DJ Clark Kent talked about this in _Just For Kicks_ documentary with respect to Air Force 1's. He said getting dressed is "just confusion" because he is choosing a single pair from among hundreds of pairs in his collection. My collection isn't that big, but I get hangover from taking in too much social media and forum posts. It's a result of spending too much time zoomed in on sneakers. When I zoom out and consider life and existence in general, I get my balance restored. So to prevent hangover, I try to carefully choose who I follow and what sites I pay attention to, and -- less successfully -- how much time I spend on what everyone is saying and showing off. (I need to go through and winnow who I'm following on IG.)

As I get older, I look less at colorways (because my dress becomes more muted) and more at materials. I don't have a need to grow my collection to include every color in the rainbow. I don't spend time gawking at people showing off their huge collections of Air Jordan 1's. But Air Force 1 Highs on the other hand...!!
