I have no idea where to put this, but I collect sneakers for the entertainment value so I figured this was as good a place as any.

If you collect sneakers, post your favorites. Any ones coming up you're trying to get, post those, too. I love seeing what other people have and what they're trying to get. Generally, I love the sneaker community, though the secondary market irritates me.

Do you buy them to wear, display, flip?

If you don't collect but you like sneakers, which ones are your favorites of all time?

Anything about sneakers, post it here.

Also, if you have Disney+ and you like sneakers, check out the National Geographic's series "The World According to Jeff Goldblum" and catch the sneaker episode.

As a bonus, here's Goldblum shopping for sneakers with Complex

Will definitely keep checking in on this thread.

Maybe my new Icy Park mids will have been delivered by the next time I pop in.

I'm not a Sneakerhead by any means, but some of my friends are big time and have gotten me into it a bit.

These are my current favorite pair:

Probably my most exclusive:

And what I'm currently trying my hardest to get, but damn these are difficult:

I wanted a pair of those so bad when they originally came out. Didn't know they still made them

I have a couple pair of Mexco 66s from ASICS/Ontisuka. I love the way those shoes look. They are beat to hell now, but I'll never get rid of them.

I think those are going to go quick. Pre-release prices on secondary are like $450, so the bots will be out in force. I think they will be on the SNKRS app, though. I've only ever won a SNKRS raffle once, and it was recently for these that should be arriving today.

Speaking of secondary, I've only ever done that once and it was for the Jordan 11 Jubilees.

The PSG's are dope... Been seeing a lot of PSG collabs lately. All of it is really cool.

hell yeah im in on this one.

love those bo jacksons. had a pair that i bought i think in 09 but somehow misplaced them during a recent move. heartbreaking.

recent purchase was the air max 95s. i want to be more active on snkrs but with bots and everything it's just such a beating.

supposedly a pair of maroon and white 1s are coming out this year

Yeah, the 3s are such a nice look, but I'm really liking the color of those.

I don't own them, but I like the Nike Vandal Supremes. Brand wears them in Goonies, as well as Kyle Reese in Terminator. Quite retro.

I was real bitter about the dunks by you screw up. I got some custom AF1 lows after that, but hadnt seen the high version. Those are extra nice.

I looking at this thread and watched the video.

And I want to say something about the cost of the tennis shoes.

Then I realize that makes me a hypocrite.

I do think that blue and white pair of shoes is really cute though.

I also like the Asics. Nice colors.

I'm an Ultraboost guy, and have been rocking these lately

Love the ultraboosts. I think these are both up there for my favorite shoes ever when you factor in how damned comfortable they are.

Comfortable but ugly as hell.

I'm def all about the 3 stripe life and ultraboost certainly help. Even if not my "favorite" necessarily I own more than anything else

Same. I like adidas and I'm a sucker for anything with the old logo. I grabbed some of the crazy 4D shoes when they went on clearance primarily because they look nuts and I love the old logo that much.

I'm a lazy sneakerhead. I don't enter raffles or use bots. I'm a big Jordan (and Nike) fan. Most of the shoes I got are from the SNKRS app. I wear what I buy except for when I won the AJ1 Off-White "UNC". The profit was too good on those to pass up.

My absolute favorite is the AJ4 Travis Scott.

AJ1 "UNC to Chicago" (only released for women but who cares - they're the same as men's)

AJ1 CO.JP "Midnight Navy"

AJ3 "Black Cement"

AJ4 "Bred"
