I think it was getting my first pair of Kyrie 7's, because I did a ton of research and watched a lot of YouTube videos to find the perfect basketball shoe. Shortly after that, I got a pair of LeBron 16 Fresh Breds, and it just picked up from there.
Also from watching Qias Omar on YouTube. Some people hate the guy, but I really kile him. He kinda got me interested in it after seeing his whole collection and vlogs and stuff.
I literally just got into the game in like September of last year, so I'm fresh
For me it's just the culture and community around the whole thing. If you would have asked me a year ago if I liked the Zoom Freak 3's, I woulda said no, they ugly. But now I really like them.
Gonna get backlash, but it's gotta be the 350 V2 line. They are just so comfortable and they look so good.
Favorite sneaker I have rn is prolly my Zebras, but that may change because my LeBron 9 Big Bangs are coming in today
(I'm also very in tune with the whole LeBron line, as he's my favorite player)
