For the first time in a long time

I decided to were nice shoes out. I haven't worn these shoe in over a year. All I have been wearing is the same four pairs of shoes out, but in actuality I have over fifty pairs, most of which have not seen daylight in years. Why I have not told you about it in all my years of blogging, didn't seem that important.

I am not a shoehead, not anymore. There may have been a time when I went on niketalk forums and checked the hypebeast blog, but now those days are over. I haven't bought a new pair of shoes in over two years or so.

I am thinking that I should, at least once a week, break out a pair of shoes that I haven't worn in a while.

Today I am wearing a pair of Nike Dunk SB Tiffany's AKA Diamonds. The quintessential hype shoe of hype shoes. Back in I think 2005 Nike released these things, pretty much sold out immediately in limitedish release (numbers wise, they probably aren't limited at all, and I am talking about genuine ones) and were the end of Nike SB' obscurity. They are nicknamed tiffany's because they look similar to a box from the store tiffany's, the robin's egg's blue, sliver ribbon, black lettering and such.

Shoe collectors are a dying breed, I guess it was a sort of fad though, Nike started making shoes specifically for this niche audience and once ESPN put a show on just for shoes and collectors it got to big for the sneaker subculture, the people who liked collecting shoes because it was a unique thing to do moved on to something else while others had to sift through the Nike swill that they tried to feed them.
