It certainly is a good one to ponder over. At what point do you consider what you've gathered 'a collection'? Mine kinda happened gradually and sub-consciously!
I always knew supes were my favourites but I didn't set out to start collecting them. I bought quite a few different styles of sneaker then one day my mate pointed out that
I had leaned heavily towards a superstar 'collection'. That's when I realised my addiction for this fine sneaker.

I found out just a few years ago that my younger brother also collects superstars! (spotted him wearing a pair of Chilli Peppers) It was all totally unrelated as he didn't even know that I was a collector.
This leads me to believe that we are just products of our time - 80's & 90's hip-hop heads - and we're making up for the fact that we never owned a decent pair of trainers as kids,
although we both always wanted a pair of supes. I've had fun finding and buying supes for him as well as myself over the past few years.
So for me, yeah, I think there is something psychological about it. That and the fact that I just like supes!!!
