Fair question. I've collected shoes for about 10 + years now. There came a point in my life where I was in dire need of money and had to selleverything that I had off to recover from my financial difficulties.

There are some shoes I always wanted growing up that I could never afford. Shoes I saw release and pass me by. But now that I hold a few jobs, I am able topurchase the shoes I once wanted.

I have two collections - one that I keep DS and the other that I wear. The more rarer shoes, I do keep DS (like the city series dunks) for the sake of value.However I do have many rare shoes I do rock (mainly jordan's - 99 jordan bred iv's, true blue iii's, cements iii's, etc. . . )

I can't say I buy "what's cool". But I do like to buy shoes that I like that I know will hold their value.

Rebel 8 represent! One of my favorite artists, brands and kicks......all rolled into one. Good luck trying to find the Dollins. I couldn't find themanywhere in the Bay, but ended up in the last place I would have checked.

Re: Paris Dunks Responses,

Personally, if they weren't that expensive I would totally cop. I think that they're really simple and clean. I don't think they're greatenough to spend thousands of dollars on--frankly I can't think of a single shoe I would be willing to spend a thousand bucks on. It's just a reallyrare piece to have in a collection. I completely understand, though.

 

[chengdizzle]

Fong, that Rebel 8 tee is dope....

Yeah....the art (if that is an art) of collecting shoes DS is pretty much gone with the over saturation of kicks that are out. It was a lot coolerwhen things weren't retroed. I wouldn't even consider my small stash a collection. It's just a bunch of shoes. Every time I get all excited and copsome shoes or miss out on some, I never even trip cause there is always another pair that comes out that makes me feel the same way. But yes....to each theirown. I remember when it was cool just to know alot about kicks....but now I even think that is a little over top. I got schooled by some guy on Vans yesterdaycause I thought the Dollins were Alvas. He actually belittled me when I was in my corporate monkey suite.......but at least I can heelflip in them.

 

[flintgrey]

I guess to each their own. I have owned hundreds & hundreds of kicks, many which I never wore - not because of value but because I just never got around tothem. After I moved in with my lady, I had to unload rooms full of kicks because of limited space. Selling so many helped me put a down payment down on aplace, but they provided me years of enjoyment (and footwear - lol). I do miss walking into a room and "rediscovering" kicks - that was the best. Butlike I said, to each his/her own.

Fresh Boy, sick Uptempos. My size too

No heat for me - some Fusions on the cheap....

I have snagged quite a bit lately - I'll get around to snapping pics this weekend. TGIF!

Well stated above. The art of collecting and keeping a DS collection has disappeared. Chances are you won't catch me with a pair ofjordan's on my feet made before 2003 due to poor quality issues. I feel like I'm from a different era of shoe collecting in comparison to now. Ican't keep with all the new releases (sb's or jordan's) and IMO most of them are hot garbage now-a-days. I just pursue shoes that I wanted when Iwas younger and could never have.

Shoe collecting is a hobby to me - not my identity. I don't need to rock them to appreciate them. I'd rather just keep the rare shoes in pristinecondition if I can because I'll probably never see or obtain another pair again. But to each their own I guess.
