Not just a soops head, more an Adidas head.
Live and work in London (run a design studio).
Collect sneaks but wear all of them (some carefully, others daily).
Got/had (retired) Superstar I lux (white/grey, white/red), SS I black/white, Rom (white/blue, white/navy), Stan Smith Originals, Tobacco (maroon), New York (blue/light blue), Gazelle II (all maroon), Wilhelm Bungert (x2 white/white, white/blue), Grand Slam (white/silver), Training 72 (white/nubuck/blue), SL72 (black/white)... few Puma's (GV Special etc), few New Balance.
After... Rod Laver Vintage, Jeans (blue/yellow), SS Grun Hemp (blue), ROMs in any colour (loving the ROM),
I'm afraid I also have a raw denim obsession (and yeah it bleeds on my kicks).
No problem with museum-like collections, I just think sneaks are built to wear - so I wear mine!
First fell for Gola Cobra in 75-ish and then went mamba/samba/bamba/hawaii/gazelle/nizza... etc. Been a sneaker freaker since I was 8 years old. Ain't stopping it anytime soon either.
Cheers!

Word to Big Bird!!
How you doing and welcome along, best intro I have read for a while. What you design? Used to be into flyer design and short run magazines and brochure back in the day! Love the 3 stripe eh? Good man!
Its all about the soops for me now, but still appreciate the vintage & the old school.
Peace

Welcome to the boards! I'm also more of an Adidas fan since I buy more then Supes, but I'll always stick to the 3-stripes only!

Welcome. I'm sure you will be surprised to know that almost everyone here wears their soops. Like you, some more rarely than others.

Don't know how I missed this yesterday but hell, welcome Jonesboy.
Really refreshing to get a great introduction like that.
You seem reasonably impervious to the whole Superstar thing but we'll do our best to change that.
Some of the fellas on here will be pleased that you've joined up cos it sounds like you're the new forum old dude !
