So what I want to know is if you finally get your hands on the limited edition shoes such as the Bathing Apes Shoes,
do the owners of these precious kicks actually wear them or are they
immediately retired in their box to a display room with other popular
shoes?

I would imagine that if you owned a pair of these shoes that the
minute you wore them outside they may lose part of their uniqueness.
Kind of like how you were never suppose to open up a package or bend a
baseball card or read those treasured comic books. Do people collect these shoes like dolls and cards?
