As we all know, there are two kinds of sneakerheads out there. There are those who keep their sneakers pristine in the box, never to be scuffed, stepped on or exposed to air. Then there are those that throw caution to the wind and rock those fresh kicks daily, unable to have them in their possession without showing them off to the world. Here we have some images from a collector that takes that second category so far to the extreme that his sneaker collection looks more like a sneaker morgue. We’re not sure exactly what this gentleman has been doing in these kicks, but whatever it is, it has taken a severe toll on them. Most of the collection is made up of shoes that will cost you well over a hundred dollars, and for that kind of money, you would expect them to hold up a little better.
In the case of almost every pair shown, the sole has separated itself from the rest of the shoe or worse. Some of these shoes are, at this point, actually more packing tape than sneaker, but we give it up to this guy for never saying die. Not everybody is obsessed with keeping it crisp all the time and we tip our hats to this collector for getting the most out of his sneaker investments. The only real head-scratcher is how these things got so mangled when he has so many different pairs to rotate. You have to be putting in some serious work to mess up that many pairs of kicks that severely. Be sure to check out a bunch more pictures of some real sneaker tragedies after the jump. Via Kenlu.
