This is sooo true, especially the cleaning toolkit one. I clean my kicks religiously. Gotta stay lookin’ fresh.

Here’s another one: You know you’re obsessed with sneakers when you’re a law student that rock kicks even when dressed up in a suit, until you ABSOLUTELY have to put on dress shoes.

there should probably be something like…
“you get mad when you see people wearing fakes sneakers”

or

“you laugh inside yourself when u see some one wearing fake kicks”

Great Piece!

I really like how you used “words” to get “inside” the mind of a sneakerpimp…

I feel obligated, however, to mention Etonics (the “forgotten” sneakers) and how they’ve never gotten enough credit in sneaker history. They were way ahead of their time technology-wise, used forward-thinking materials and unveiled a slew of brilliant designs that appealed to both 1. Math nerds and 2. Rockers/Metalheads.

And we would be remiss if we also didn’t celebrate the fact that Dominique “the Human Highlight Film” Wilkins once had a signature line of Brooks, which I believe a certain “Viper” also once owned.

If Dominique had won that infamous Dunk contest between him and Mike in ‘88, who knows? Maybe they’d be constantly reissuing ‘88 Brooks “Dominiques” instead of Jordan IIIs….

Or maybe not.

I knew I was addicted to sneakers when I found myself renting a 12 x 12 storage room (climate controlled, of course) to store my neverending accumulation of sneakers in. I had to create a legend to show where each pair is located. Floor to ceiling being about full in that one, I’m as I type, contemplating a second 12 x 12. Sick? U b the judge.
