Collecting shoes is an addiction



compared to the people featured in this video, i only have eight pairs of basketball shoes. but i have to admit that collecting shoes is an addiction.

i already blogged something about my story as a basketball shoe collector. like any other collections, collecting items is a treasure hunt. and i can surely relate with people who bear long lines in order to cop their personal "holy grail." i may not actually have eight legs to have each pair hit the ground, but there's something about getting that shoe that i really want. every pair i cop has its own story to tell, whether it's in the feet of the basketball player who wore it or in the way i personally got it.

this "sneaker game" has gone to a different level with retros getting released and new shoes showing up on shoe stores and even in the internet. though the "sneaker game" has gone overboard lately, i have to say that i'm still going to play it. next up in my list is the air jordan 11 breds (black-red) which is coming this december.

collecting is a passion. it's either you get it, or die trying.
