Abstract
A sullied, worn, very-much-alive object to be left on the front step or coveted dead-stock to be kept in a climate controlled vault? This contrasting view of the sneaker divides the collecting community down the middle, as there are those that wear their shoes and those that do not. As a ubiquitous object of avid consumer spending, the physical, emotional and sociocultural impact of the sneaker clearly exceeds its presence as a collectable.
