I knew someone that collected shoes that were over $200 dollars and he made it sound like doing so made him cool. I mean to me that's rediculous as I'm wearing 40 dollar shoes that have lasted me 4 years and they are fine for everything through basketball and casual activities, but if there's a reason for such expensive shoes besides collectibility I would be happy to know. Because that guy didn't give me a very good impression on that type of interest.
