That's cute, but it doesn't do much for me. So anyway, these are all my shoes I own. I think in the photo when I counted it was maybe like 80 some pair, I don't know. Maybe get offered by a few or a dozen pair. Anyway, I have not bought a new pair in years. The last pair I bought was actually to work out in the gym, which that didn't last that long
Because I probably own not more than two pairs of sneakers. And while choosing between them has never been a problem, finding the right pair often is. And I like what you said about your sneakers often being a focal point and a conversation starter. Women, at least they're attire often, you know, acts like an ice breaker or a conversation starter
Oh, my goodness, Dewuan, I wouldn't even know where to begin. It's like choice overload. I mean, I guess that's half the fun, right? The variety. And like you said, selfexpression, I have to say that I have enjoyed the limited times when I've seen seen you wear one of your colorful fun sweatshirts. They add such a bright spot to the day when you see most people are wearing like myself, just mundane colors or whatever. And the patterns

So I'm probably only wearing those, like twice a year, once a year, if for nothing else than to kind of throw people off in terms of like trying to see a pattern in how I wear shoes. But anyway, now I'm more into, like, New Balances or Socony. However you want to pronounce it. These are the types of shoes that I'm more into runners as well. Now, too. I'm not as much into the basketball sneakers as I used to be

I had first started kind of wearing colorful clothes, and my friend's cousin, just like, was mercilessly clowning me like, making fun of me. And funny enough, it ended up being a trend that a lot of people hopped on later on, wearing colorful get ups and stuff like that. It was painful to be one of the first to do it in my neighborhood, but it was so rewarding because people were kind of watching witnessing something that they just didn't see that often

I couldn't figure out one that I needed running shoes, walking shoes, jogging shoes, part time shoes. There was just so many choices and so many different colors that I just got thoroughly disgusted and left the store. Anyway, I really enjoyed this

You'll never hear me talk about sneakers or what sneaker drops today, because I know this is not the venue for that, but that's so common for me to have a lot more interest that people wouldn't know, because I just don't put it out there like that now, obviously, with the shoes. I wear them every day. So you would probably know if you got to know me that. Oh, he has more than three pairs of shoes. What's this guy's problem?

I don't even want to call it a streamline sneaker. I have a narrow foot. I never liked looking down, seeing any kind of bulky situation. So even before those were, like, popular shoes, I would always wear them. I like the deeds Samba you get. I think the stylish shoe I'm talking about style sneaker. So I had tons of those tons of those tons of those

So I thought it would be fun to showcase my shoes because someone else who I had tagged in this very post was talking about their collection of something, and I thought, Well, I got to go to the sneakers. Great questions. You have first right off the bat. I have probably only added probably five pairs of shoes since that picture, and that picture was taken in 2015, maybe 2016. So I haven't really bought that much shoes since then

But yeah, I'm about to put a picture up of these sneakers I'm crushing on currently, but I literally get rid of three shoes before I buy another because I don't want to be creeping into the 30 shoe Mark. I don't even wear all these shoes like that. I've been trying to be like, I got a pair of Dock Martins. I bought some things five years ago. Those shoes really are sturdy, but they look ridiculously big to me

You know, I have a pair of waffles Nike Waffle shoes that sort of looks like that, but those are better ones than what I got. I really like those. You got good taste. Alright, if I'm making this now, I found the picture. So those are the Nike Dunk Nerd loves, and it was cool making them. And I had been designing a couple of pairs of shoes kind of like window shopping
