Anyone here into the sneaker culture?
Like you know companies A-Life, Crooks & Castles, The Hundreds, 10 Deep, Kid Robot, Stussy, Supreme, Mishka, all that other ish.
You know the limited releases from Nike to Vans.
AND you collect shoes.

Sorry if I'm being an asshole but I don't fucking get it. They are just fucking shoes. The only goddamn difference is color when it comes to limited edtion sneakers. Can you explain why is it something you must have. Why is it that you are compelled to spend hundreds of dollars on shoes that you rarely wear becasue your to afraid to get them dirty.They are fucking sneakers, they are meant to get fucked up!!!!!!! AHHHHH I hate stupid high fashion psycho bullshit.

Nah, I totally get where you're coming from Dcp. I've heard people make that arguement and I can see why they would think like that.

I live right by New York City, and the sneaker scene is pretty huge. I guess it's the hype and all the other factors combined that makes it so pricey. I don't usually buy those type of sneakers that are incredibly hyped up and costs over $500. It's also a matter of "respect" for a lack of a better word. And that really goes with anything you "collect". The rarer it is, the more you would want it.
I don't worship my shoes. Hell, I like my half-cab vans dirty cause they look better that way. Most I spent on shoes was roughly $200.

And it's also fashion too.

See to me it is rediculous to spend $200 on a pair of shoes. I destroy shoes but thats because I wear the shit out of them. The most I have ever spend is maybe $75. Like I said they are just shoes.
