I really don't like wearing run down sneakers and since I have a low arch on my foot new kickz help my arch without inter-changing insoles.

I don't collect sneakers, I wear them.
I like to look fly and not like a bum. I've done too much in my life to look like a bum. Plus I'm quite the fan of pussy, and looking fly helps in the pussy department.

i wear my ones, i dont collect, collecting is somebody who buys them to look at. i buy to rock them and shit on people. now jordans i guess you can say i collect. im mean ive been wearing js since 88, i still buy every mike released but i dont find myself wearing them anymore because everyone else is going to have them on. maybe rock the east coast spizikes in chicago since they werent released out here. or the black thunders once in a while. so i wear ones and i guess i collect mikes do to the lack of me not wanting to wear them.

It's a lot of reasons but I just like wearing sneakers. I used to watch the older cats in my neighborhood and wanted to be them. They had the gold, the gear, the females, and the sneakers, what I thought was everything at one point. I dont wear sneakers to be seen though. I was never a flashy person. It's mainly nikes and adidas in my closet but it's so many flavors out there to choose from that I cantstop buying. I like kicks as much as I like music so the collection will continue to rise.

i really dont collect bacause i wear everything. to me when u collect something it goes on display and never gets used. i just like clean hot lookin shoes
So i can have more choices on what to wear.

Im a addict for sneakers.
I can't stop buying them.
I buy what i like despise the hate
I hate wearing single color kicks with different color shirts. That's whack
I also like to break necks and admire them when i'm alone with nothing to do.

Some Of Yall "collect" Sneakers Because You Love The Smell?
What The Hell...............
I Mean, I Gotta Agree.........the New Sneaker Smell Is Great, But Thats The Only Reason You Can Come Up With For "collecting" Them?
Thats Like "oh No Baby, I Dont Wanna Fuck.............just Let Me Smell You"
I buy And wear Kicks Because I Like Them, Plain And Simple. I Dont Care If Anyone Else Likes What I Have On My Feet As Long As Im Content With How They Look...thats All That Matters To Me.
i dont collect sneakers, i just buy em to wear em until they're hulled out then get rid of em, but i do like buying new pairs so thats why i have a "collection"

This sums it up for me. When i was a lil dude, all the older dudes like my cousins and older neighborhood niggas was soo fucking fresh. My pops has an ill collect, mainly jordans and adidas tho, so it was something i was used to. Cats rocking clean sweatsuits and fresh sneaks with the gold chain. But them dudes was on the block doin the damn thing and i'm legit so thats the only difference. Now i cop what i like because how it looks, not comfort or any other reason.
I wouldn't say I collect sneakers, cause I wear all of mines. And if they are DS that just means I will wear them sometime soon I'm just waiting for that special occasion, or that I'm gonna sell them later on. If you collect imo that means that you just buy shoes to look at and keep DS for ever and keep them in lil glass cases.
I Buy shoes cause I simply love shoes, I always have I have no idea what exactly it is I just love them. I like the feeling of getting a new pair and like most of you have said smelling that new shoe smell. There is nothing else like it.
Whether it be that certain design of the shoe, the feeling or the color way there is something form each shoe(that I like) that just tells me that I have to have them.
Like dude from 40year old virgin and he was like in everyman its programed to attack drunk bitches or whatever he said exactly. Me I'm just programed to buy kicks.
Elementary I was starting to get serious with it. Then My uncle showed me some O.G Blk/red XI's and I think I had an wet dream about them shoes the next day lol. He told me they was retoring them in a few months and I had to have them. So I got me a pair and still have them. they not exactly in perfect condition but still rockable. I still wear them sometimes.
Fuck buying kicks for the bitches, I'll pull a bitch in some shaqs so kicks have nothing to do with getting them.

i collect to have something to really look forward to going out and buying
and when i wear my kicks i like to stand out from everyone else
i like putting on a pair of shoes that i got 5 or 6 years ago for the first time and having people ask me where they can get them, or coming up to me and telling me they're fresh
i'm just like "yeah i know"
