Any sneakerheads on here?

Does anyone collect or have a general interest in shoes/sneakers? Don't even have to be Nikes/Yeezy/Jordan's but just more interest than the average person with what goes on your feet. Just wondering how common this interest is within finance since the last thread on this was in 2013 before StockX was even a thing and I know the culture has grown a lot. 


If so, how big's your collection? What's your favourite pair? Most expensive purchase?

I’m obsessed with Nike Zoom Fly 3s. I have about 10 pairs in all different colors. 

Some favorites:

Zoom Fly 3 NYC

-

Zoom Fly 3 Premium Sequoia

I’m not that into shoes (mostly because I can’t afford them) though I do love my Jordans and my pair of Lebron 12s. I dont know if any of you of you have that pair of shoes that are old but you wear them a lot because you’ve broken them in and that just fit like no other shoe does.

Used to be, but moved on since I move/travel a lot and prefer a dressier style now. Always been an airmax head. Right now really into New Balance - the 997Hs are sick. All time favs are the AM1 classic red, and the AM97 silver bullet. My grails are the AM 97 'kashima antlers' and the AM1 atmos pair. Don't really go out of my way to pick stuff up these days, just keep tabs on what's coming out from time to time, and try to keep a fresh pair of the classics on hand (AM1, AM97, AM90, AM95...). Last pair that I was legitimately hyped about were the AM97 Hanshin Tigers. Also, the AM270 Reacts were solid

 

I have a very small collection, I think like 8 pairs. My interest really fell off with the rise of discord channels, bots, twitter pages etc. it just became too time consuming for me. My collection mainly consists of Jordan 1 Retro Highs and Yeezy 350's, although my favorite pair is the Off-White AM950Desert Ores. Nowadays I just keep an eye out for any Jordan 1 Retro CW's that stick out to me.
