I bought more shoes, and 2 crews but they haven't gotten here yet.

I never understood collecting shoes....I just don't see the appeal of most of them I suppose

No worries, I kind of am a sneaker head. Only when I can afford to spare though.

Don't think there's anything wrong with being a sneaker head, as long as you aren't a hypebeast who just buys shoes because they're popular.

Or these kids. Ease the Crave #37 : Judge Judy : Sneakerheads Sue Each Other Over Yeezy's - YouTube

I have pictures of me, not wearing the shoes. :D priceless

On Topic: Nice pick up for $30.

I didn't mean anything was wrong with it. I just don't understand buying shoes for $150+ because they've got more colors than the rainbow on them

That's what a lot of people feel, but I don't buy $150 shoes because they have a lot of colors, I buy $150 shoes for a variety of reasons.
This isn't necessarily true today, but in the earlier days of the sneaker game, expensive shoes were made much higher quality than the average shoe. And in the case of shoes like the Nike Air Yeezy's referred to in the video, the quality is actually amazing. The designs and painstakingly crafted by hardened professionals. One of the drawbacks of the sneaker game today though, is that the quality of $150+ releases has really gone down, which makes a lot of them not worth it.

I can definitely see what you mean about buying overpriced shoes for colors, but other times I buy for the design of the shoe and the overall look.

I will admit I have seen some B.APE shoes that I would love to have. But they were limited addition and cost like $800+ now. This guy who ran a ragnarok server I played used to collect B.APE shoes and he had a ton of them.

Yeah, BAPE's aren't really my type of shoe, but there are some okay ones.
