Completely random...anyone a sneakerhead here?

[TheOtherOne55]

Thought I'd toss it out there as I'm a big shoe guy. Rock everything I own.
Probably 50 or so pairs right now...have had as many as 80ish but gave LOTS away when i moved from NYC.

Just another weird little passion/hobby I'm into. It's a 90's nostalgia thing for me.
I have a ton of NFL/NBA jerseys and sneakers lol.

Anyone?

 

[Brock456]

Yup. Although I don’t wear all mine.they just sit there lol. Started selling some Bc of that so my collection has decreased.

Also a lot of nba throwback jerseys too.

 

[USMuscle9403]

Pretty sure @pimpman is your dude lol

I have two pairs of sneakers (Adidas samba and handball spezial) and two pairs of work boots lol But I like seeing other collections!

 

[qbkilla]

im the opposite of a sneaker guy but big into fashion

as a tatted white guy with a beard, I do not believe snackers ever fit my look, boots, boots boots all day every day. but I have found 1 pair that actually look good with my look and black jeans

gray new balance 2002. perfect shoes. I hate vans, chucks, im size 12 they look too long and narrow, these are perfect

Perfect look for the guys who don't quite look right wearing athletic wear but also doesn't give the "dad grilling in the back yard shoe" lol

Vans I also like but not for me, my feet are too big and they look too long and narrow

As for jerseys, I don't wear them but if you can pull off the look they look great. Raiders is a classic, niners, cowboysI always thought it would be badass to rock a Cleveland browns jersey. Ones I wouldn't wear ravens (purple), jaguars, panthers, Seahawks, lol.

Chuck Taylor addict. Mostly high tops and the thick book style.

And of course my 2 pair of redwings when it’s time to go dance

Love sneakers.... But I FUCKING HATE the only way to get them now... That Nike app is so fucking stupid... I’ve taken so many L’s...

If Nike really wanted to solve the problem they would stop doing limited releases of every fucking shoe...

Every SB, collab or Jordan’s etc that come out you have a better chance of winning the lottery 10x in a row than getting it on the app.. That shit infuriates me (if you couldn’t tell)...

SB’s used to be $80-$100 all day and you could walk in the store and get them.. Now with all this hype shit you’re lucky as hell if you get them on the app for $100-$120.. Then you have these reselling asshole who don’t even wear them sell them for 3x the price AND THATS CHEAP.. Some collabs are 10x or even more the retail price..

I wanted the “What the Paul” SB’s that came out a couple weeks ago, they were like $120 retail and IMMEDIATELY after they were sold out on the app they were on StockX for $950... WHAT THE FUCK?!?? Lol

ok rant is over...

 

[TheOneAlone]

I’d like to be , but it’s just such an expensive hobby.

 

[Matsuo Munefusa]

Nah, I actually have cool hobbies.

 

[benchmstr]

Nah, I actually have cool hobbies.

Agreed

 

[TheOtherOne55]

NEMZ, i got the L on those too.
lol I'm a dunk lover and its VERY difficult to get the great releases.
Peak interest, i was in NYC in the early 2010's and could WALK to different stores in BK or Harlem and pick up limited release stuff.
I also WEAR all my stuff and am not a reseller. I just remember not being able to get Jordans or Grant Hill's or any of those types of kicks as a kid and now that I make $$$, i can grab them.

 

[TheOneAlone]

Anyone else see how big of a sneaker head Dylan Gemelli is ? Lol

 

[TheOtherOne55]

I just enjoy the scene.
Im no reseller, i only buy stuff I LIKE and will wear.
I love Jordan 1's. Best silhouette is sneaker history. Goes with everything.
I own lots of em. MAYBE during the year i grab 1-3 pairs that I'm looooving. Other than that just a thing i enjoy reading about.
Its like guys i know who are into cars or watches.

Agreed

I like shoes but not really sneakers, does it make me extra ghey that I have multiple pairs of louboutins? No fruity ones tho some of them are just clown shoes, a lot of them actually....

Does it make me less ghey that i didn't actually buy any of them myself haha

 

[Biggerp73]

I'd like to be but this is my "collection" right now

This is the same reason I got into sneakers! Never could get them as a kid and watched all the other guys wear them.

I personally love Jordan 11’s and 3’s.

Not a big fan of the newer Jordan’s or Lebrons or any of those sneakers.

Where do you wear yours too?
I feel like they’re too nice for gym but also look weird going out in.

 

[Virtuous]

I’m a yeezy fanboy, have ten pairs, but wouldn’t ever fancy myself a sneakerhead.

Mainly wear sambas or slides

 

[machomadness22]

Just kind of became one it’s definitely kind of fun and I love to try and always look fresh when out and about

 

[275bills]

Oh my guy Mike is a sneaker head or a fanboy. Does it for the gram though. You feel me ?

can’t you just say shoe collection ? I hate some of stupid slang lol

 

[hawkmoon]

I am but follow probably a different path than most.
I like retro style more than anything.

I have about 20 pairs of Nike Cortez and 10 pairs of Pegasus 83.
I also have about 10 pairs of Saucony Jazz in all colors, but especially monochrome.
I have a lot of Jordans low and mid, but only classic styles (but with modern colorways).
I also like older-style court shoes like the Bruin.
I do have a few newer pairs, about 10 pairs of Nike React in various styles and colorways.

I also have about 15 pairs of Doc Martens, most 1460 (black, black monochrome, white, cherry, midnight) and 1461 (black, cherry, monochrome black, blue, graphite, etc), some dress shoes, Chelsea boots one pair of 1490 steel cherrys, and others...
