Sneaker Imeldas

Damn, is it me or is this sneaker fetish thing straight exploding? Freshness mag has pictures of people camping out for limited edition Nikes. The NYT even felt the need to write about it. Shit's about as cool as stamp collecting now. Where is the art to it now? Finding out what line to bring a sleeping bag too? I could respect sneaker fetish cats when it was about hunting down forgotten merchandise. But now they just line up overnight to let Nike hoover up their wallets. Tragic. New formula: the rarer someone's kicks, the further I stay away from them. Posted by Abe at November 1, 2003 11:37 AM | TrackBack

as a sneaker addict, i beg to differ - although the new jacks have admittedly changed the game for the worse over the past year or two. most people on these camp-out lines aren't actually collecting, however, but purchasing for resale. and at 300-400% profit for the more hyped-up pairs, i can't knock that hustle (as much as i might disagree with it).

no doubt, got to respect anyone hustling for their dollars. 12 hours camping out for $300 profit? You could do worse.

but you know what, that's some serious unfortunateness for the kid who just wants the kicks. then again, the kicks probably cost a bill, so what am I even arguing about. ouch.

all I know is, I just dropped $60 for a pair of Pumas that I tossed an old pair of that cost me about $20 when I first bought them - like 15 years ago. Damn.

Other free penis enlargement guides are easier to commence. Most common are jelqing, dry milking, and PC free penis enlargement guides. There are also free penis enlargement tips especially researched and recommended for beginners.
