So at my high school, there was this thing where if your family's income is under a certain amount, your lunch would be cheaper. I had about 4 sneakerheads in my group of friends, and one of them had the discount. Instead of paying $2 for lunch, he paid like $0.38 or some random number like that.
Every day my friend with the discount got the little one-person circle pizzas, and we cut that in 4 TINY triangles and ate it for lunch. We all saved up our allowance throughout the year to pay for sneakers. I guess we lost weight from it, too.

Paying $150 or more for a pair. Smh... wasting money.

I haven't worn a pair of 'neck breaking' sneakers in about 4 years. I sold most and what I have left are buried in my closet. Some so vintage that if I wear them they'll turn to dust. I'm about to empty out the closet this week for the last few that are left and only keep the ones that REALLY want. So in sorting them I found a pair of the Kevin Johnson Converses that they retro'd like 6-7 years ago. I'd worn it once and then stowed it away in the closet. I think I paid $30 for them from Eastbay. Anyway, today I went shoe shopping (for running shoes - actual running shoes made for running, not neck breaking) and I broke out the KJ Cons. Walking through the mall, not really paying attention and then I heard "OMG bro! You got them throw backs! Where'd you get those??". Big grin on my face I said they're the KJs. Dude was all like "I know!" and I told him I was holding them hostage in my closet for a while. For a few seconds there I started nostalgin' about the "sneaker head" days.
Love my new Equalons, though. Fits like a glove.

The day after the fire red IIIs came out I wore them to school and we had a fire drill that day.
The whole school had to walk out to the baseball field and post there for like an hour.
It was morning and the grass was still wet. I took off my shoes and carried them and walked in the wet muddy grass in my socks the whole time to preserve my shoes.
Needless to say I was clowned by my friends a little bit but I was happy my shoes were ok

God I have done too much in my life for kicks
I literally use to schedule my visits with my dad around kick releases as a kid. I hated buying shoes in cities where i didn't have a connect or a "for sure" way to get them so I would always pass on weekend trips with him if it meant me missing kicks.
I literally told my girl we need to get up early Blak Friday this year to get my Black and Cement 3s even tho her mom is getting married in NC that same day.
Use to skip lunch regularly to buy sneakers

Most ridiculous point was how much I spent on the Grape V
I dropped 350 for a pair of shoes that I ended up selling for a 100.
^ That's crazy. The most I've spent on one pair of kicks was $190 back in '02 for a pair of concords. Bought them from sneakerpimp.com. Went to dude's house one day after class to pick them no answer. I was tight. Thought dude scammed me and stole my money. I hit him up on AIM and turned out dude was a high school kid selling kicks
You also know you've been too into shoes when every pair you own has some sort of story behind them.

I know I did my fair share of that.
