Review: Sneaker collecting has nothing to do with skateboarding. While it's possible to be interested in both, skateboarding is about access, while sneaker collecting is about exclusivity. The culture of Supreme, of Nike SB, and others have done nothing to actually better skateboarding culture. Rather, they have fed off of it, and lined their pockets with the profit. Why should you pay more for a deck from Supreme? You shouldn't. Why should poor kids be afraid (and unable) to buy skate products at Supreme? When skateboarding soul becomes one of exclusion rather than inclusion all is lost. This won't happen, but when companies like Supreme attach themselves to skateboarding it appears that we could slide down that slope. Skate or die, not skate or buy.

Review: I beg to differ. I myself have been amassing sneakers (I don't like to call it collecting) since my earliest teens, and I'm in my mid-twenties now. I don't do hip because it's hip, but because it speaks to me: sports, urban culture, music, graffiti, etc. To me there is a strong relation between all these parts of my life, and sneakers bond it together. The queuing phenomenon is solely one publicized aspect of this not-so-underground-anymore culture, and I surely don't think of it as a waste of my money, but leisure time investment.

Review: Kudos MRob. The narrow-mindedness of the first poster is unfortunate. The people who stand in line for these shoes do have passion. No one should ridicule them for being passionate about something. If your kid is into drawing, would you stifle that? If he's into painting or art, would you mock him? The kids who show this passion are the ones who could be designing the next great shoe that the first poster might want to wear. Narrow-mindedness gets us nowhere.

Review: This is not a fad, this is a lifestyle. There are huge communities online dedicated to this. There is even a magazine called "Sole" solecollector.com

Review: No, you are missing something here: This is their life, their love, and their passion. While you were off playing Halo or some overplayed video game, they were out doing what they love and showing off what they already had to their buddies. You have no right to disrespect someone's passion, especially when yours is probably more narrow-minded than the next pair of shoes to come out.

Review: These people are fools. they imagine themselves to be the hippest of the hip but they're all being played like the suckers they are. Maybe when they grow up they'll gain some wisdom and look back at their younger selves and ask, "What was I thinking wasting all that money on stupid sneakers?"
