Anybody else into Sneakers on the forum? I own a few pairs and over the past year or 2 have had a growing interest in them, particularly old school Nike and Adidas Sneakers. A pair that I would love to own would be the Grape AirMax 95s but they would set me back a couple hundred. *EDIT* If the Moderator feels that this thread belongs elsewhere please feel free to lock and/or move this thread.

I have a small collection of mostly Nike basketball shoes. I look for sneakers that match sports jerseys I have, but its such a friggin expensive hobby which is why Im not totally into it.

I'm a Boost fanboy. I have a variety of Yeezys and NMDs with no desire of collecting anything else.

I have never understood the Shoe game. I have always kept 4 pairs of shoes in my life. A work pair, casual pair, funeral/wedding pair, and flip flops. They are just shoes....

I used to be pretty heavy into. Would always try to get all the hot new drops whenever they hit.
Used to make a decent chunk of change off of finding pairs at thrifts stores, cleaning them up and flipping them.
The shoe game is way to over saturated now, that it’s hard ass hell to get into anymore without dropping a ton of cash.
It’s a decent investment if you know what you’re doing. When I fully dropped out of the game, I had enough to buy a car with everything I sold.

I've worn black Vans slip-ons for years. I can't see paying more than $50 for a pair of sneakers.
When I was a kid, we didn't have comfortable footwear. We only had one shoe and it was a size seven. If it didn't fit, you crammed your foot in & didn't complain. By the end of the day your feet were bloodied stumps. And that's the way it was and we liked it!

Always found it stupid to pay over $50-$75 for a pair of shoes just to wear them every day. If you’re viewing them as a collectible and not wearing them at all I get it, but unless you’re making seven figures or more a year, I think it’s dumb to drop hundreds to thousands of dollars on shoes that you’re wearing every day.

Flip flops, vans, and work boots.
I have one pair of dress shoes because of an old job.

Am still into sneakers, but I don't buy anything hardly anymore. I have around 15 pairs varying in brands from Converse to Puma to Adidas to Nike. I need a good pair of Pony sneaks, but haven't found any I like. The manjority of my pairs of sneakers are around $30.

Years back I use to collect OG & retro Jordan’s, then I cut back cause I was spending way too much on them. I’d buy 2 pairs of each. 1 pair to display/as back ups, the others to wear. $400+/- for 2 pairs per model was ridiculous. Times that 5-8 different models or color ways.
Then I quit it altogether cause even after the “cut back”, it still was too much. The last pair of retro Jordan’s I picked up were in 2011. As cool as the retro Air Jordan’s are, they’re by far the most uncomfortable basketball shoes that I’ve ever worn. Playing in them or just walking around in them kill my feet.
Now I just buy 2-4 pairs of Nike athletic shoes (under $80) a year (shoes based on comfort 1st then looks). Just picked up a pair Nike zoom air Pegasus 34s for $66. By far the most comfortable shoes that I’ve ever worn.

I've got a few pairs, mainly black or red leather with white trim. Walk London and Giuseppe Zanotti are my two brands of choice. I can't stand sneakers that resemble a rainbow or have Yeezy written on them.

Still collecting SB dunks cause I wear what I like, plus they've lasted way longer than any other sneakers I had. Used to collect foamposites and Jordan's as well. I stopped and lost interest when the whole yeezy and NMD craze happened. Thank goodness. I regret every sneaker I got besides my SB dunks. I wear them daily still. the whole sneaker culture was fun for me before until it seemed like people stopped buying what they wanted and started buying sneakers to impress other guys. That's what I think the sneaker culture is now. That and some stupid overpriced supreme item. As of now, I'm loving my WWE figures and hunting for them.
