I’m still very excited about my latest sneaker acquisition, and ironically I don’t really have many people to share it with.

Over the past year or so, my sneaker collection has gotten completely out of control. My inventory ballooned to about 125-150 pairs, which I stored primarily in the attic of my house. It was fun going up into the attic to look at them and try on different pairs, but as the days got warmer, …
