Valid question.. Don't think anyone will get offended in this thread..
For me is more of a hobby/collection.. I have over 50 pair of sneakers.. 85% I don't wear. Some I wear seldomly.. I mostly wear, slippers and flip ons.. And dress shoes for work..
I will be honest why I like collecting shoes and watches ( over 30 watches ) .. Growing up my parents could not afford some of these things.. My freshman year I played with a pair of sneakers called " Voit " or some name like that.. My feet would hurt like hell.. But I would play through the pain.. My teammates had decent sneakers and some of would have the latest J's... I won't lie.. I was jealous.. It sucked.. Not so much becuase of the brand, but the fact that I never said anything when I was in pain.. One time I did, and my teammates made fun of me.. " cheap ass shoes " lol.. They were right.. But thats all my parents could afford. Sophmore year I didnt play.. Years later i bought some J's.. Jordan 13's.. Most confortable sneakers ever.. At that time I really didnt play anymore, just bought them to try it out.. Ever since then, I've been buying J's.. Not as some people do.. But 1 or 2 pairs a year..I guess what Im really saying is, now that I can afford it.. Ill buy it... When I have friends over, i showed them my collection and they dont believe it.. Why ? I rarely wear them.. And some of them tell me is not my style.. I tell them, they are right.. But I do it for self gratification I guess.. And even maybe It makes me think of that Freshman year... Despite my feet hurting it was one of the greatest time of my life.. And To top it off.. I banged my first chick ever that same year, and I was wearing those damn voit sneakers ! Lmao..
