It's a collector's market, so the answer is, err, yes.

Some buy them to wear; some buy them to put them on a shelf; some buy them to seal them and resell them down the line.

A lot of people will wear them if they're buying the bots. You may be looking at 600-1000$ resale, so buy the bot for 200 and shoes for 200 and you're still under if you bought them resale.

If you also get a legit pair, then you could sell to make money.

Buy three pairs so you can wear one, put one on a shelf, and loan one out to friends?
