Not me but I have a co-worker who's a serious collector of Jordans. I think he could send his kids to college on what he spends on shoes.
I guess everybody likes to collect something.
I stopped collecting hardcore after going to a sneaker show and some 12 yrold who wore maybe a size 7 holding my size 11.5 Blue Lobsters. That was a sign of things to come so I buy only what I wear now. There isn't any investment in modern sneakers now. The glory years were 2006-2010. Shoes were affordable and not that hard to get. Shortly there after Jordan brand started to produce more and more to combat reselling and demand.
I just got my first pair of Jordan's. Kind of a middle tier. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive. I don't see myself collecting tons of them or anything, but I do look quite a bit now if I'm out and about

You'll have fun in a pair of Retros. The older Jordans were casual and court. You could wear them out afterwards. You can't do that with today's kicks...
I don't "collect" shoes, but I will only buy Nike sneakers and am in fact going to get a new pair today at the outlet in Woodburn. I will only wear brightly colored ones.

Cubs visited the White House today. Dexter Fowler presented President Obama with these custom Jordan 4's, complete with Presidential Seal tongue tags, Hope "O logo" lace tags, and custom wooden box !

These are so sick! I wonder if JB would release these?
So I'm looking for the OONW Lebron 14's OONW stands for Out Of NoWhere. It's a homage to his block in the finals. He has another pair releasing friday too called Chase Down.
Haven't counted in a while, around 50 probably, but I'm not in the ball park of guys like @tempo_n_groove
Color me impressed. My collection was only up to 6 or so when I sold it off on ebay 15 years ago. I now have zero pairs. But if I could find a pair of V or VI I'd buy them...
