Sneakerhead?

[lilhoody]

No Terry, this is not about covert hot-mouth...move along.

Any other sneakerheads around here besides Matt or Jem?

Check the following 10 signs, courtesy of Complex, to find out if you’re actually a lame sneakerhead…

I'm a boot head. I do only wear Asics Kayanos.

I have a lot of kicks, but I'm not a "sneaker head ".

My bro and his multiple $600 pairs of Lebrons aka south beaches blah blah
Is def a SH.

[bshappy]

One hobby I will never understand.

[CGSshorty]

I have an awesome flip flop collection. You have to be a pretty ghetto adult to collect sneakers.

In the words of a Hungarian master shoemaker:

"Sneakers!? What is the point of this pussyfooting? Walk like a man."

[ElChingon7]

Nah me either. A pair last me a long time these days.

Quality shoes or boots that are made of leather, that's where I'm at.

I don't even own a pair of sneakers. Closest I get is magnum or swat tactical boots with the sneaker like soles. I basically always wear a type of boot.

Aha,'Kickers' are the way to go. Each shoe usefully marked with a red tab and dot on one and a green tab and dot on the other. As long as you remember the 'Port' and 'Starboard' colours you always get them on the correct foot

+1. Talk to me about Red Wings, Aldens, AEs, Trickers, etc. and I'm interested. I still wear sneakers I bought in the 1990s.

I wear "normal" shoes most of the time, but I still enjoy wearing J's on the evenings and weekends.

I have some sneaker style Merrill trail shoes that are my sneakers. When I'm not in Crocs.

Quick inventory off top of my head:

(2) Danner Mtn Light2
(2) Danner Ft. Lewis
(2) Danner Combat Hiker
(2) Asolo FSN 95GTX
(1) La Sportiva Makalu
(1) La Sportiva Karakorum
(1) La Sportiva Glacier
(2) Zamberlan Civetta GT
(1) Vasque Sundowner (Italian Made)
(1) Vasque Sundowner (Chinese made junk)
(1) Vasque Summit GTX (Red Wing Leather)


I only buy US or Italian made although Asolo's are made in Romania-but have been for a long time. From my experience Italy makes the best hiking/backpacking/mountaineering boot. The only reason I have Chinese made Vasque sundownders-they were my favorite everyday boot but switched production to China from Italy. Had to try them out and they are not the same thing which blows chimpous maximous. My Italian made ones are 15 years old and still wearable.

Do I qualify?

Totally with you there! I consume sneakers, I wear Churches and Luccheses, suit and informal respectively.

ive been wearing Sanuks all summer. I really like them. At work I have to wear something with comfort/support so my pair of New Balance last about a year. I have dress shoes but rarely wear them.
and of course Crocs.....

You're a Hikerhead.

Buncha fags...

[toxicavenger]

Vans for me.

I worked with a dude in Iraq who had some J's that he paid 3k for. fucking crazy for sure.

Not into "sneakers" at all. I have one pair of running shoes (that I run in), one pair of Merril sandals for beach activities, and 2 or 3 pairs of old baseball spikes. Other than that it's boots, or some other form of footwear made from the hide of a dead animal.
