The "left over" shoes you have "floating around" is still a decent sized collection of quality kicks.

I don't have a blog. Is there some problem with linking to NT?Originally Posted by ThunderChunk69
but OP
do you have a blog or something you can post this? just for the simple fact that I'd love to link it, but don't want to link to a niketalk thread

No, I wasn't the administrator of that site. However, a vast majority of the photos on that site were my collection (well, at least at first... I'm not sure what happened after I quit).Originally Posted by oldshoe34

First, thanks for the kind words.Originally Posted by monday22
Good read, as a sneaker head in my 30s, its always educational to read about the past and how sneakers influenced someone (positively or negatively)
Luckily , I never got out of control with this hobby and my only "problem" is finding time to wear all the kicks I do have. I've only worn about 5% of my collection smh. I still double up on kicks I really Like which now thinking about it, is kinda silly IMO especially if I hardly wear the 1 pair I did unds. I've sold 1/3 of my collection and am in the process of limiting my collection to about 50 pairs of "heat" that I love and won't part with , but that gets harder with each new shoe I buy lol.., oh well always reassuring that I can hop on nt for comforting therapy lol
Oh and no hate but why do some people buy "slow" releases just to have the opportunty to buy limited releases. I've never understood that. Ive had opportunities to be a VIP at my local shop but I can't justify buying "slow" releases that I just don't like as much. I'd rather just pay a lil extra and get my "limited " releases on lock or even a few weeks early, just my opinion
Good read tho and have to agree that traveling to austraila or anywhere outside of the us is definitely a must do in life

Just curious ,when you were at your peak of collecting what was your favorite pair in your collection and is there any story behind it? (if it's even possible to choose just one) looks like from your article you you had a more 1's then anything else , I remember how awesome I thought it was that you had all the odd ball colorways that I had never seen before checking out your website, but I digress..... anyway much respect
I guess there IS one pair among my favorites with a story... not the story that MADE it a favorite... it was ALREADY a favorite. But, anyway, on my wedding day, I wore the formal shoes that came with my tux for most of it. But, right after the dinner, before the dancing and additional photos, I changed into one of my pairs of black/purple AJ10 Sacramentos. A picture of those shoes (JUST the shoes) now occupies a large part of a page in our wedding album.Originally Posted by JIM SHADY2003
