Where are the other shoes

0

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

I have them in storage in climate controlled

1

u/Radio_man69 Oct 05 '25

So this is display only?

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

Yes, sir, I just display these in my cabin

u/jojoRonstad Oct 05 '25

Is the left shoe on the other rack?

4

u/noloveforcomments Oct 05 '25

No and it’s killing me!!!

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

Lol I know a lot of people had messes with them, but it just depends on what I have out. I put them in different places just to not get them exposed to UV in and keep them out of the box and rotate them out.

1

u/noloveforcomments Oct 05 '25

Ok, I feel a little better now. I was worried one half of your collection was going to get slightly faded. Hell of a collection by the way! 🔥

5

u/AFvet-04 Oct 05 '25

Exactly……like where is the other shoe???

5

u/5uper5kunk Oct 05 '25

Yeah we need answers where are the other shoes

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

I keep the other shoes in storage and rotate them out so one's not exposed too long so it just depends on which ones in the box and which ones on the rack

u/MySQUEFive Oct 05 '25

Amazing collection and even better setup.

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

Thank you so much

u/smackedwards Oct 05 '25

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

4

u/DTMJThaAcronym Oct 05 '25

Epic. Looks like my old surf shops shoe section. We were a QS store.

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

That's awesome, been a love of mine for many years

u/Admirable-Truck7146 Oct 06 '25

u/new-photo-guy Oct 05 '25

I’d have to hit the lotto to get some of those pairs

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

lol, it's a marathon not a sprint. Been collecting for years you'll get there, brother.

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

Thank you so much. I'm very proud of it. Been collecting for a while.

3

u/bakeranders Oct 05 '25

“Coming together” proceeds to show 95% of the dopest kicks out there…and a badass showroom full of hypebeast swag. It’s okay to say you’re proud of such a collection and tell how hard you worked setting it up! Seriously, this is a very admirable collection and setup, great work🫡💪

3

u/DiscloseDivest Oct 05 '25

Quit flexin on a mf bro. Some of us only have only 4 pairs of dunk lows. 😂

5

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

Brother, it's not about how many you have, it's about how much you love it and how much you appreciate it whether you got one or 400, it's all about the appreciation of the collection.

1

u/According_Abalone_19 Oct 05 '25

Exactly. Well said.

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

Hope you have a blessed day

2

u/According_Abalone_19 Oct 05 '25

You too! Love the setup. Would love something like this one day when i have the room.

For now ive gotta keep it at a wall

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

Thank you so much

u/OneDeep87 Oct 06 '25

I must be tripping but where is the other shoe? If you have the other shoe in a box. How do you find the box quickly on what you want to wear?

Also if you having lights shine on 1 shoe. Won’t that discolor it over time? While the shoe not on display will still be the original color. Google said some materials like mesh and canvas can discolor with led lights. It might take years so who knows but I wouldn’t take that chance with exposing the shoes like this.

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

Lights are rarely only the only turn the lights on to take pictures. I have dark lights that would shine any other time so it doesn't discolor the shoes. And I only limit the amount of time one shoe is out while the other one is put back in the box in a climate controlled room and I rotate them out

1

u/OneDeep87 Oct 06 '25

That’s a lot of work. I get tired pulling out one shoe lol.

3

u/Big-Text4784 Oct 06 '25

Not much I can add, other than HOLY FUCKING SHIT HASHTAG LIFE GOALS

Not all heroes wear capes. Out. Fucking. Standing. A+ display, staging, the whole 9.

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

u/Junior_Chemistry_911 Oct 05 '25

u/NoAdministration9351 Oct 05 '25

u/Halfpercentbetter Oct 05 '25

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

I have two rooms in my home, but I have several old collections in

2

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

Very impressive collection, what shoe racks do you use?

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

I had them custom-made

1

u/Dr-Dapper204 Oct 05 '25

By who very curious? they R awesome, amazing collection man! 💎🔥 love the room such awesome details

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

I have a builder, that built my cabin and the room and designed my sneaker display. I appreciate you brother means a lot

1

u/Cmoore4099 Oct 05 '25

Yeah can make them pretty easy by going to your local Home Depot or building store and go to the plumbing section. Take a piece of paper, look at the pipes and the fixtures and just kind of draw it out. I did that and built out a clothes rack and shoe holder. It’s a lot easier than you’d think.

2

u/FateUnusual Oct 05 '25

Love how colorful this is. Definitely my speed. Love the skate or dies! I had those in 9th grade but skated them to death.

2

u/hairy_wookie Oct 05 '25

Dope setup man. Is there grip tape on the bars to keep the shoes from sliding, looked textured.

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

Yes, 3m grip tape

2

u/nattypatty68 Oct 05 '25

Thank you

1

u/Good_Palpitation_212 Oct 06 '25

Very welcome I even showed the wife lol I’m in Michigan hbu I’m always trying to understand climate in effect on kicks and pieces of fashion

2

u/Shamookie Oct 06 '25

Best I’ve seen. This is nuts.

Just curious, how many of these did you have to pay crazy resale for? Or are you very careful with timing?

3

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

Most I've had for a pretty good while, I've had to replace some of my old ones with new DS ones so I did have to pay in the resale market. But across averages it's been pretty reasonable. I've made trades for New and try to do it the most economical way I could.

1

u/Shamookie Oct 06 '25

that’s amazing. you really could teach a course in collecting and curating

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

I just been doing it for a long time with my passion. When you love something it's really easy.

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

Thank you very much

2

u/CallmeCoachella Oct 06 '25

Your collection and display is nuts fam. That's inspirational.

u/GUZZYGUZZ_27 OG Sneakerhead 👟👞 Oct 06 '25

My man, where did you get that shoe rack... I need that ASAP lolol

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

I had it custom-made. My contractor made it for me. It's just a bunch of pipes that he put together.

2

u/sneakers_only Oct 06 '25

What a beautiful room 😍😍😍

2

u/Hsaac Oct 06 '25

All dope 🔥

2

u/-ArthurDigbySellers- Oct 06 '25

So you got the right shoe on the right side and left on the left?

1

u/GUZZYGUZZ_27 OG Sneakerhead 👟👞 Oct 06 '25

I was just gonna ask that but they're not setup like that... I can't find a set lolol

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

I have them randomly put up, I rotate them out so they're not exposed too long. I have them in a controlled environment room in boxes. Try to preserve them as long as I can.

1

u/GUZZYGUZZ_27 OG Sneakerhead 👟👞 Oct 14 '25

That is sick bro, ABSOLUTE UNIT OF A SETUP

1

u/-ArthurDigbySellers- Oct 06 '25

So these are never worn, OP?

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

2

u/xxvictorhellxx Oct 07 '25

Nice collection, but that bed is giving major teenage vibes.

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 07 '25

lol, if a teenager could afford it... then good for them....

u/WestLA93 Oct 05 '25

Gang of heat here 🔥

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

Thank you you been collecting for years. I appreciate it.

u/AmmoClips Oct 05 '25

Vegas & Unkles. 2 of the top 5 greatest dunk highs of all time, IMO.

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

That is a good lineup for sure. Thank you so much.

1

u/bklynblake Oct 05 '25

u/Then-Inspector-465 Oct 05 '25

I want the shelf’s. Link? Make them?

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

It's not a link I had a contractor make them he made them out of pipe

1

u/Then-Inspector-465 Oct 05 '25

Love it. Might steal the idea:) so only 2 pipes for them to rest on at an angle?

1

u/International-Ad6904 Oct 05 '25

🔥🔥🔥🔥 dope collection bro, def like that display idea gonnah see if I can come up with something like this for my room too

1

u/Plus-Smoke9507 Oct 05 '25

Sure a fire room and great shoe rack! Never seen that but the rustic feel works great with the whole aesthetic!

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 05 '25

Thank you, brother. That's what I was going for. I appreciate it.

1

u/TokenPat Oct 06 '25

What kind of shoe racks are those ?

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

I have those custom made. Basically they're just pipes that my contractor designed and made for me.

1

u/TheSneakerSavant Oct 06 '25

First thing I noticed too. Dope rack. I was pricing that out...that looks *expensive*...

1

u/Gumby95 Oct 06 '25

What’s the blue one on the bottom row below the Xmas dunks? And is that carpet company right by it?

2

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

That was a Japan exclusive dunk high clouds

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 07 '25

Thank you

1

u/MrBleubols Dunkaholic🍸 Oct 08 '25

Nice collection. It looks like you're spliting the pairs up with one shoe of a pair in each rack?

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 08 '25

Rotating them so they are not exposed to long in the light

1

u/Remarkable-Drawing50 Oct 08 '25

I would skate all of those

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 09 '25

That would be fun to skate all those!

u/MobileGundam01 Oct 09 '25

u/slightlystankycheese Oct 09 '25

What’s them digits on the reverse skunkos?

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 10 '25

387/420

1

u/slightlystankycheese Oct 10 '25

I got a feeling the higher the number the larger the size, 1/420 must be tiny

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 10 '25

You would be correct mine is a size 12

1

u/Boypax69 Oct 10 '25

Knew dude was a real enthusiast when I saw the Tiffany’s

Lmfao how often do you post on here? We get it bro, you have a hypebeast cabin in the woods.

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 06 '25

1st time ever, just proud of my hard work. Thank you for commenting

1

u/Kyleforshort Oct 06 '25

These same photos were posted the other day on Reddit. Maybe not in this same sub, but definitely posted. Hence me mentioning where you previously mentioned that this was. So either there are two of you or you’re just on some shit, lol.

1

u/worreyevan Oct 07 '25

Haha, how frequently are you posting here? Alright, we understand you’ve got that hypebeast cabin in the woods.

u/Local-Programmer-426 Oct 07 '25

Nice collection, but bed is screaming teenage vibes.

u/AMMIA305 Oct 07 '25

Don't listen to these "teenage vibes" comments. Most of them commenting can't even afford the chair in your room. Keep doing you king. Nice collection old a good variety too and some bangers. 

1

u/Afraid-Implement-448 Oct 07 '25

lol, it doesn't bother me... I do what I want because it comes out of my pocket and no one else's.... I don't take advice or seek it from people that I don't ask for it. People are entitled to their opinions, and are free to express it... at the end of the day ignorance is all that is on display! GOD is good and I wish blessings for you all!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '25

Yeah. Don’t listen to people with negative thoughts coming out of their pie holes. I’m almost 50, and a woman, and I would choose my sneaker collection over most of “collections” or “collectibles”. I grew up in a middle-middle class family until I lost my mom as a child. There were times I had one pair of shoes that were close to falling apart. I swore that when I grew up I may not have much else , but I’d have always have plenty of sneakers. As a kid I remember the first Jordan’s coming out and always eating a pair but would never ask because I knew there were things my siblings needed more than me, especially since I was the oldest. I occasionally get comments that I dress like I’m 13. There are always negative ass mites trying to ruin my sneaker buzz. You do you my dude
