Crazy Love Shoes Season After 80 Boys
Before I saw Jim, I have heard of two love shoe talents, one is a super "prodigal" big s Xu Xiyuan: It is said that her shoes can count up to count - to take them into a photo, Set the cost, when you want to wear it, look it up. The other is Taiwan's number one beauty Xiao Yu – her shoes have an approximate number: more than 200 pairs, full of a house – enough for us ordinary short-skinned people who have been stunned for a while.
After seeing Jim, the unbelievable madmen in the eyes of ordinary people are all but small cases. The boy who was born in the 80s has a huge shoe city. His obsession with sneakers has reached the top of his body. For him, the number and price of shoes is no longer important. Behind each pair of shoes is A story is a love story, and even marks a season of growth.
Season 1: Love of a pair of basketball shoes
Jim's current sneakers have 600 to 700 pairs - he said it was after several rounds of screening, and the highest peak ever reached thousands. Everyone enters his front door, and it is difficult to move away from him. The room with a large wall and a high shelf is on the right side of the hall. It is full of shoes. This is not all - "There is still on the balcony." Under his guidance, we have also seen the balcony that was originally quite spacious, but it has been occupied by a shoe rack and the clothes have to sideways. “Is there still?†I couldn't help but turn around and turn around. Oh, the study hasn’t been idle. There’s a bookcase around the computer desk – oh no, it’s the shoe rack.
All of Jim's shoes were neatly stored in the box. The surface of the shoe box looked similar in shape and there was absolutely no difference. “Is it not inconvenient to do this?†Faced with our doubts, Jim’s confident expression can fully prove his familiarity with these shoes: “If you want to see which pair, just say the name, I can pick it out right away. ."
Big s cataloged her shoes, and Jim's shoes were also photographed and stored on a computer. Opening these folders was like being in a sports shoes collection. His masters were like a few to every shoe. The background is blasphemy. Today, Jim is still deeply impressed by the first pair of shoes that once whetted his desire for collection - a pair of NIKE classic basketball shoes Air Jordan 18. This pair of hidden shoelace design, the outer side of the upper inlaid metal plated flying trapeze LOGO basketball shoes, the overall feeling is simple and noble, as Jordan himself, in some details reveal the king's noble atmosphere . When Jim was still a student, he saved the long-awaited pair of shoes and used it because the price was too expensive to wear. Now, the pair of shoes with a price of more than 1,000 yuan at the time has become one of the cheapest models in Jim's shoes collection. Nowadays, most of his collection of sports shoes are priced between 5,000 and 10,000 yuan.
Many shoe lovers love sports shoes from the collection of basketball shoes began, Jim is no exception, he said that the preference for shoes is actually a kind of empathy - some people are from the transformation of like sports, and some people are the source From a preference for a player. Many big brands of sports shoes are named after athletes, such as NIKE's famous Jordan series. Some brands of shoes, because of a certain athlete's regular wear, have become objects of his fans' collection. Now, as an “archalous†sneaker player, Jim’s collection field has already expanded from pure basketball shoes to almost all sports shoes. “Shoes is not only a tool for sports, but also a personality. Symbols, including the pursuit of self, this pursuit is the Sneaker culture." For me, the unfamiliar outsider, Jim explained that Sneaker originally referred to the rubber soles shoes, because the United States was the earliest footwear culture from All Star's canvas shoes lead, so when this popularity is extended, it forms the current Sneaker culture, which is the culture of sports shoes.
"People outside this circle may find it incomprehensible, but for us, collecting shoes is just like collecting antiques and stamps. It is a fascination with a culture and a way of life."
Season Two: Retro Charm
I do not know from time, full of story-rich retro shoes began to dominate the coquettish, back to nature became the dream of many people. For a player like Jim, a pair of retro shoes from the past time, there is a kind of excitement lost, and the most suitable 21st century BoboStyle. In addition to the previous fascination with history, retro shoes simple and elegant, easy to match style is also one of the reasons for the collection.
Jim introduced us to several models that he was satisfied with: AIRMAX, which was jointly designed by NIKE and ATMOS, a famous shoe shop in Japan. The gray stone is lined with yellowish anti-skin, low-key retro, and matched with jeans or trousers. The NIKESB series "Shanghai DUNK" inspired by the xiaolong han, the tongue of the shoe is printed with the traditional "Shanghai", the vamp is brown oil, and several deliberately dirty surfaces are specially used to replicate the effect of the oiliness of the dumplings. Leather mesh surface is like bamboo baskets with buns, don't have the style of old Shanghai.
Another "Shanghai DUNKLOWPROSB" was designed by Wang Bingjun, a leader of domestic street culture. The cinnabar red with gold LOGO shows its mahogany panes revealing ancient Chinese culture and Jiangnan watertown flavor.
Speaking of Tibetan shoes can not fail to mention a major event, that is, star style or star style. The older the style, the better the value of the better preserved. Stars are more valuable through the use of signed shoes. For example, several full-fledged signatures owned by Jim have already unbelievable prices on the Internet.
Season Three: Launch Everything: Search for Shoes!
Another great pleasure of collecting shoes lies in the process of collecting. “Fighting hard, and finally getting a pair of shoes that have been longing for a dream, there is absolutely a sense of accomplishment!†No, now Jim's face is filled with a sense of accomplishment.
The difficulty in finding shoes is not only because of its expensive price, but also because it is rare. Many styles of sneakers are not on sale in the country. For example, "Pippen II" has only sold white and red colors in the country, but has not sold black and white color. Some styles are only available for sale in a certain city in the world, and there are only a few hundred pairs in the world; more shoes, as time goes by, are well-preserved and shoe size is becoming increasingly scarce, thus becoming Sneaker players. Pursuit of "the best".
"Foreign big brands really listed in the domestic market began with Jordan 7th generation." Jim said that in 1985, Beijing Wangfujing Lisheng Sports had unofficially listed such a Jordan shoe, which was 130 yuan, which was quite expensive at the time and naturally bought. Who is. After the passage of time, this shoe has long been missing - but when the same model was launched in the United States, it was bought and stored by interested people. Now, due to the number of shoes in the world Extremely rare, it will almost become a priceless treasure.
“When you have several of a certain brand series, there is an involuntary force that makes you want to collect all the models, which is like stamp collectors must be a full collection of a set of stamps, but this It is difficult in the world of shoes because a series of shoes are often sold in different years and different regions. It is a huge project to collect integrity. However, many sneaker collectors like Jim pursue perfection through various channels. Go to buy. Not long ago, a pair of adidas sneakers were sold in limited quantities in Hong Kong, and the waiting queue actually stretched for 3 kilometers. Some netizens posted the photos lined up on the internet. The scene was spectacular. Of course, such "live reports" are self-published by the Hakkas. Many people just saw such "reports" and learned about the sale of shoes. Jim is no exception. Once he saw his favorite shoes, he immediately contacted himself at home and abroad "shoe friends", trying to get into the bag.
Fourth quarter: Want to find shoes? Come to me!
During the interview, because Jim's phone rang frequently and had to interrupt several times, most of the content of the phone call was asked by some players about sports shoes. He asked the price and exchanged or purchased him. . It sounds like Jim is already the central figure in this set. He said that in order to more easily collect the shoes he liked, he set up a cultural exchange center for sports shoes on the Internet. He gathered players who loved the collection together to discuss whether they could exchange ideas or not. .
At the end of the interview, we let Jim and his love shoes together, watching this big boy put on his favorite white NIKE, sitting in front of the shoe rack with a look of intoxication, proud in satisfaction. Presumably "shoes" have long been integrated into his life and become a part of his life.
