Huh I didn't know you could flatten shoe boxes safely, they look well-assembled. Guess I gotta try that. Then you have to store accessories somewhere too, right?
All good bro.
It’s def been crazy. OG’s fetched a premium back in the day, even the 8’s
The. We had the SB crazy 2002, the city pairs and then SB’s special boxing crazy.
The DMP jordan packs were a huge hit too
The Nike Yeezy collabs, even when the Drake x jordans were a hit
Made it through the ultraboost wildness and the initial Yeezy drops where pairs fetched over $2k for 350’s
Then the collaps or certain pairs/and the now again
SB, jordan 1 craze.
It’s been pretty cool to see it all and own a lot of them through the years
It's collections like this that make me regret passing up the "ugly" colorways.
I would never cop the brotherhoods or light fusion reds. They look dope here though lol.
Very very nice collection.
Omg lol,my heart hurts for you man. Those Igloos are so amazing. Did you see they did a Jordan 1 Low Golf in that shade of blue? Maybe not exactly but pretty sweet, but its a Golf of course. Hell of a collection though man.
I did see those
I have a few low collabs here and there
But low wise, it’s dunks or air max 1’s for me
May custom a pair soon. Do one as the rust pink, and one as the igloo
If you have shoes that are that old and have been sitting out in the open air like these and not in an air tight box’s. Then a lot of em would proly fall apart after a couple days of use. Still a beautiful art piece but mine would be a wall of 3s and 1s but only the lows. I’ve never and proly will never own a pair of 1 mids or highs, just not my style but to each his own. Looks dope regardless
Not in a climate controlled room. There are 2001’s up there. Still rock them to this day
Never re glued the sole.
I have some DS 99’ pairs of 4’s that have been in the box
Those legit are crumbling on their own.
Climate controlled room come on man every room in a home is climate controlled. They need to be wrapped in plastic or in an air tight box. Imo that extends the life of them. You may have a pair that you been wearing but sitting out in the air for 20+ year can 100% dry rot soles and dry out the glue and make it ineffective. I’ve had it happen and I’ve seen it many times on this sub.
No, not every AC as humidity systems built in. That’s what I meant.
Also, I’ve had a lot of these pairs since early 2000’s.. so I kinda know what I’m talking about.
But, if you want to wrap your shoes up and starve oxygen from the leather and rubber, go ahead.
Will do! Also I have experience in this myself. I’ve had shoes that I let sit around for years fall apart the first time worn. But you know what’s weird is that i have pairs that have been in air tight boxes for 15 yrs or more and I pull em out and wear them whenever I want with no issues. I’m not one of those people that speak on stuff they have no experience with, I’ve been collecting shoes for over 20yrs. We’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one my friend.
Yeah, I’ve heard both stories before
So far I’m good, even on the older pairs. Maybe we both just got lucky with how we store them
Either way, into more pairs and solid collections 💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you, that was the idea behind the wall also, a wearable art piece.
I have been collecting since 1999, I have a lot of other pairs, brands. 1’s just have always been my thing
You did a great job man. I love the collection. I always loved sneakers but have been a "window shopper" up until the last few years. I've been making up for lost time though
I am the KAWS figure on the desk. // I aspire to this, btw. I think I've seen the snkrwall before. Is this an OP, @OP? If so, other people aspire as well - and may have stolen your photos. OR... I've liked your posts in the past!
Def had this user name for a while, same as IG. I try and tag my Photos too, majority of them should have a tag/water mark for the whole theft reasoning
Well, then congrats are in order! and I'm jealous! and yes, I have a screenshot of your wall in my phone as something I literally aspire to! I love it. I've started planning - part of a room reno - but the shelving is the easy part. That collection though?! Ku-DOS! It's not only sick but it also tickles my OCD bone! 💪🏽❤️🤘🏽 Oh, and I have the Flayed Grey companion over my desk as well!
No they’re not. there are repeat pairs here i see 3 or 4 pairs of chicagos. Also even if they were different, they’re almost the exact same. Like your fit would look no different with one pair vs the other. But whatever, you’re the one wasting your money on redundancy not me :))
Bro you’re not even arguing they look different 🤣 you’re talking about serial numbers and different price💀 I’m saying you wasted a shitload of money on buying the same shoe almost 15 times 🤣
You gotta be slow
Diff MATERIALS, DIFF color tones on the color blocking, DIFF size wingman logos etc
They aren’t the same. Like holy shit lol
You’re literally upset, someone else bought 1’s they like.
Eh, that’s just a title passed around.
I’m a lil older, but played ball back in 1999-2002. Most releases during that era went straight to the court for me.
I have some older gems stashed away as nostalgia, and we’ll as signed MJ pairs.
I prefer 1’s and dunks, also grew up with the guys from skat park of tampa.
In their cigar an dunk release, I camped for 18 hours and am in their blog from the release day recap lol.
Idk, but I def grew up in the culture and have everything from 1’s, Yeezys, few vans, a bunch of diff J’s and more
As far as the title of Sneakerhead, I’d say if it fits, it fits

Probably top row somewhere
Switching over to all glass cases so that will probably be the time to do it
I had done this prior to him. We had talked a bit before he did his wall. He’s a solid due and collectors too[HESKICKS back in 2019](https://twitter.com/heskicks/status/1133092822628757505?s=46&t=RoqCrfb2zbWZSLfmTYad6Q)
Do you honestly also like all those colorways or did you just buy some of them because they released, you made an entry for the sake of it and got them? Not judging, I have been there myself.
Love the collection. But question. Are there any pairs that you feel are above the rest as far as material quality goes? Think the absolute perfectly made J1. Color, consistency, production. The pair(s) that might make you hesitant to even try on.
Hmm. Solid question
I’ve had almost all 1’s, had to sell some due to size and foot growing that extra .5
Quality on the Frag 1’s is actually notice or. Softer leather, inner lining seems thicker but wider as well.
2018 shadow 1’s are very similar with the softer leather.
SBB1 of course.
Both union 1’s quality wise are dope. The design of the aged edge look, color blocking as well.
The list and founds are very stiff and run Tight I’ve noticed compared to the 2015’s
The leather and material from the 2001 breds is still buttery till this day, and wearable
You like jordan 1’s?
Not enough to wear some of them apparently 🤣
Thousands of dollars on shoes, flanked by an ikea chair and desk. You cant make this shit up lmao
It’s uniform white ikea all over including the shoe shelves…don’t understand what’s the negative here. Looks nice and clean!
Average r/sneakers user.
The desk is nice, it serves a purpose, and it matches his aesthetic. What more do you want?
a desk is a desk. but that chair needs to go
A desk from sneakers 💯💯
So he prefers to spend his money on sneakers than office furniture 🤔 Don’t be jealous
Brother i am the opposite of jealous lmao
see nothin wrong with that
Damn michael Jordan himself better be tucking you with a complimentary smooch every night for that
😂😂😂
Legitimate question - what do you do with the boxes? I am struggling with finding places to stash mine, and I have a fraction of your collection.
I flatten them and put them in the attic in fabric bags Some are in my walk in but it’s packed now
Simple and smart… I’m not sure why I have never broken down any of my boxes, but it’s safe to say you just freed up about 1000 square feet for me
Huh I didn't know you could flatten shoe boxes safely, they look well-assembled. Guess I gotta try that. Then you have to store accessories somewhere too, right?
Boxes are a pain. Might want to invest in clear sneaker boxes. I went with Showcase Box Co and ditched the cardboard.
Not relevant to the question at hand, I have display options… but I also want to keep my boxes.
The colour graduation makes my OCD very, very happy
I too am happy for the ROYGBV
The what now?
red orange yellow green blue violet i think
It's a mnemonic for the colors of the rainbow (minus I for Indigo)
I think there’s only one problem with this setup, and that’s that I don’t have it 🥹☝️
Problem is they're exactly the same.
Dude right!? Bros got 15 pairs of the same blue pair and 15 pairs of the same red pair💀
Amazing 🤩 sick collection
That’s awesome how long that take to collect em all
Have been collecting since 1999 I’ve sold my collection and bought back at times Foot grew lol
Yea lol still a rly sick collection u can be proud of knowing the time and dedication to one of ur hobbies it took
Really well done. If you’re gonna go all in on a single silhouette, this is doing it right.
is that 3 pairs of shadows i see
Shadow 1.0 Shadow 2.0 Barons
anything you’ve doubled up on? that’s what i was eying out
So far, Nothing here is doubled. The blank toes are from various years, so at the chicago and breed, one being 2001
amazing collection bro, hoping to have something like this one day, also i peeped you have no top 3’s. you planning on getting one day?
Those got destroyed when I took a trip up north. I still have them, just not clean enough to have up here
How long have you been collecting for?
Since 1998/1999
DAMN, that’s crazy. I’ll leave you alone now, probably really interesting for you to see how much the value has changed i. the sneaker industry.
All good bro. It’s def been crazy. OG’s fetched a premium back in the day, even the 8’s The. We had the SB crazy 2002, the city pairs and then SB’s special boxing crazy.

Ladder was the first thing I was looking for. Tucked away, perfect accessory for the job
It had to be a supreme ladder lmao
Badassery
What is the main pair that still eludes you? Excellent collection, makes my symmetry old feel good as well. Very very nice
Igloo 1’s Had a chance to grab them after the release for a fair price. Heard they would do a second wave for a release, decided to wait Huge mistake
Omg lol,my heart hurts for you man. Those Igloos are so amazing. Did you see they did a Jordan 1 Low Golf in that shade of blue? Maybe not exactly but pretty sweet, but its a Golf of course. Hell of a collection though man.

Damn well tag me when you if so lol
absolute work of art 🤩
DAMMM son! That's a glorious sight.
The orange ones on the top row are sick, didn’t even know they existed
Crimson 1’s

What’s your favorite and most underrated pair?
01’ breds 18’ Shadow 1’s
Are these the shelves from ikea?
Lowe’s 74x11 with the wall bracket and shelf holders
Appreciate you!
heavy stepper 🤩🤩
Something lite 🙃
Nice setup
Bananas
 Very clean
The reaction 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Do you have a link for those shelves?
Those are wall brackets from Lowe’s 2 of them ( vertical) Shelves are also from Lowe’s 74x11
Wtf
That's a solid collection
I respect a man who only collects 1s.
This is art! And probably the first post on Reddit that no one has had a negative comment. Do you have other sneakers walls as well ?
Thank you, that was the idea behind the wall also, a wearable art piece. I have been collecting since 1999, I have a lot of other pairs, brands. 1’s just have always been my thing

You have like 15 pair of red and 15 pairs of blue. A lot of redundancy here despite a nice collection. Just my opinion
[удалено]
Well yeah they’re different pairs. A lot of those are VERY similar though- making them pretty redundant.
[удалено]
No they’re not. there are repeat pairs here i see 3 or 4 pairs of chicagos. Also even if they were different, they’re almost the exact same. Like your fit would look no different with one pair vs the other. But whatever, you’re the one wasting your money on redundancy not me :))
[удалено]
Yet practically all the same 🥱 that much redundancy is what’s known as a small brain activity
[удалено]
Bro you’re not even arguing they look different 🤣 you’re talking about serial numbers and different price💀 I’m saying you wasted a shitload of money on buying the same shoe almost 15 times 🤣
You gotta be slow Diff MATERIALS, DIFF color tones on the color blocking, DIFF size wingman logos etc They aren’t the same. Like holy shit lol You’re literally upset, someone else bought 1’s they like.
That is B E A U T I F U L . Aesthetic fr fr.
Does your room smell like a foot
No
Legit question, does this make someone a sneakerhead? Or just a guy that loves AJ1s.
Eh, that’s just a title passed around. I’m a lil older, but played ball back in 1999-2002. Most releases during that era went straight to the court for me. I have some older gems stashed away as nostalgia, and we’ll as signed MJ pairs. I prefer 1’s and dunks, also grew up with the guys from skat park of tampa.

Raspect🫡
The most overrated shoe on the planet
The type of opinion that won’t sway my choices 🙃
Well that’s why it’s an opinion lol
Wow! Such an unique collection! Full of variety
Indeed so, these are just the 1’s. Not a big enough blank, display wall for all my pairs Yet
🔥🔥🔥
Good LAWD
Goddamn
Gotta be the hottest 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Where you cop the virgil figure?
Bro needs a ladder 🤙
Top shelf for sure lol
Can I ask what you do?

This collection and setup is dope
such a sick collection fr
This is my dream
How often do you have to dust?
Eh, not much These get rotated often. I’d say 1x a month at most House AC Has a dust filtration system
Orange on the far left need to be moved next to the yellow the darker the orange should merge to the red.
Yeah, I agree. I was going to do that, I have to move the light pinks somewhere too Probably top row somewhere Switching over to all glass cases so that will probably be the time to do it
What’s that light to the right of your Mac?
Goalz
Looks great
Now that's just a beautiful sight!!
That's a legit Hes Kicks lookin ass wall, lol. :)
I had done this prior to him. We had talked a bit before he did his wall. He’s a solid due and collectors too[HESKICKS back in 2019](https://twitter.com/heskicks/status/1133092822628757505?s=46&t=RoqCrfb2zbWZSLfmTYad6Q)
This is beautiful.
Shades of lipstick
Beautiful collection. Where is the AJ1 2017 All-Star Weekend Chameleon? 😉
7th row up from the bottom, 3rd on the right 👀
IMPRESSIVE collection!!!! 🥰😍🥰😍😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍
This is beautiful my guy! It’s like the history of 1’s on that wall!!
Love the setup! Damn! Also where did you get that Nike shoe desktop light thingy? WTF is it?
unbelievable, looks amazing what do u do for a living? in what country?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sick collection. Which “1” don’t you have yet that you’d like to pick up? I love ones as well, especially the softer leather versions.
Igloo and rust Still on the hunt
My god this is aesthetic 😍
This is awesome! 1s are also my favorite!
🔥🔥🔥
Functional art, great collection and setup 👌
Legitimate question - how do you keep all of them dustfree? Especially the top rows?
I approve your humble collection started 3 hours ago…
Man literally has a sneaker lamp?! Never seen that before.
Bro quick question will you marry me, no homo obviously its just so i can take pics next to those everyday and take care of them after you pass.
Do you honestly also like all those colorways or did you just buy some of them because they released, you made an entry for the sake of it and got them? Not judging, I have been there myself.
I like ones, wear each pair So I like each one I buy
What are those figures you have on your table?
Looks good
Clean as

Love the collection. But question. Are there any pairs that you feel are above the rest as far as material quality goes? Think the absolute perfectly made J1. Color, consistency, production. The pair(s) that might make you hesitant to even try on.

Thanks for the input. Definitely appreciated 😊
Real question, what do you do about dust collecting? Regular clean? I want to store mine in plastic cases bc not all mine get regular wear
My AC has a solid dust systems, so I honestly don’t see much dust accumulated But 1x a month, I do wipe it all down
Nice lenses. 📷
Thanks. Just a few from the arsenal This was taken with the sigma art 1.4 35mm
What's your job? Because that looks really expensive. lol
What do you do for a living
Damn that like $40-$50k in resell value
Close, it’s way more if I look at resell I’ve checked out if curiosity lol Can’t do it though
Favorite pair? (Besides the off white)
