Question for the sneakerheads.

[dunksnjordans1992]

do you guys get flamed at school or work for having so many pairs of shoes?? at school last year i used to get flamed so much, even by teachers because i wouldhave a new looking pair of shoes almost every week. how about you guys?

 

[psykho]

Why would you get flamed? I'd say you get more props... not haters

 

[lrrr]

how do you get flamed for having nice things?

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

I get some "What a waste of money" looks and comments

On the other hand, i get some "oh u fresh" comments

Either way, all i care about is my sneakers.

i live in a jewish "rich" community so everyone here are ether skater druggies, or jocks... as you know they both dress kinda bummy. In my school weget kids from boston to come into town for better education purposes and they dont get flamed... i guess its because they are from the "ghetto" thatswhy they could dress like that and not get flamed. im actually MAYBE 1 of about 5 people in my WHOLE school [population 100 that actually care about lookinggood.

Pretty much. If someone notices, cool, but I buy them for me, not for the approval of some random.

 

[physicx]

people at work would be like, "another pair? how the hell do you keep them so clean?"

they only noticed because i never followed the dress code. i aint wearing a dress shirt and slacks everyday in the summer, @+%$ that

 

[jordanhead21]

I always get a "you need to calm down with shoes" from my friend. Funny thing is he claims to be a sneakerhead with his 3 pairs of dunks...ironic

i'm the same way. i wear sneakers everyday and i work in a office also.

 

[bostonthreeparty]

people tell me "you always got a new pair" sorta sarcastly, i guess thats the worst i get, but the rest is positive

 

[sneakerpimp2k8]

i used to go through that, sold 70 pairs in the past 2 months, office life/getting older leaves less room for shoes and more rooms for loafers, mocassins andwork clothes.....I miss it though

 

[aljayz863]

I just don't tell anyone I have that many sneakers. I just tell them I have around 5 pairs. seems to work

I'd say that most people couldn't care less. I also don't care what you think. I don't wear anything because it pleases other people.

[million dollar stacks]

i remember these days

Just used to let the kicks talk for me. New pair everyday the cycle never ended unless i had some crazy colors like easters af1 that u cant wear everyday.

 

[kanyewestjayz4life]

Yea it was fun back in the day. Now i just need like 2 pairs of kicks and some stacys. I still have 4 pairs of my most ascetically pleasing jordans, that justchill in their box for eternity.

But yea back in highschool i used to get every type of sneakhead comment you can think of. I used to walk funny so i would bend shoes i payed almost 200for(makes no sense). I made sure to keep my distance from people walking around me. It's crazy what a dude obsessed with his sneakers is thinking aboutcompared to everyone else.

 

[rudy]

no not really but i guess different areas are like that

[oh you mad]

My collection went down quite a bit.. and I only wear the same 3/4 pairs everyday.. (I have about 30)

 

[sneakerking757]

Flamed?

It was the opposite for me.
