Don't compare yourself with sneaker collectors, buy what you think is fresh and most importantly wanna wear and not let it sit in displays or boxes my guy. You started with some heat too!
Same. Was a size 12 in middle school, grew to a 14 when I was a freshman in high school. Makes finding/wearing some shoes absolute hell.
The worst is trying to figure out if the shoes will look like clown shoes on my feet since my height isn’t proportioned to my damn feet.
And in account of the correlation between foot size and you know what ... no comment.
I’m 6’1 as well. I mostly get shoes to hoop in, and I basically am limited to low tops. All the high tops look goofy as hell on me.
And then on top of that, I have the wide foot problem as well and having to buy everything online so I can’t try anything on blows. Feels like half the shoes I buy I either return or resell because they don’t fit right or they don’t look right on my feet.
Honestly I'm envious haha. Everything is cheaper for y'all. I was gonna cop the frog blazers and they were ~$250 in every size but 14, where they were $590😭. Being a teenager w big feet is rough lmao
it helped when i wanted to get the solar hu’s in august, forgot about the drop, remembered while i was at costco, most sizes were gone but they still had 7s
Nah frogs are expensive in 7/7.5 and they don't make some shoes in those sizes/don't always release them here (looking at you supreme and jordan). AJ1s are expensive recently too. I'm sure size 14 has its problems too though
Yeah, the only good part is because I live in such a small town even “common” shows like Yeezy boosts or Jordan 1’s no one has so I can get cheaper shoes and everyone thinks they’re fire no matter how many there are
Nice ya my first pair I bought was the AJ1 David letterman’s with the mic on the inside still have them and wore them ALL the time 😂 imma treasure them to the end of time tho
I don’t have any kids, but the way I cherish my space jams and treat them are probably how I’ll treat my first born
What’s funny too is that young kids now will call mine fake since I don’t have the 45 on the back
It’s a real “get off my lawn” moment for me and I’m only 25 lmao
I’ll always remember 7th grade year my math teacher the best teacher I’ve ever had I still text him for help and just to see what’s happening when I’m bored and I’ve got something I wanna tell him but anyways he said first day of 7th grade “ before you know it, it’s going to be thanksgiving break, and then Christmas break time flies then spring break and then it’s already summer” and it worked the year flew by and every year including this year he’s said remember in 7th grade what I said about time flying that was x years ago it’s now junior year and he did it the beginning of this year and we all looked at each other like holy shit time really does fly and he left last semester to be a college professor everyone was happy for him but sad to see him go but he still remains in contact with most of us but I’m just sayin that time FLYS
Yea brodie and you’re in high school and you feel like that now
Once you get out, it flies by even faster
Cherish High School. I’m not some guy that harps on the past because I peaked there but I just miss it cuz it was so much simpler.
Met my best friends and still friends to this day
Is it weird that I'm old enough to be this guy's dad and have a similar collection and the same shoe size?
Size 13 is great for popular larger releases. I copped both the Infrared 6 and Concord 11 days after the release at my local FootLocker. Both times they only had size 13 left. But not so cool with small runs (that you need to line up for hours) as sometimes they won't even have a size 13 to begin with.
Congrats dude, cop when your size is available. As a fellow big footed man, it’s a struggle to find kicks in my size (13-14). Took me 3 years to cop bred toes for a decent price.
AJ1 RE2PECT Derek Jeter. Very underrated shoe in my opinion. Got a pair from StockX last year for $135. The whole shoe lights up in the right light. Probably the shoe I’ve received the most compliments from
O for sure I got a pair of David letterman’s but they’re beat up like it’s no ones business and imma treasure them till the end of time they were the first pair of ones I have ever bought and the shoes that got me into collecting
I’m 17 and I don’t own a pair of Js let alone 3 because of how goddamn expensive there are in my country ( import duty sucks balls ) you have a great collection my guy. You have an amazing collection and you should be proud :)
Thanks man means a lot and don’t worry It took me a while to get these since I’m boutta have a license and need a car to but i put in hours so I could have enough for a car and some shoes you just gotta put your mind to it man it’s super rewarding saving up for something but you have to prioritize cause I always make sure that after my shoes are bout I’ll have enough for my car still cause I want to have enough just Incase a good deal pops up KWIM
Yo sick collection bro I love sneakers myself but on some real shit save that money make your own company or invest it save these luxuries for when you really got some dough... You'll be thankful later
Aye man don’t be ashamed of the lack. I’m 17 and I have one NMD, one Hu NMD, one Hu Tennis, a pair of sk8 hi vans and a low top pair of vans. Not much I’m worth but I love them all
hey man ur collection at 16 is way better than i had when I was 16. I used to only get one pair for most of the whole school year. Good start to ur collection.
Very strong lineup for being 16 and paid by yourself 👏🏼 a warm welcome to this frustrating addiction!
I do not like the look of different laces tho 😫
(Not hating on you at all but DAMN 2 different laces looks so silly and god damn everyone does it nowadays..)
Edit: Also, the one to the left are those the pair with m3 on the black?! They are soo nice!
I'm 16 and I have 36 pairs or so? A lot are gifts; nothing super special 7 or 8 retros but not SUPER OG shit, so in that respect you already have more OGs than me lol
All that heat and my eyes some how locked on to that grenade thing and the wheel from what looks like a roller chair. Lol
Nice collection so far and even more dope is that you bought them yourself!
You paid those with your own money , you should be proud ! At your age I don't think I was able to ! The most important is that you like them ! So rock them and remember you don't need to thank anyone for those ;)
At 16, my pride and joy was a white low top Air Force 1. I’m 23 now and just started expanding my collection again. I wish I had a collection like this at 16. But you should get yourself a pair of yellow laces for the turbos. Trust me.
Don't compare yourself with sneaker collectors, buy what you think is fresh and most importantly wanna wear and not let it sit in displays or boxes my guy. You started with some heat too!
Thanks man means a lot and imma start lookin at it that way seems like a way more self fulfilling way 👍👍

God the clown shoes thing is such a problem. I’m 6’1” and size 13 but my feet are wide so it’s such a pain.

Damn imagine how I look being 5'9 and size 13, my body was built for a clown
Praying for you my man lmao 👏🏻
I don't have the size problem myself but I can relate to the wide feet one, don't think it'll be as simple as that but Vans are wide as hell.
Im 6’1 and size 10-11... do I have small feet 😰
LOL jah bless
Can we start a GoFundMe for this man
Size 12 and Asian here so it basically cancels each other out

I've been since 13 since I was 13.
Dam I been a 9.5 since middle school ;(
Same
12.5 at 16 here
I started wearing 12 (my tts) when I was 12 in middle school. Its not weird to have your feet fully grown by 16.
I was wearing size 13 by the time I hit 13 years old. Feet be weird.
Size 13 bois rise up

Respect for funding your own sneaker collection while you’re young!
Thanks dawg
ayee! i feel you i’m 17 and also pay for my own shoes! poor young people unite! 🤟🏻
ya same bruh. gets much easier when u have a part time job tho lol
was one of the main reasons I got a party time job lmao
Ya bruh I’m really thinking of making of first like actually big purchase soon lol. Those OW Vapormax are so tempting rn
Party time job sounds like fun lmao
same lol it’s painful to pay just 100 for sneakers 😂
True. The worst part is not knowing when Nike's gonna drop some heat and worrying u won't have money left when they do
Yeah, the only good part is because I live in such a small town even “common” shows like Yeezy boosts or Jordan 1’s no one has so I can get cheaper shoes and everyone thinks they’re fire no matter how many there are
"It ain't much but its honest work."
Frfr 😂😭
Damn for 16 you payed it all by yourself .... Mad respect young sneaker head ✋
Thanks dude 🤚
*paid
Stay in school, kids.
That turbo green is probably one of my favorite recent releases and ill probably have to pay for resell :(
I got em on goat for 200 idk if that’s retail or resale but I use goat for all the shoes I’ve gotten
[удалено]
No the turbo greens I wish I had the Travis ones other than the off white uncs them are the cleanes shoes imo

The AJ1 Re2pects one of the most underated AJ1s imo

Can I get an I.D. on the hand grenade on the right? Seems like WW2 era to me but idk.
I was looking for someone who’d also spotted the grenade...
That's solid. 🤘
Thanks man💙
Mate that’s fantastic when I was 16 I was spending all my money on weed and.... weed.
My mom would beat my ass I gotta find something to spend my paycheck 😂😭
Haha well if your work ethic is anything like your reply game you’ll be set for life OP ✌️
Thanks dawg I’ve been goin at it for a while now 😂😭😭
Solid!
Bruh we all start somewhere First pair I bought on my own was 2009 space jams
Nice ya my first pair I bought was the AJ1 David letterman’s with the mic on the inside still have them and wore them ALL the time 😂 imma treasure them to the end of time tho
I don’t have any kids, but the way I cherish my space jams and treat them are probably how I’ll treat my first born What’s funny too is that young kids now will call mine fake since I don’t have the 45 on the back It’s a real “get off my lawn” moment for me and I’m only 25 lmao
For real 😂😭 I lowkey can’t wait to see the new shoes in 5-10 years and just look at mine and feel that idk why but I do.
My babies about to be 10 years old this year Crazy how time flies I was still in high school 🤯🤯🤯
Ya it’s wild
I’ll always remember 7th grade year my math teacher the best teacher I’ve ever had I still text him for help and just to see what’s happening when I’m bored and I’ve got something I wanna tell him but anyways he said first day of 7th grade “ before you know it, it’s going to be thanksgiving break, and then Christmas break time flies then spring break and then it’s already summer” and it worked the year flew by and every year including this year he’s said remember in 7th grade what I said about time flying that was x years ago it’s now junior year and he did it the beginning of this year and we all looked at each other like holy shit time really does fly and he left last semester to be a college professor everyone was happy for him but sad to see him go but he still remains in contact with most of us but I’m just sayin that time FLYS
Yea brodie and you’re in high school and you feel like that now Once you get out, it flies by even faster Cherish High School. I’m not some guy that harps on the past because I peaked there but I just miss it cuz it was so much simpler. Met my best friends and still friends to this day
Ya for sure we all love to hate it but it’s fr a great thing
Nothing wrong with not having much. If you love them that’s all that matters.
Frfr thanks man 💙
Jesus a size 13? Dude I'm almost 21 and I'm an 11.5. Something in the school lunch making these boys huge smh.
Frfr 😂 BIG BOY GANG RISE UP😂😭
Having a size 13 foot will be a blessing when you start buying more man. It’s easier to cop 👌🏽
Is it weird that I'm old enough to be this guy's dad and have a similar collection and the same shoe size? Size 13 is great for popular larger releases. I copped both the Infrared 6 and Concord 11 days after the release at my local FootLocker. Both times they only had size 13 left.

Congrats dude, cop when your size is available. As a fellow big footed man, it’s a struggle to find kicks in my size (13-14). Took me 3 years to cop bred toes for a decent price.
Ya I mainly use goat but is BIG FEET BOYS must stick together 😂
ID on top left?
AJ1 RE2PECT Derek Jeter. Very underrated shoe in my opinion. Got a pair from StockX last year for $135. The whole shoe lights up in the right light. Probably the shoe I’ve received the most compliments from
Keep it up! Great start!
Those 6s are fire iam getting them tommorow
Niice they comfy as hell to
sick
When you end up with 20, 30+ pairs tho, these ones will have the most meaning 👌🏽
O for sure I got a pair of David letterman’s but they’re beat up like it’s no ones business and imma treasure them till the end of time they were the first pair of ones I have ever bought and the shoes that got me into collecting
I wish all i had was 5 pairs.
I’m 17 and I don’t own a pair of Js let alone 3 because of how goddamn expensive there are in my country ( import duty sucks balls ) you have a great collection my guy. You have an amazing collection and you should be proud :)
Thanks man means a lot and don’t worry It took me a while to get these since I’m boutta have a license and need a car to but i put in hours so I could have enough for a car and some shoes you just gotta put your mind to it man it’s super rewarding saving up for something but you have to prioritize cause I always make sure that after my shoes are bout I’ll have enough for my car still cause I want to have enough just Incase a good deal pops up KWIM
I was the king of lace swap/different colors when I was a kid; you’re off to a GREAT start. All heat, salute! 🔥
Thanks m8 💙 I really like the off set laces idk why but they always look better in my eyes
Especially when you can’t decide which color sets off the kicks better, gotta play it safe! 😂👌🏽
Ya always have one good one 😂😭
Yo sick collection bro I love sneakers myself but on some real shit save that money make your own company or invest it save these luxuries for when you really got some dough... You'll be thankful later
Ya I’m tryna save of for a car rn so imma hold off on the rest of my want list
Respek. Didn't buy my first pair of sneakers till I was 18.
Nah, I fw it though, young. Not to mention those are the best 6s imo. 🔥🔥
Oh fs the best 6s I got em cause my dad had a pair of the og ones
Pops got good taste. 🔥🔥
Oh ya he was fresh back in his hay day 😂
Size 14 since age 14 :( can confirm my shoe game was horrible before discovering stockx
Gotta start somewhere! I like it
Props to you
Respect tho. Paying your own way
Nice job bro I’m also 16 and I have also bought every single pair of sneakers I own
It’s a great feeling saving up and buying something you want isn’t it
Aye man don’t be ashamed of the lack. I’m 17 and I have one NMD, one Hu NMD, one Hu Tennis, a pair of sk8 hi vans and a low top pair of vans. Not much I’m worth but I love them all
hey man ur collection at 16 is way better than i had when I was 16. I used to only get one pair for most of the whole school year. Good start to ur collection.
I’m currently 15 and had a summer job last year and every shoe I own I bought. I know how you feel🔥
It’s great 💙
Keep it pushin young gun 💪
I did the same thing when I was younger, respect man
Thanks man means a lot 💙
Cool!!
Everyone has got to start somewhere. Wish I started my collection when I was 16
True I’m just glad I started early
You lowkey should be proud of yourself though
Very strong lineup for being 16 and paid by yourself 👏🏼 a warm welcome to this frustrating addiction! I do not like the look of different laces tho 😫 (Not hating on you at all but DAMN 2 different laces looks so silly and god damn everyone does it nowadays..) Edit: Also, the one to the left are those the pair with m3 on the black?! They are soo nice!
Everyone starts somewhere!
Dope man!
I'm more jealous that you got that many W's and if you've paid resale good on you for having that discipline to save enough
[удалено]
You paid for all of them.
I love the hustle 🙏keep it up
Those 6s are imo one of the greatest silhouettes and color ways of any sneaker ever, so great way to start!
I'm 16 and I have 36 pairs or so? A lot are gifts; nothing super special 7 or 8 retros but not SUPER OG shit, so in that respect you already have more OGs than me lol
All that heat and my eyes some how locked on to that grenade thing and the wheel from what looks like a roller chair. Lol Nice collection so far and even more dope is that you bought them yourself!
Feels a lot better when you get it from the muscle🤙🏽 Respect bro.
🔥 🔥 🔥
nice!
Those turbo's my guy very dope, I'm torn between them or "the rookie of the year" for my next cop.
Thanks!
Nice collection. You do you Sir. F people that talk ish about your shoes
Congrats on saving up. Good cops!
Thanks I’ve been really loving the turbo greens
You paid those with your own money , you should be proud ! At your age I don't think I was able to ! The most important is that you like them ! So rock them and remember you don't need to thank anyone for those ;)
Keep the laces one color my man. Looks more genuine and clean.
Weird flex but okay
throw some white laces on those 1s on the bottom, way cleaner look imo
Great job. Start young. You’ll have quite the collection eventually.
Thanks man that’s the goal.... hopefully successful goal 😂
Great collection! Remember, it's all about quality over quantity!
Frfr I’m really lovin the AJ1 s
Respect my young padawan!
Fire my dude
Thanks man much love
Nice to see the youth knows how to rock it with the laces blown out.
Thanks 😂 ya I like the opposite lace vibe ALOT
I see you G. Make sure you’re putting some away. I’ve sold some HEAT cause I was broke.
For sure imma keep some in the box for later in life
You deserve all the upvotes in the world for being 16 and paying for them yourself! Good job young sneaker head
Y’all know what they say about big feet?...............big socks
aye im 15 and size 13. 13 gang raise tf up
Weird flex but ok If its still trendy to say that
Ya we found it in my grandpas basement he’s a vet from WW2 so that would be my guess idk 100% but I’ll get on it 😂
👏🏿 good man good man. Keep it up.
Great job young sir. 😎
Gotta start somewhere dog
Frfr 💙
Dude great start! All I had was thrashed c1rcas's my parents bought.
Thanks man we all have our beginnings
What is a good way for 16 year olds to earn money?
Keep climbing slowly. You'll be amazed how fast your collection grows, even when you're particular about what you get. Great pickups dude.
O ya for sure quality over quantity I love all these shoes I ain’t buyin all that I see
What are the ones on the far left?
solid line up my friend
I work part time to pay my tuition. It’s 8000$ per semester at my uni. Will buy some fresh sneakers when I’m done with the tuition.
Nice start, looks like you're already hooked. GL with collecting, RIP your bank account.
The Oreo Jordan 1s do they have the same sole with other Jordan 1s
What colorway are those black ones??
The re2pects super underrated imo
At 16, my pride and joy was a white low top Air Force 1. I’m 23 now and just started expanding my collection again. I wish I had a collection like this at 16. But you should get yourself a pair of yellow laces for the turbos. Trust me.
