If you are of a certain age (30+) you remember time as a child, teen or young adult where sneakers were actually on the walls of sneaker shops waiting for you When sold out didn't really mean sold out because they got more the next week only without the line the initial anticipation the lines brought When Johnny "Idaho" Dinglesams was interested in other stuff like Jnco jenas and didn't bother with negroes and their silly sneaker habits

Nowadays I can have the money but the idea of lines, raffles and limited quantities has been too much to overcome. Shoe game isn't nearly what I want it to be...oh well

Get a bot....the end....

I never was a collector nor do I get excited over releases. I cop shyt here and there and I actually wear my shyt.

You have grown men out here with 20+ pairs of sneakers and not even one pair if decent dress shoes... pathetic. Shyt like that is one of the many reason black men aren’t respected in society.

LOL @ this shyt....speak for yourself clown...

Everything in life has been done before. If it hasn't been popular in 30 years and becomes popular again I think it's safe to call it the new wave. Nobody would've been caught dead in the dad sneaker 5 years ago now balenciago, Gucci, yeezy etc are moving them off the shelves.

Uh...u know how the runner craze started right???....new balance was caking 5 years ago....

never got into the game, grew up poor and plan to get in the game once I finish college

If you’re over 25 and don’t have a roation of these on deck

Spoiler

You really need to evaluate your manhood...

Sneakers are for little boys

.......the ol "you to old for sneakers" post.....I can't stand church shoes like that so I have these...

...what you have to understand though is old heads like myself started this shyt...some grow out of it but alot of old heads still collect sneakers........

When tickets became “a thing” nationwide (rather than some screwball idea to heighten hype in an already over staturated market) and kicks I already had were being re released within a decade and were going for a $30-$50 markup made with lower quality...

Case in point: Metallic V’s (retroed two more times since 06’)

That and Yeezy’s...

When I was growing up, the shoes that nikkaz stand in line paying $220 for today, I could walk in the store a week after they released and pay $125 back in the early 00s.
