The obsession is getting ridamndiculous!!! How do u wake up in the middle of the night and go from surfing the net to fall back asleep to buying 3 pairs of supes??? The urge to buy was severe, the hesitation to spend the money was non-existent, and the joy of pressing the "Complete Your Order" button was overpowering! The realization that there may be a problem is confirmed with the stacks of blue boxes against the wall. Its affirmed that the addiction needs to be addressed, when moving to a bigger place to fit all the boxes is considered a solution to the growing space issue. Recognizing that there is no hope, and intervention is futile, is going into withdrawal from having not bought a pair of supes in 2 weeks........ Is that not sick as hell?!! Sry for the rant but the first step to recovery is admitting u have a problem. With that being said.............Im excited as all out to have the brown truck with the surly delivery man who is sick and tired of coming to my residence bless me with his presence again!

i've found that it doesn't stop, but it certainly slows down. I was at a steady pair/week pace for a while but now I'm down to about once a month. it's tough, but eventually you run out of soops you like.

What everyone else has said pretty much.I expected it to near on stop after my last 2 pickups but i find meself 4pairs behind on new release pickups i want and watching 1 or 2 on ebay.
For me it goes quiet for abit then boom they all seem to come at once
unfortunately for me finances played a part last week and i had to admit defeat on some made in france superstars!!
Just when you think you've got all the ones you wanted another will appear so it'll never stop and don't try to understand why having box upon box upon box seems to be your way
YOU have been CHOOSEN and BLESSED with the GIFT we call ADIDAS SUPERSTAR MADNESS :d OR IS IT A CURSE??
Enjoy it m8 cause there's no point in fighting the bloody thing you won't win
It's not the size of the feet!!it's the amount of quality on em

glad its not just me then! Do you ever put them all in a big heap and just lay in them? or is that just me?...
In all seriousness I dont think it stops but like others have said, it does slow down. I havent bought very many pairs in the last few months, mostly down to finances. But there are a few I'm hoping to grab soon...
I find for me it comes in spats, on month I might only pick up one or two pairs, other months I'l pick up two or three pairs in a week!

I can only talk for myself, but i think it´s the search for the special thing, the holy grail. ok, some here say the top secrets are the holy grail, but are they stop buying / collecting supes when they have got them? i don´t think so...
For me is it like a need. If i don´t have a look after the holy grail for 2 weeks on ebay i feel sick. ... it's an addiction.
That is sick!
