Hi there all nice to have finally got the time to post an introduction. Ok so here goes, my name is Simon Cooper and i am a 35 year old overgrown child from Truro in Cornwall. I work for BT during the day and week nights am generally in the pub or at home preping for the weekend when i am a DJ playing dirty Acid Techno or Dubstep (not always at the most legal venues) , I always had a thing for nice trainers but never one style in particular, had the odd pair of superstars here and there but was never obsessional about them. However about 6 weeks ago a combination of seeing a really nice pair on a random at a party, combined with the kicking of a 40 a day Red Marlboro habit, much trawling of the net occurred and here i am 6 weeks and 8 pairs of superstars into what my mates are now calling a habit only slightly healthier than the smoking ( I am still quit by the way, no patches no gum, just will power and my next pair of kicks to focus on)
when i have the time i will try to get some pics of the obsession so far, but at the rate i am going it will be twice the size by then

Welcome to SSDB Simon. Replacing one addiction with another is the way forward. I've stopped myself going crazy over new supes by developing a raging crack cocaine habit. I'm much happier, calmer and way less stressed than I was when I was collecting supes
Supe like Wanton, Buju like Banton

Welcome sir. Hope both ventures go well for you, although I fear you have simply removed one monkey from your back, only to replace is with another!
