The Thrill of the Hunt



Probably the most forgotten part of sneaker collecting is the hunt , today's modern collector does not hunt for his sneakers they don't travel out of their comfort zone to find that pair their looking for .I finally found my favorite Adidas of all time the Adidas Metro Attitudes in the Knicks Colorway, I hunted all over Houston for them and planned a trip to go get them for the steal of 50 dollars even though they where on finishline.com for the same price.


Why because I loved the thrill of the hunt its so much better riding around calling a thousand stores bugging the owner for that one pair of sneakers that fills up an important part of their collection. I mean the shoes quality is great the leather doesn't crease they are comfortable its an all around great retro and that's how it should be . It was me my brother, and our boy Anthony aka Sage running around Houston woth only 50 dollars and no food money and I was thinking "where they still there somebody could have bought them ah crap ". You know what it all paid off just hoping to get those sneakers . That's why I'am a sneakerhead I love kicks with a passion I hunt , barter and scrounge up the ends to find that pair like all collectors let them be car , toy or wine connoisseurs this is what I do this is my life.
