When it started taking actual work just to buy a pair of shoes. I'm too old to be sitting up at 4am pushing refresh trying to buy some damn shoes. At this point if the shoes isn't on the shelf when I walk into the store I most likely will never see it, and I'm cool with that.

Also I realized I'm out of college and the opportunity for me to wear some bright colored 150 dollar shoes is going to be few and far between. My sneaker now are about comfort and adaptability. I keep some all white shells on deck because I can wear them just out and about but I can also wear them with my girl on a casual date and not look like a tween.

Sneakers are for little boys

"sneakers" where never my thing. Kswiss classics and af1 was all I needed for my dikkies growing up. My collection of boots are more valuable to me than $300 Chinese made shoes.

The adidas wave recently.

I knew I was a lil different rockin Brons instead of Js. But I liked em and some the old retro Js. Dions. Griffeys etc.

The adidas runners, then saucauny, new balance,then Yeezy adidas, boost lost me. But in my area Js never stopped.
