do you guys get flamed at school or work for having so many pairs of shoes?? at school last year i used to get flamed so much, even by teachers because i wouldhave a new looking pair of shoes almost every week. how about you guys?
 
I get some "What a waste of money" looks and comments

On the other hand, i get some "oh u fresh" comments

Either way, all i care about is my sneakers.

i live in a jewish "rich" community so everyone here are ether skater druggies, or jocks... as you know they both dress kinda bummy. In my school weget kids from boston to come into town for better education purposes and they dont get flamed... i guess its because they are from the "ghetto" thatswhy they could dress like that and not get flamed. im actually MAYBE 1 of about 5 people in my WHOLE school [population 1000] that actually care about lookinggood.

Thats EXACTLY what i hear
 
people at work would be like, "another pair? how the hell do you keep them so clean?"

they only noticed because i never followed the dress code. i aint wearing a dress shirt and slacks everyday in the summer, @+%$ that

I always get a "you need to calm down with shoes" from my friend. Funny thing is he claims to be a sneakerhead with his 3 pairs of dunks...ironic

i used to go through that, sold 70 pairs in the past 2 months, office life/getting older leaves less room for shoes and more rooms for loafers, mocassins andwork clothes.....I miss it though
 
I just don't tell anyone I have that many sneakers. I just tell them I have around 5 pairs. seems to work

I'd say that most people couldn't care less. I also don't care what you think. I don't wear anything because it pleases other people.

Just used to let the kicks talk for me. New pair everyday the cycle never ended unless i had some crazy colors like easters af1 that u cant wear everyday.
 
Yea it was fun back in the day. Now i just need like 2 pairs of kicks and some stacys. I still have 4 pairs of my most ascetically pleasing jordans, that justchill in their box for eternity.

But yea back in highschool i used to get every type of sneakhead comment you can think of. I used to walk funny so i would bend shoes i payed almost 200for(makes no sense). I made sure to keep my distance from people walking around me. It's crazy what a dude obsessed with his sneakers is thinking aboutcompared to everyone else.
 
My collection went down quite a bit.. and I only wear the same 3/4 pairs everyday.. (I have about 30)
 
id have to say more haters than anything specially around work haha it goes like this

"damn any new pair??""

naw these aint new i just know how to take care of my %%* homie!!!! haha
