The truth is, there’s many reasons why we decide to buy a particular pair of kicks. Some of the reasons include because you love a particular silhouette, or maybe you’re a fan of a certain colorway, or maybe because the shoe has some emotional significance to you. I don’t want to give them all away so I’ll let you read the rest of this article.

Of course sometimes we make instinct purchases, but even those shoes have a valid reason as to why we bought them. Buying sneakers is not a cheap hobby, so the next time that you’re about to buy a pair of shoes, ask yourself “Why am I buying this pair of shoes?”

So without further ado, here are 10 Reasons Why We Buy Sneakers:

• Emotional Attachment
• Exclusivity
• History
• Comfort
• Affordable ( not always)
• Colorway
• Brand Loyalty
• Hype
• Silhouette Collector
• Because you like it
