When I got hired at Footaction last summer I couldn’t have been happier with my first job. I had a great boss, very laid back and relaxed so I was able to relax most of the time. It was great to be able to get paid for doing relatively nothing. Then after a while the job sparked a recent passion of mine. Its been almost a year and a half since I started and over this time I’ve compiled a pretty big sneaker collection. I didn’t care much about them before, but I guess seeing all those people sleeping in front of my store in the cold for the new release made me want them too. Also not having to go through all that trouble, plus my 30% discount on exclusive releases made it hard for me not to buy them. My collection peaked at about 30-40 pairs, but I’ve sold a good amount since then because i realized I didn’t need so many. I did manage to keep my favorites though and some of the really limited releases. I’m well aware that there are plenty of other things I could have contributed the thousands of dollars I spent to, but I couldn’t help myself. My collection is definitely something I take pride in, and when people that I see on the regular notice that I can go a month without wearing the same pair of sneakers twice it makes me feel pretty good. Even though I’ve done pretty well for myself over a short period of time I know that my collection is going to become a lot bigger and a lot more valuable. There are plenty of kicks that have yet to see the inside of my closet and I can’t wait to get them there. I am what it says on my wristband; SNEAKERHEAD.
