I agree about the term "sneakerhead". It sounds lame as hell, first of all. Then we have everyone wanting to have a label, so whatever meaning the term had in the first place is gone. When I used to hear it, I expected someone with knowledge, a clear passion for sneakers, and a dope collection. For the sake of not ranting, I'll just say that I don't see any of that anymore from self-proclaimed "sneakerheads". I'm fine just being someone who loves sneakers, no labels needed.
Envy is corny, but he always has been. Just like he's always had sneakers. He's not really a phony, just corny enough to take pictures like that one.
