    I rock J's and I rock a 3.7 gpa. So for the people saying don't worry about sneakers just worry about school is a goofy comment. You can have a hobby or another interest and STILL do well in school.

    I'm a sneaker head Nike employee... I've been one for a while now, and honestly
    I'll never spend more than $150 on a pair of shoes. It's just not worth it by any means. Even with my discount or without it.
    I'd rather travel and save money bro. $2000 on shoes Is just foolish. It's not cool.. Go see another country or go on a vacation

      Trust me, that will change bro!
      -you will be ready to murder for vacation time once you get into your career and start advancing.
      Those vacation memories and experiences will be things you will talk about and reminisce over for years to come.
      I don't remember all the sneaks, jerseys, clothes, jewelry, and other crap I wasted money on when I was younger.
      But I will never forget the first time I walked onto the balcony of a hotel room, looked out and thought to myself "Damn, I'm on vacation in a foreign county!"
      But hey, to each his own-its all perspective I guess?

    I'm purely a sneaker (trainers UK) wearer, I understand the emotional connection with shoes, they can remind you of your youth, and hold an element of nostalgia...I respect the collectors and I'm always intrigued to what they have. I can be repping in about 5-6 pairs at a time, but once they've served me, as a shoe....they're binned and I get new ones...I wish I had the space and money to collect...but I admire those that are trying to preserve an historic catalogue of sneaker history...and more to the point, a personal collection rather than following the crowds...nice video. All the best.

    My advice for people who wanna be sneaker heads #1 it takes years to accumulate them #2 put $20 -$40 a week away and when u got enough pounce #3 don’t buy shoes u won’t wear unless you feel like it’s a good investment. # don’t use a credit card unless u got rich parents or a great job.

  • @akajeffchang
    @akajeffchang 8 лет назад

    another good way to start off as a sneakerhead ( if your in middle or a miner in highschool ) is to buy shoes you like , not like $800 ones unless your expecting to resell them... instead buy fair priced ones like futures or maybe retros, then when theyre older they might be worth more from popularity. if not sell them for far under retail and another for way over.

    But The Saddest Part Is That Yall Let Them :(
    Hope you'll catch on soon and stop spending your whole check on shoes that cost only 5 bucks to have ling ling make.
