There are three kinds of sneaker heads.
1: The flaming fag who keeps his inner homo in check by engaging in the kind of conspicuous consumer of footwear that is womens domain.
2: The autistic super faggot: He craves the control and collecting high that normal autists usually get from collecting stamps/coins/Pokémon cards/whatever. But he’s a peak beta male and is afraid to be outed as a nerd. Instead, like the heroin addict forced to satiate his craving with cough syrup and Tylenol 3s, he collects something more “macho” and usually associated with niggers and not nerds: Sneakers.
3: The Bitcoin bro/trustfund kid. This is the rarest kind. He has more money than he knows what to do with, and in lack of an actual personality, he chose sneakers as something to get attention with.
