You're on a first-name basis with the managers at every local sneaker store.
And we're not talking Amar'e.
You've bought a sneaker you already had because you forgot you already bought them.

You get sneakers for free but still buy other pairs - as well as doubles of the ones you got.
Guilty as fuck.
You pick your outfit based on what sneakers you wear.
Started from the bottom means something completely different for sneakerheads. Sorry, Aubrey Graham.
You've bought a pair of sneakers "just because."
I mean, you might wear them. Someday.
You have more sneaker photos on your Instagram than you can remember taking.
Did you ever even own those sneakers or was that just shot in the local Foot Locker. We can't be mad, maybe you'll make the #complexkicks best list.
You've cleaned your shoes as soon as you get home from school.
Forget that, you've cleaned your shoes immediately after getting a speck of dirt on them. That's the real sneakerhead way.
You both love and hate bots at the same damn time.
I mean how else were you going to secure a pair of Cork LeBrons? Sn'eads knows.
You have a favorite sneaker writer.
Hi, Russ.
No one on the internet knows what you look like because all your Instagram pictures are of your shoes, socks, and ankles.
This also might mean you're just a troll. Choose wisely.
You have a note saved on your phone with all the sneaker hashtags so you can just copy and paste.
You gotta get those followers up, bruh.
You bought a DSLR just to take better pictures of your kicks for Instagram.
We all have priorities, right?
You know the difference between Flight Plate, Zoom Air, Lunarlon, and Sprintframe.
Not only do you know them, you may have even educated someone on the differences yourself. You're welcome.
You've subscribed to YoAnty, Nightwing2303, Heskicks, Kustoo, Jumpmanbostic, Franalations, KickGenius, and DamnnEricka on Youtube.
You've subtweeted someone who got a free pair of sneakers that you didn't.
Maybe if you actually were deserving, you would have got them in the first place? (Sorry if you're egotistical head just exploded.)
You have so many sneakers you can't keep them all in one room.
From extra closets to basements to storage units, space is always a problem for sneakerheads.
You have text message alerts setup for Nike Store Twitter.
You can't get much thirstier but you won't get a hyped release without it.
You change sneakers 2 or 3 times per day.
Fred knows.
