In the early morning of January 14th, a handsome young man hurried aboard the Sanya airport and sat on the plane flying to Guangzhou. He was an environmental assessment engineer who arrived in Hainan just from Guangzhou just a day ago to take part in a project evaluation.

So rushing back to Guangzhou, I had to rush to a gathering of fans on 14 nights.

Another identity of the EIA Engineer is a celebrity in the Guangzhou shoe collection world.

In this circle, everyone called him "one brother".

On the evening of 14, a gathering of shoes enthusiasts with the theme of "recreating legend" was held in a ball shoe store on Tianhe Road. Shopkeepers collected many sneakers' A F1 series sneakers on the spot and invited them to take turns to share their stories and feelings.

"One brother" enthusiasts

80% income is used to buy sports shoes.

One brother is a shy big boy. He basically stands in a corner at a party, and occasionally gets acquaintance with each other when he sees it.

He said he had liked basketball since primary school and naturally liked playing sports shoes.

When you were young, you lived in the north, and you could wear sneakers all the year round, so you bought a lot of sneakers.

And actually began collecting shoes, when in junior high school, from this hobby has been run through his middle school, University, overseas study and return to work.

One brother told Nandu reporters that every pair of shoes was carrying some memorable memories in his life.

His favorite pair of shoes is a high iD (customized) A F1 sneakers, which are mainly red and yellow, and are launched by a brother when he married 25th anniversary.

"Because I only like sneakers, I naturally think of a pair of sneakers to commemorate this special year.

Because my dad is a very traditional person, so I chose the same "A" F1 shoes as "grandfather" class, and because my father's "red and expert" complex, so I chose the red yellow matching with the national flag.

I also have a pendant on my shoes. I carved my father's love letter and the initials of their names on the pendant.

But these shoes eventually returned to their own hands. "Actually, I have my own selfish motives to make these shoes.

I was the same size as my father's shoes. I said he was sent to him, but not in my hands.

One brother laughed.

In addition to recording a warm moment of affection, his brother also used shoes to record friendship between friends.

One brother pointed to a pair of pure white shoes with full names on the shelves, which is the most telling story of a pair of shoes.

In August last year, when he visited Taiwan, he called on the local fans to collect fans.

"I think everyone is a shoe lover. It's the most appropriate thing to have a friendship on such a pair of shoes."

So one brother found a pair of pure white A F1 sneakers, which made Taiwan's shoe friends sign on a shoe, and returned to the mainland, and invited mainland's shoe friends to sign on another shoe.

How much does it cost to start playing different kinds of shoes regularly? One brother said he did not count himself. He only said that 80% of his income would be used to purchase all kinds of sneakers after he came out.

White collar enthusiasts

Scoring shoes store into luxury stores

White collar is also a frequent visitor to the Guangzhou shoe collection gathering.

Because he often receives some unexpected goods, he is often invited to share his new harvest collection at the party.

At this party, ah Kun's pair of A F1Lux

Sneakers again became the focus of the competition. He said it was his favorite pair of shoes.

This pair of sneakers is made in Italy. Shoes and shoes are taken by 18K gold. Shoes and other parts are made of genuine alligator skin. The price is up to 7000 yuan RMB, known as N Ike, which sells the highest price shoes in history.

At a chance, he met someone to sell. Although the shoes were a bit defective, he said he decided to accept it almost without considering it. Now the price of these shoes has exceeded 10000 yuan.

Ah Kun said he still remembered that he bought the first pair of shoes, which was the summer vacation in junior high school.

He said that at that time, his family was in general condition, and he received more than 1000 yuan red envelopes during the Spring Festival. When he was in the summer vacation, he had the courage to take more than 600 to buy a pair of sports shoes. At that time, he really wanted to have a pair of shoes.

"Remember that day I went home by bus, and when I got off the train, it was raining hard. I rushed home with my shoes. The first thing to do was to open the shoe box and see if the shoes were wet."

At that time, he said that walking into a shoe store was like walking into a luxury store. He felt very sacred and tall. He didn't think he could become a collector of shoes now.

Circle Eight Diagrams

There are thousands of pairs of shoes in Guangzhou. There are at least 4000 pairs in Northeast China.

According to reports, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and other places are the most active areas of sports shoes collection in Japan. How many people are there in Guangzhou's local shoe collectors? There is no statistical data.

But Guo Cheng, who runs a 14 year shoe store in Guangzhou and is a well-known collector in the circle, told reporters in Nandu that the number of WeChat public numbers in their shoe shops was 30 thousand users.

"This circle is not small, but everyone is very low-key."

Guo Cheng, who regularly organizes all kinds of sports shoes, says that although Guangzhou's shoe friends are low-key, they are very united, and are willing to share their collections and stories with you.

Who has the largest number of sneakers in the circle? Guo Cheng and his partner's Western cakes have hundreds of pairs of sneakers at the peak. They say they have familiar local shoe friends. There are thousands of pairs of shoes in the family. What is the concept of "thousand pairs"? We store 1000 pairs of ball shoes at the peak of the store, and the whole two floor, dozens of square meters of shops are all shoe boxes.

But this is not the most widely seen in the country. Guo Cheng said he knew that the most expensive shoe friends in the northeast region, home received more than 4000 pairs of shoes.

Circle reminder

Collection

Do not follow the wind, do not ask for the most expensive, but love the most.

With the rapid development of Internet and logistics, quite a number of qualified footwear friends feel that the new shoe friends entering the hole are too happy.

Guo Cheng said that in the 90s of last century, information was relatively closed, and everyone knew about sneakers. They could only find some shoes magazines that had been circulated in Hongkong.

One brother said that in the early years, collecting shoes basically could only take chances. Many shoes could not be bought because they could not find the place and way to buy them.

Looking at a pair of shoes, they can only ask their friends around to find out, look for them, and also face the huge risk of buying fake goods.

Nowadays, it's only necessary to search online or to order from a shoe store.

One brother reminds some novice, collecting ball shoes is a "bottomless abyss".

"The sea of shoes is boundless. In the vast sea of shoes, you can find a series of true love. When you get your hands, you will have the pleasure of harvest."

Many senior shoe makers have said that the collection of sneakers is not to pursue the most expensive and rare products, but to do their best according to their own preferences.

Ah Kun also believes that the collection of sneakers should not blindly follow suit.
