    You’re scared of puddles because your shoes will get dirty

    I’m scared of puddles because I have holes in my shoes

    We are not the same

    I see it the same as the people that collect those funco pops or whatever. I don’t get that, either. Or collecting plates or old soda cans.

    But, worst case scenario, at least you can wear the shoes if they ever stop being worth money because the government has destroyed the economy and we’re all living in a Mad Max world.

      At least shoes can be used as shoes.

      Funkopops was the ugliest toy line I’ve ever seen get popular until CumCrybaby came along

        I’m 99.99% sure that Funksopop development was based on someone saying at some point, “wait, can we just paint the same injection moulded plastic different ways and people will still want to collect them at a premium price?”

        Though at least they didn’t add the gambling aspect where you don’t know what you’re getting until after you buy it with some rare ones intended to get people to buy way more than the size of the collection.

    My cousin got into them pretty early in life. He lived in a cooler climate. I lived in rain every day more than likely South Florida and he came to visit one time and asked me to give him a piggie back a few times while he was visiting. He asked how I dealt with it all the time not realizing I was ever only in boots, flippy floppies, or barefoot.

    I picked up a pricey hobby that makes me scared of puddles. And trees. And power lines. Wind. Tall grass. Birds.

    I love flying FPV

    Last year, I got sneakers with a canvas cover to combat my stinky feet. And they’re heckin’ excellent for that. But yeah, now rain is scary. If too much comes from above, you get soggy feet. And if too much came from above, you’ve got dirt puddles that can somehow dye the white rubber rim. 🫠

    They’re usually basketball shoes and they’re for use on a indoor basketball court only. The different shoes are worn by different players so there is some meaning to each of them. It’s part of the flare of the game.

    Yes the entire hobby is manufactured but people can still enjoy it.
