Whether you've been a sneakerhead for well over a decade or you're just starting off, we can pretty much guarantee that no two collections are the same. Some people may have a massive arsenal of creps filled with general releases, while others may own just a few shoes, but they're some of rarest in the game.
With that said, earlier this month, we set up a poll over on Twitter asking sneakerheads "How many sneakers do you have in your collection?"; and we got some pretty interesting results! For more content like this, be sure to download the official The Sole Supplier app for free right now!
First off, a whopping 40% of participants said that they own one to ten sneakers. While this might not seem like a lot on paper, they could have some of the hottest grails in the game. Furthermore, this doesn't mean that they only have one to ten shoe, it could also mean that for every new shoe they cop, they sell another just to keep their rotation nice and small. As the old saying goes, it's quality, not quantity.
Secondly, 37% of sneakerheads said that they have eleven to thirty shoes in their collection. This is a pretty good amount as it's not too much and not too little either. They could have a pretty healthy dose of GRs as well as hyped releases, so it's perfect for those days you want to keep it cool and understated and also other days when you want to flex like it's nobody's business.
Interestingly enough, 14% of those surveyed said that they have well over fifty pairs in their collection - something that pretty much everyone in The Sole Supplier office can relate to! Sometimes it's just hard to let go of sneakers. Even if you don't wear them anymore there's always some sentimental value with each cop, and this just gradually builds and builds until you need an entire a room just to hold your collection. And with more fire releases dropping month after month, we really can't blame this 14%!
Finally, only 9% of those surveyed said they have thirty-one to fifty kicks in their collection. We admire these sneakerheads for their self-restraint, but let us tell you, with over twenty Yeezys release this year alone and more Off-White x Nike on the horizon, this number is going to shoot up! Additionally, tonnes of ultra high heat keeps getting re-released, so if you want to cop any of these rare trainers, be sure to follow @thesolerestocks on Twitter for the latest and greatest restocks!
