Sneaker Freaker. World's Greatest Sneaker Collectors

I have every Jordan from 1999. I bought 34 pairs of each. Brand new! Sometimes I'm about to buy something, and then I realize I already have them in storage somewhere. * AllDay, Brooklyn * I always viewed collecting sneakers as not only a hobby but a sport, and this is a competition to me still. * Chris Rosario, North Carolina * Paying $500 for sneakers was unheard of in the early 2000s. I paid a couple of thousand dollars for a Wu-Tang Dunk, which was just crazy. These days, that's nothing. There are 17-year-old kids buying shoes for $5k out there. * Andre Ljustina, Los Angeles * I am into shoes for one and only reason - the love of it! Nothing more. I can spend hours just staring at a shoe. Some people collect stamps and rocks. I collect sneakers. * Super Lalla, Paris * I have so many sneakers my apartment is a real-life Tetris game. When I go to bed, I'm not praying for better health - I'm praying that I won't be buried underneath a collapsing shoe rack!! * Julia Schoierer, Berlin * This game is not easy. Collecting 60 pairs of game-worn Jordans has taken 10 years and I worked hard to dig them out. It's all about the hunt. Hard work and hustling, you can't beat it! * Elliot Tebele * A must-have manual offering readers a glimpse into the passionate world of sneaker enthusiasts. * GQ * The most definitive sneaker culture magazine on the planet! * MTV *
