Sneaker collecting has evolved from a small hobby to a global obsession in the last 25 years. Most kids had two or three pairs of footwear when they were younger. They are now found in the closets of both children and adults. It's a tendency that cuts across generations and social classes.
Focusing on what you truly love, finding a balance between everyday kicks and ones you'll wear on special occasions, and then passing on everything else is the key to sneaker collecting. That, of course, is easier said than done. Each year, thousands of new releases are released, making it relatively easy to recognize, if not to acquire, something that will pique your interest on a weekly basis.
But if you follow a few simple rules, you'll be able to control your worst impulses the next time you want to buy those off-white x air rubber dunks you'll never, ever wear.
