I know people don't get it and that's fine. It's not for everyone. Some people like certain fashions and for me and many others we just love sneakers. - Krusty Aug 3, 07:00 4
- People have their things and that's what we should accept. I don't get how someone would pay $4000 to go see a Super Bowl or $1000 to go see a play. - Shaun Aug 3, 07:02 1
  - Yup. Life is short, do what makes you happy. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:12
- *High five* to your last line. That makes 100% sense to me. Wearing them is different than sitting in a closet. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 07:01 1
  - I agree. Also, they have a limited shelf life. The glue will dry up and so will the foam in the sole. An NBA guy had a pair fall apart on the court. - Krusty Aug 3, 07:06
Sneakers are like Funkos to me. WTF are people doing withe them? Do they just sit there? Why are they still in the box? -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 06:47 7
- We wear them and like showing off what we have. Some sit in boxes because they're very rare and only get worn maybe a few times a year. - Krusty Aug 3, 06:55 5
  - Daaaaaamn Daniel. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 06:58
  - This is helpful! See I thought they were just kept in boxes (like lot of what I've seen on the internet). I totally get wearing them on a rare chance -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 06:57 1
    - Some people have so many pairs that they don't get worn and that makes no sense to me. There are collectors that don't wear theirs often if ever - Krusty Aug 3, 07:03
  - How many pairs did you bring to Boston? 3? -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 06:55 1
    - Yeah, just three. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 06:56
- It's like ticket touting for sneaker collectors. -- nm - LMS Aug 3, 06:54
