    Better to collect luxury watches as they take up less space. But it's good to own some rare sneakers too, but 300 is too much.

      @user-nh7ke9ec7s 6 місяців тому +1

      U think rolex comes at a price of 300 ? Have u seen the prices of luxury watches

    • @silveriver9
      @silveriver9 6 місяців тому +2

      @user-nh7ke9ec7s with the money he spent on 300 plastic/rubber shoes, he could have got at least 6 rolexes at AD retail price, which is a better investment. But I understand he enjoys sneakers.

    • @bassyey
      @bassyey 6 місяців тому

      $300 is fine for a quality shoes, handmade. I have a boot leather and a loafer that each cost $300 a pair. These can be resoled and will last long. The shoes in this video are low-quality trash shoes, it's Nike, it's trash.

      Each of their own. There is no “better to this and that”. Like Why watches? Why not cars why no properties why not rare diamonds..

    • @silveriver9
      @silveriver9 6 місяців тому +1

      @chuenhongyu3714 That's why I said that as an investment, luxury watches are better, but I can understand why he likes sneakers.

    To this guy, he say that people look at sneakers before making eye contact. Well, maybe that's for him. In the real world and majority of people, people don't really care about your nike sneakers.
    That's reality. Just go to a mall, or a mrt train. People just don't care what you wear. It's easy for people who are in the sneaker hobby to find all sorts of reasons to validate their hobby. Real fact is...nobody cares.

    • @jamesmadison3108
      @jamesmadison3108 6 місяців тому +5

      The thing about a shoe being rare is due to the quantity of it being manufactured, it doesn't make it look nice. Some rare sneakers have multi colors and wierd designs...or some just look plain normal. Don't even look nice at all. If one just buy sneakers just because it's rare, it speaks alot of one shallow mindedness.
      An ugly shoe becomes nice just because it's rare? That's stupidity.

      Depend on how one define rich in life. This can be an expensive habit to some but not to others. Some people collect shoes. Others collect antiques and gold bars and one of such items can be worth a good portion of the wall and cabinet collection of a sneaker fan etc. It all depends on perspectives.

    How does he keep those shoes from disintegrating over time in Singapore's tropical climate?? Those shoe cases aren't temperature or humidity controlled.

    • @computerhole
      @computerhole 6 місяців тому +1

      It’s usually those shoes with EVA foam that are prone to disintegrating, many of the shoes that he featured are rubber soles

    Purchases is not pronounced 'Per-Chases'. There is no 'A' sound in the word at all. This is one of the weirded Singaporean mispronunciations. Becasue no other country says it that way, so it couldnt have been copied incorrectly.
