Sneakerheads!!
Have you heard what the kids are worshipping these days? Sneakers!! These kids (and adults) have abandoned Jesus for the holy grail of the Nike swoosh. They spend days waiting in line to buy a pair of 300$ sneakers but a little bird told me that NONE of them have bibles in their packs to read. I imagine they all have iPods so they can listen to Snoop Dogg. They're there for hours standing in line. Maybe it would be a good place to go witness to the sneakerheads.
Legions of collectors are standing, zombielike, in the wee hours outside shoe stores, waiting for them to open, mumbling words like "deadstock" and "F.O.T.B." These people, mostly young men, are called sneakerheads. Sneakerheads want one thing: the coolest, rarest sneaker on the market, whether it be Adidas, Bape or Reebok. And right now, that sneaker is the Nike Dunk SB.
In February, a mini riot broke out at a store on New York's Lower East Side as sneakerheads camped out in freezing temperatures for days to get the new SB release, the Pigeon Dunk, for $300 a pair. When the store opened, according to the New York Post, 70 people were in line. Twenty got the shoes, the other 50 got attitudes.
Callender, 23, has been a sneakerhead since 1999, when he bought Nike Air Jordans for $100 while he was in college "trying to find myself." He found himself deep inside his soles. Now he has 60 pairs, half of which are Dunk SBs. Callender loves them all equally. They are his babies.
