Tennis Shoes. Gym shoes, footwear, foot gear. Sneakers. The question that everyone wants to know about sneaker culture is… What the hell is even the point?
Why would I fill up my closet in my one bedroom apartment to the point where I can’t even open the door to walk in. Why would I want to be at a point where I can’t even get a slight scuff on my shoe before I never wear it again? And more importantly… Why would I want to spend so much of my hard earned MONEY.
Sneaker culture is a lifestyle that only a select few of individuals truly get. It’s the subcultures of all subcultures. Its the man above man. and more importantly it is the passion above passions.
