Word...right after I graduated HS and went to college...being a broke college student FTL.
I'm still going to pick up the 11/12 pack though...first kicks I'll be buying in almost 2 years.
So...when did you fall out of your "sneaker collecting" phase?

i never really was in that phase.. i always liked sneakers.. always bought what i liked.
the only difference between me now and me 4 years ago is that i don't talk about sneakers all willy nilly

Its been one full year since I stopped buying sneakers, and I've saved more money than I've ever had, I've paid off two credit cards, which wereboth almost maxed out, and I've paid off my car note.
PS*
I'd much rather have a new whip, than have 60 pairs of the most hyped AF1 Lows, but thats just me.

Damn... a few years back.
Last pair of Jordans I bought? Last year, Black/Green Spizikes for RETAIL.
But I've picked up some stuff.. (nothing on a hypebeasts list though): leather Wallabees, Vans Chukka Lows, all white Dunks (for school)
Then again, like someone stated previously... I don't really consider myself a collector. How about wearer?
I know about dudes STILL talkin about "the game" and this and that...

after junior year of college. actually, i'm glad i went heavy into sneakers. flipping the many pairs i had bought me a ticket to japan and has been a nicesupplement to my rent, if i had spent that money on liquor or clothes, it probably wouldn't have increased in value, hahaha.

if it's a phase for you, you're in it for the wrong reasons.

The day I moved out on my own. Cant go around spending all my money on kicks anymore. I got bills to pay. Plus I used to work at finishline back in HS so I gotall my kicks discounted. And the shoe game is wack now anyways. Always walking into shoe stores and seeing all kinds of garbage.

Back in HS I never worked at a set job and just played basketball. After that I didn't care enough to spend my money on shoes and I don't even keep upwith nike anymore. A couple times a year I go to eastbay and get a pair I like to wear around and that's it.
