Got a decent collection and just wondering who else on here is into them?

A friend and I have just set up a Facebook page to share a lot of the things we have and what we get

https://m.facebook.com/thesneakerannexe/

Not a business at all so hope this isn't breaking any rules, just a shared interest of people that are into this kind of thing. Most of the sites/YouTube channels are American based and a bit serious, we like to think ours is a bit of fun but still with some decent content

Saw that a while back. Which one is he? One of the guys is a brother of a guy I know

EDIT - I'm guessing it's Neil as he and his brother own Chimp in Leeds

He's the last out the taxi @ 2.07

Another video here and he is in it a lot more. He's a massive collector ( probably the biggest ).

Yeah they're seriously into it. I've got a quite a few pairs (not counted them), but some people are mad on it. Seen the Darren Bent thing the other day? 50-60 pairs a month!!! I'm 2 or 3 roughly, obviously don't have that salary or else I might go mental too though

Isn't Arsenal Morris into Adidas. Has 30000 pairs, or 3 pairs in 10000 colours, or something like that.

Anybody else miss the Crooked Tongues forum?

I was into collecting before bots and social media ruined it.

I was one of those queuing outside Footpatrol for the latest SB release years ago.

Pigeon, London, Diamond Supply Co, Atmos AM1 - I had them all, still have some tucked away.

The bot thing is killing it. Also resellers are taking the pi$$ buying to just sell on for a big mark up.

The beauty of our stuff, I believe, is that we have all the old school gear too, not just Yeezy and NMDs (as much as Boost is amazing) like the kids on YouTube. In fact, my mum text me today to say she's just found some Nike Dunk 'Kermit the Frog' editions under my old bed...

I have the yeezy boots with illuminous soles. I like them because they look so pathetic.

Also have 3 pairs of unworn yeezy V2 in different colours which a friend sold me at RRP. They work at a yeezy stockist. They're in my size so I may wear them yet but I seldom wear sneakers so haven't worn them for that reason.

Not as much now as I used to be, the whole limited release rush and reseller thing eventually became tedious, still love a nice pair of Air Max though.

Cheers beer

You know the formula for how many trainers you should have don't you?

We've just started this little project, as I said in the shoe thread, I have loads of time off at work so can do the YouTube/Facebook videos etc. Just finding our feet a little then gonna do a weekly episode with what's being previewed, what's releasing the next week etc (this will probably come/start in a few weeks time). I know some of the American kids do this kind of thing, but me and the guy I'm doing it with (one of my good friends) were bored with the 'cool kids' and thought there should be something more light hearted out there, but still showing some of the latest stuff...

Not perfect yet, but the kind of thing we are aiming to do.
