What inspired you to take an interest in sneakers? 

        Many ponder as to why people take up such a mundane hobby as sneaker collecting. Many 

people criticize sneaker collecting often regarding it as a waste of time and effort, personally i think 

there are two sides to this question as many people get inspiration from many different things 

not everybody shares the same passion and that is understandable. 

       Sneaker collecting is  costly but at the same time its a passion; while there are other things in life 

to be spent money on i much rather think that people get into sneaker collecting for the common cause, 

others see it as a way to look their best so therefore they collect as much as they could. with that being 

said there is many reasons why teens do it, of course adults do not understand much as it does not seem 

reasonable to spend so much on a pair of nikes but if it keeps them off the streets doing negative things 

that lead to a negative lifestyle id much rather agree that this is worth the time to look into. 

         Money consuming because people often over price the shoe depending on the following factors

the condition, the rarity, and how old the sneaker has been since it was first release all these factors 

affect the pricing but then again don't let it discourage you can always bargain and get a sweet price on 

those new pairs of nike SB's you were planning to save up money since your birthday. One does not

need to know how the economy works sneaker collecting and trading itself teaches life skills this is 

theoretically how the economy works you buy a product for cheap then you flip it for double the price 

then you proceed to make profit then you do it again, presto a life lesson learned and you didn't even 

have to attend economics but that is pretty much the basic of how stocks work, same can be applied 

for sneaker collecting.

this is what most people aim for during their time as a collector
