Now that I've made the case for it being okay to collect deadstock sneakers, I'd like to highlight some of our readers who share the same sentiment.

In posts on Twitter and Facebook, we asked you which sneakers (if any) you plan on always keeping deadstock. The most popular response? Predictably, "None! Shoes are meant to be worn." In between, we found a few collectors who have decided to keep a pair or two on ice, for one reason or another. Whether it's the age of the sneakers, sentimental value or just enjoyment found in being able to own a fresh pair.

Scroll through 20 responses below and let us know if there's a pair of kicks you're leaving in the box and why.
