It’s sounding like you figured out all this shit corny, you grew up. You don’t need approval from anyone, you’re not seeking validation anymore. I’m proud of you bro. 💯

[@JorgeGarcia-nl2ds]

fr, sneaker heads are corny, back in the day it was a culture but now its just people spending money to feel cool

[@Panda_J1]

@@JorgeGarcia-nl2dsit was always about been cool and not looking poor. In high school people used to get picked on for not having the latest Js.

Is corny because it doesnt belong to GOD material things , & rich lifestyle is satanic is not goin to make you happy if the grace of God isnt there follow Jesus 🙏🏽

You should never tell someone you don’t know that you’re proud of them

[@dunkkid23]

I've been a sneaker collector since 2002 and after the birth of my first child, I've came to the conclusion that life is meant to be lived and not spent. I'm getting so much more from my family than any sneaker release I've ever been apart of. I still like shoes but I live more for the experiences that life rewards. Shout out to you and your growth. It's good to see more people taking time for themselves rather than impressing others. Keep going and growing. Lâche pas mò frè.

Who you telling

[@MysticKoiFish79]

Man bro who you telling

[@Dayxh8]

Facts , when I was in high school 2011-2015 sneaker releases were just exciting . The sneaker game wasnt as mainstream and watered down. We got 1 or 2 great releases a month and it felt like each release meant somethin. I actually got a rush from getting a new shoe I wanted and adding to my collection. Now it’s just too many shoes releasing and the game is just lame af.

[@URG2003]

​​@@Dayxh8 too many people glazing over what celebrities wear too many people hopping on trends they never were interested in in the first place aka folks dressing like they was in the hood in the early 2000s but really frowned at my black people for having this shit on. Too many people following each other in circles in general since 2020

[@UzitheSaint]

Facts. My brother works for adidas as a designer at FOG and even he’s been saying the market is kinda over saturated. He did say FOG is too slow at releases tho too nit picky

[@eversleyking9209]

This is called growth. Most people go through their whole life and never come to this realization. Some do it much later in life. For someone, your age to reach this level of maturity is commendable and I applaud you for talking to the youth of this generation to do the same. Thank you

[@FreshYoungDude]

I agree with a lot of what you said. But for me, it’s not a competition. I’m just buying what I like and wanted as a kid. I do it for me or at least that’s how I justify all my purchases lol. Grew up poor and couldn’t afford nice shoes or cool toys, so I’ve spent a lot of my adulthood catching up. It’s fun!

[@noeldimaggiojr101]

this a fact!! i also do it because at this moment it’s just me, once i have a kid i’ll slow down

[@user-nk5bw8ml4z]

You weren’t poor. Your parents just didn’t want to buy you stuff. Now you have less self control and budget habits than your parents did.

[@OCCollects]

Mindsets change constantly, I got a wife and 3 kids and most of the time now I end up getting the sneakers I really want, knowing I can make 300-500 on them depending on the shoe and I’d rather use that money to take my kids to the zoo, or a theme park, or take my wife out to eat and I don’t regret a single thing. I enjoy sneakers, I appreciate them, but success means different things. I got a healthy wife and kids, I got financial peace, I enjoy my job that allows me to be with my family more. I’m 28 this year and I don’t give two shits about material things.

[@ImBack2Sav]

This the realest shit I’ve watch on KZbin. I’m 22 and idk but I recently started to feel this way, like we buy materialistic shit for people. Now I started to buy shit for me and for myself only, only things I really like.

Me personally, im not trying to keep up with the joneses or competing with anyone. I like sneakers, always have. I buy what I like and don’t feel guilty about it. Everybody is on a personal journey. Not everybody’s path is the same. At the end of the day you have to do what makes you happy.

[@csn2213]

The Bible tells us you cannot serve two masters. For those who chose to pursue money over God, they will never achieve real lasting joy. Material items will never be enough; happiness for a moment but not everlasting joy.

[@datguysammy]

just had this conversation the other day. it's very true that our egos can honestly get in the way trying to keep up with the people we see on social media or that instant gratification that comes from purchasing something new and after you see it and wear it once, you're looking for what's next. we have to be more content and show gratitude to what we have in front of us and not what we see from other's highlight reel. great video bro!

[@rellswrld]

The cool part of your content is that I see growth...been watching your journey for years and you seem to get things at an earlier age than I did. Keep growing bro.

[@sonwabogambushe2754]

I love Your Growth Bro, I relate so much to what You are Saying. Happiness and Peace over everything.

[@dawsondavis194]

Man, this video couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Just yesterday I felt the burnout of the always needing more sneakers that I started contemplating selling them all. I’ve been watching your channel off and on since I was 13. I’m 21 now and it’s crazy that you said “I wish I knew when I was 21.” That hit me hard. I think as sneakerheads we lie to ourselves and say “once I have these sneakers I’m done” but then we still need more. Not to brag but I have accumulated around a $20k collection and I still say that to myself. I would love to hear you keep talking about this topic because I don’t think it’s discussed enough. We have enslaved ourselves to consumerism. Always needing the best and biggest thing has such a strangle on our lives. Blessings brother❤️🤙🏽

[@amazingworldofraffyandfran7556]

Dang! What you just said is so inspirational! I think LIFE IS A PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! As long you attain peace and not stepping on others! Love your videos bro!

[@timothybrown8424]

I’m 36 and I realized that I don’t need to buy everything that I want. I think carefully, ponder for a little while, calculate if I decide to go through with it, and make sure I enjoy whatever I bought for a good while before I buy a similar item. I learn to enjoy what I have for a longer time instead of finding good deals or whatever is hot. Video Game, Shoes, electronics, clothes, household items, etc. all have to get vetted by me before I purchase it. Also, the lasting effect of enjoying the simple things in life like practicing a hobby, enjoying going out, exercising, good rest, good movies/shows, music, cleaning, decorating your place, etc. are really rewarding as well.

[@238Harmonics]

man this is the best video I’ve ever watched today. I can relate to what you said about constantly buying things like sneakers, clothes and what not then aiming for more. I’ve been to that cycle as a sneaker lover too. It was a nice ride until I realized one day that it was so stressful because you’ll get addicted to it and you never stop wanting for more. As a 31 years old I realized peace of mind is more important than spending to the things you never really “need” just to feed your ego. Lesson learned is, just be wise and contented 🙂

[@Itzkassied]

You hit it right on the nail with this video. I’m 31 and recently I’ve also been dealing with these thoughts and changes in my life. I love sneakers always will but it’s true it’s this vicious cycle we get stuck in that we think makes us happy. But happiness can’t be bought! Fighting cancer made me realize the most important thing in my life was not the material shit. It was my time… my happiness!!

[@AllAboutNat]

It's all a part of growing up tbh. I've been a sneaker lover since the late 90's. I'm 45 now and still have a collection but it's not a priority in my life. Experiences and family is far more important.

[@hyperclixgaming9958]

Wow Mike this was a really insightful video. I’ve been watching you since I was about 17 years old and I’m 23 now. I’ve been thinking to myself similarly to what you were talking about how as a youngin we want to make all this money to get new stuff and it’s a never ends, I am at the point my younger self so desperately wanted to be; full time job, moved out and have more kicks and clothes than I ever did yet it still feels semi-hollow. The notion that we should be more focused on what pleases us at our core instead of what social media engineers us to desire is a great point

[@willyvisosa3237]

what youre speaking about is so true, life is not about chasing the next big thing is about finding your own way to be happy

Man bro I love these videos I’ve been watching you for more than 6 years and I’ve been going through the same thing for years. I’ve been also collecting shoes since 2012 and I’m 26 now with a 3 year old now it just feel like the material shit never ends. Like no matter what I do like buy sneakers, cars, and clothes there always going to be something new and it never ends. I thank god I’m fortunate enough to afford it but honestly it’s hard to stop and invest on my self like make content like you.

Don’t know if it’s just Sneakers but I’ve felt the same kind of burnout from social media including Instagram You talked about “not being there” and the never ending battle to compete for attention At the end of the day, if you’re reading this comment, you love sneakers. But the type of content creator I, personally tend to gravitate towards are those that intend to enrich the sneaker community by being open and transparent of their journey and sharing their perspectives and opinions.

[@user-nj4hf8kz5z]

Hey Sneaker Life, I too have been feeling this fatigue with sneakers and materialistic desires. The magic of buying these things is the story they tell and the work you put in to ultimately afford them, not the item itself. Specifically for the sneaker market, it’s been bastardised into a whole business of reselling and yes we have experienced that in the past but it’s just gotten out of hand to the extent that normal consumers who want to enjoy sneakers for what they are and not treat them as a quick cheque or a commodity can’t even do that. I can speak for the rest of your audience that we have grown and matured, and this video letting us know we aren’t the only ones who’ve experienced the diminishing magic of innocence and our love for sneakers is very reassuring. Bless 🙏

Most of us flexed for genuine appreciation for the hobby. We didn't trip on who had what. It was always mutual respect. Like most good things, it was all hijacked over by these frauds over the years. I still collect, but not like I used to. To be honest, if I had it to do over, I probably wouldn't Lost sight of what's really important in life.

Yup! Im feeling you on this topic. Im done with sneakers. Been at it since 2016 and now all the 2016 releases are coming back. I take that as a sign to move on. Sneaker culture is the most toxic of all communities im a part of. Probably has a lot to do with age range, immaturity.

[@MIAFL1]

You’re older than me by a year or two but I’ve been collecting since I was 15 and on KZbin since it started pretty much (no ads, everything free days) and I agree with you for the most part. Even though most of these lifestyle videos are faked or misleading, I do think the motivation that it can provide has some benefits similar to seeing a rich character in a movie. Complacency is also a very dangerous thing, imagine a world where no one wanted to get better. There definitely should be less of that type of content, but it can do good things for some. I applaud your shift into more life focused content 🙏🏾

[@bloodshot6]

Went through this in the past two years. It feels like a new sense of freedom not being stressed out on FOMO. I think it’s okay to appreciate a tangible item, but a person doesn’t need to own every single sneaker that comes out. It’s okay to like something and never owning it. Enjoy what you and “time” is the true luxury.

[@TheAlexSousa635]

I've also been falling off on sneakers. Everyone is just releasing so many shoes and so many colorways. It's hard to keep on top of things, hard to pick and choose what you wanna prioritize when it comes to sneakers, and most importantly, everything is so over saturated. Everyone and their momma wears the same thing. There's not a spark anymore, a thing that makes you wanna tap into the sneaker game. Part of it is obviously that we've grown up and started liking other things or prioritizing spending money somewhere else but I think most of what I said still holds truth.

Yeah man, I feel you. I went from over 80 pairs to about 30. And that still feels like too much. If I don’t wear a sneaker for over a month, I sell it.

Glad social media wasn’t around when I was a teen.

[@ricerr3821]

Wow, your perspective at your age is very profound. I totally agree with you also. Being a slave to money or materials is not a great idea and that doesn’t mean you can’t have nice things, be wealthy and enjoy life. It looks different for everyone, but we all should be true to ourselves and not to what we think we should be doing based on what others think.
