Being a sneakerhead is rough job. We have to deal with shit that "normal" people don't even have to think about. Sometimes it's so bad that an entire day can be ruined just from being a sneakerhead. Think about it. If you have a job and actually have to go to it, that means you've got the monumental task of deciding what kicks to wear. That means you're already dealing with things "regular people" don't have to. In fact, there's so many things that make a day in the life of a sneakerhead challenging, it's a wonder how anyone actually likes sneakers. Check out 10 Ways Being A Sneakerhead Ruins Your Day and know that we feel your pain.

You gotta worry about the constant flow of new release news all day and night.
If your phone keeps pinging like that with Google Alerts 24 hours a day, your side chick is gonna think you have another side chick. Be careful out there.
It rains on the day you un-deadstock your grails.
Rain may be annoying to some but to sneakerheads, it can make a worn once VVVVVVVNDS grail into a worthless sneaker you actually have to wear.
You can't even walk without looking like a duck.
Walking like a duck is only cool if you actually go to or went to Oregon and you're wearing the kicks. Otherwise, walking like that just makes you look foolish.
When you can't sleep, you end up spending money on sneakers.
One of the joys of the modern era is that you can shop for sneakers 24 hours a day, all from the comfort of your own home. Or your own bed. Especially at 4:28 a.m., when everyone else is asleep and there's no chance of a site crashing. Nothing like a couple clearance pairs to cure your insomnia.
Step in dog crap.
Sure, that may ruin everyone's day but if a sneakerhead steps in shit while wearing his Yeezys...And you thought a woman scorned was bad. Clearly you haven't seen Diddy step in shit.
Go broke on Kicks Deals at lunch.
Seriously, if your lunch is an hour, you might want to get a job that cuts it in half. Kicks Deals is addicitive.
You fight with your girl over being on Twitter at dinner.
At least your girlfriend is real, though. We hope. (We're pretty sure Teo didn't get this memo.)
You actually get through on the toughest drop and your credit card is declined.
Maybe you shouldn't have bought all the releases last week. And the week before that. And the week before that. And the week before that...
Wear the same Jordans as a friend.
Talk about a party foul, bruh bruhs.
Late for work every morning trying to figure out which kicks to wear.
Even if you went through the trouble of taping photos to the side of each box and creating a cross-referenced spreadsheet, it's never gonna be easy. Especially when the box you're looking for is at the bottom of a stack and the sneakers aren't even in it.
