoine Walker?s adidas Real Deal II to a pair of wheat Air Jordan 6 Boots that I bagged groceries, shoveled snow, and sealed parking lots in. These were unique though. As a fan of the Tar Heels and a recipient of hand-me-down from my cousin Ty, I just had to get these. With no cash and a closet full of red-tagged team gear, these weren?t happening. The shoes didn?t fit, mom said no, done deal. I still haven?t seen these since.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>TeeJay Void<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nike Zoom LeBron 7 &#8220;Red Carpet&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n Nike Zoom LeBron VII &#8220;Red Carpet&#8221;\n<p>I know you&#8217;re probably thinking that these are not hard to find. However, wearing an 11\/11.5 in LeBrons like I do, it&#8217;s a matter of finding somebody willing to give them up in good condition, at a fairly reasonable price. I don&#8217;t expect reasonable anymore. I loved the LeBron VII &#8220;Red Carpet&#8221; when I first saw him wear them at the Garden. I searched high and low when they dropped, and still wish I had these. I will own them one day, though.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Pete Sim<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Air Max 1 &#8220;Patta x Parra&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n Air Max 1 &#8220;Patta x Parra&#8221;\n<p>This shoe is perfection. The burgundy suede is butter and the light blue pops like the old Phillies jerseys, which was a hot color palette. I had one opportunity to get these overseas and balked at the currency conversion rate. In hindsight, the overseas retail price was significantly less than double the US price, and now it is almost impossible to find a pair for a reasonable price. Sneaker regret is the worst sometimes.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Brittany Shelton<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nike Air Pippen<\/strong><\/p>\n Nike Air Pippen\n<p>1997 was the year I really started to love basketball, and it was also the year I laced up the same shoes as my favorite player, Scottie Pippen. I&#8217;ll never forget the first time I wore my pair to school, hitting the court to play &#8220;Bump&#8221; with the boys and feeling like I too could be as great as my revered #33. A lifelong love affair with sports and sneakers was born that year, and it&#8217;s all thanks to the Nike Air Pippen. I missed out on the retro, and still find myself longing for a pair. I&#8217;ve gotta fill the space in my closet soon.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Sid Ashford<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Air Jordan 1 &#8220;Banned&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n Air Jordan 1 &#8220;Banned&#8221;\n<p>Over the course of my life, I&#8217;ve been more than blessed being able to obtain just about every sneaker I&#8217;ve ever wanted for. In fact, I still hold many memories as a kid always being the first to have the latest greatest sneakers at the time. If I had to pinpoint one instance where all the factors were against me, and a series of unfortunate events created the perfect storm, it would have to be the release of the Air Jordan &#8220;Banned&#8221; 1s. Releasing only at Nike Outlets, I&#8217;m still a tad hurt I wasn&#8217;t able to cop, in my opinion, the best AJ1s to release in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heartbreak: Sneakers the Snkrs Day Staff Wish They Owned<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4653,"featured_media":273485,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[618],"tags":[1770],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Heartbreak: Sneakers the Snkrs Day Staff Wish They Owned | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Heartbreak: Sneakers the Snkrs Day Staff Wish They Owned shoes.
