How Much Money Have You Spent On Shoes?

[shawn_chrystafur]

So a friend of mine and fellow sneakerhead were talking the other day. And we were having a typical shoe conversation about past releases, future releases andhow long we've been collecting and buying Nikes/Jordans.. and he asked me "How much do you think you've spent on Jordans/Nikes since you firststarted collecting and buying?".. which is a pretty good question, especially since I've never really thought about it before.. so I ask you the samequestion NTers: How much do you think (if you had to guess) have you spent total on shoes?

Man I dont even wanna stop and think about it. lol. I just looked at what I spent on Kobes alone in 2009 and it makes me sick. Not counting Jordans I havebought on the secondary market and for retail. I've been buying sneakers since 95 so I prolly could have retired off what I've spent. Ok, I gotta stopthinking about this lol.

I kept track last year.....and to tell you the truth if I added it up it would probably make me not want to buy kicks ever again.

I'm sure I haven't spent as much as a lot of the sneaker heads in here but I've dropped a good amount over the years. All of the shoes thatI've bought were either to sport or to play ball. But I will say this, the amount of money that was spent on shoes for me > the amount of money I'vespent on shoes, so that makes me feel a lot better. Thanks exes.

enough to buy a car

 

[thadirtyburgh]

Ive been collecting heavily since 2002 and finally cut back a when I got married. Rough estimate would be around 25-30k

 

[jayrew]

way too much to calculate

man you aint never lied

 

[swingshot]

I'd say somewhere between 7-10K, but that's over a period of nearly 18 years.

 

[shawn_chrystafur]

well I've been collecting since I was in 3rd grade.. 94' I believe.. so I know that I'm probably somewhere in the 20k..

.. but I love my kicks!

 

[agentpd21]

For me being a 15 year old kid I would say 2k for 2009.

These basically sum it up for me....

if suze orman found out how muchive spent on shoes, i think she'd die of a heart attack, before slapping me over the head of course.

I'd say about 3K since I started back in late '07(which is not much at all compared to others). But my shoe networth would probably be 5 or 6K if Iwere to sell them all today.

 

[thadoogal23]

more than i should have, less than i would have liked
