What Your Favorite Sneaker Store Says About You

You drove two hours for an Air Jordan 1 restock or to find a sample pair of Huaraches, but left with a pair of shorts.

Your favorite person on Instagram is @upscale_vandal. After blowing half your rent on shoes, the rest of your fit is undoubtedly designer knock-offs from H&M and Zara.

You champion the small guy, but still end up with skate shoes from Nike SB or adidas.

You came here for a suit and some chinos "for work" but left with New Balance 998s and a grip of denim shirts.

Before you cop a sneaker, you calculate the resale value. Half of your collection is wrapped in cellophane.

You unintentionally purchased your dad's O.G. Air Max 96s. You only shop on Mondays, though, when the whole store is an additional 50-percent off.

You need 15 previews on Instagram to convince you to make a purchase.

You only buy your Air Monarchs from tent sales held in the middle of a parking lot.

Your skateboard and skate shoes are simply accessories for posting up at the mall on Friday nights.

You don't think a sneaker is official until it's put on your feet by someone in a ref shirt.

You gave up on hunting at old sporting goods store but refuse to buy anything retro.

You make your purchases based off of what coupons you have.

You either "miss the old New York" or have been shopping here since you played pee-wee league and, hey, they happen to get LeBrons and KDs.

You've graduated from shopping at Yellow Rat Bastard since those tragic goth days as a youth, and have come full circle to a more respectable chain that at the least carries the most basic of sneakers.
