I have more Lebrons than I do Jordans.
How often do you wear Jordans and other sneakers when you’re not at work?I’m 99% out the “game”, waiting to see what JB does with the 17s this year. That is the only shoe I am waiting on, as it was the shoe that started my love for sneakers, and will be a nice full circle moment.
I’m down to 10 pairs, after having owned/sold hundreds over the years.
In hindsight I should’ve bought way less in general, and held on to some pairs, but that’s how the game goes for some.
At this point in life (33) I have different priorities and sneakers are a thing of the past to me. I enjoy the conversation/pics so I keep up with forums and sneaker media, but my purchasing days are over.

As long as you’re still wearing them on a regular basis, I’d say you’re still in the game.I’ve been better with rotating pairs in more recent times. I work from home so I mainly go out on the weekends, I’ll try to rotate 2-3 pairs throughout the week just from running errands throughout the week and going out on the weekend
6 shoes a year is still more than me.I'm not officially retired, but I'm just about there. My purchases are far and between from 20+ years in the game and now I only buy limited releases or retros that haven't been released in ages. I may buy 6 shoes a year now
I'm about the same age with the same point of view. Well said.47 y/o and been into sneakers since I was about 10.
Don’t ever really see myself falling out of love with sneakers. What this hobby has become, resellers, retail releases etc, those things I absolutely hate. But certain aspects I do love. Lacing up a new pair. Putting on a shoe with certain memories attached, etc.
With age, obviously we have other responsibilities and things in our lives to take up our time and money, but the love, the love never dies, at least for me.
The styliest most comfortable (especially) daddish shoes are asics gel lyte 3 the split tongue is a gamechanger. I bought my dad a pair and hes 60 and they looked fresh on his old feet.
if your looking to reinvent your shoe game look no further

P PremioBinSoleFlyUnion interesting post
I had no idea. My winning coffee mug must’ve gotten stolen by UPS. No respect.
For the past 20 years I’ve always had 1 foot in 1 foot out this hobby I think that’s the sweet spot. If you’re too into it you either get trapped in the fomo mentality or get burned out bc like you said it’s always the same models releasing. Also doesn’t help when fakes are so common which devalues everything and makes everyone suspicious of each other.
I have exactly 20 pairs. I consider my collection “complete” bc almost all of them are my fav models in colorways that imo can’t really be improved on or “replaced”. For example since the beginning I’ve always wanted some all-navy 3s with no gimmicks and traditional EP … or a simple pair of white/black 4s in MB colorblocking. And now I got the Georgetown 3s and Military Black 4s… I think I’m good for the next couple years
Getting older and not having as many things to do (dates, bars, homie links, random links, solo links, pre pandemic living) plus the nasty **** that's invaded the hobby is making it hard to have a consistent passion and love. The end of 2020 was it for me.. Nike dropped Neon 95s and made them limited like they were a collab. I was disgusted and my passion hasn't been the same.
Add that to having a heap of kicks from years of collecting.. a brand that does not market to you anymore or care if you have a place in this thing. Don't know about retire but I can see myself shaving away at doubles and stuff that isnt a must have. Honestly, always did over the years to off set cost but never from this perspective.
