 * Delete It's already on UrbanDictionary; I think it's too much even for Wiktionary. ― LADY GALAXY 03:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a legitimate and notable hobby/subculture. Books (Sneakers: The Complete Collectors' Guide, Where'd you get those? Sneaker Freaker), documentaries (Just for Kicks), and magazines (Sneaker Freaker) have been devoted to the subject. Maybe renaming it to something like Sneaker collecting or Sneaker culture etc would be appropriate, or a merge to Athletic shoe for later expansion.  This is an important subject in hip hop fashion and urban culture. Calliopejen1 (talk) 04:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep While the article may be relatively short and not written well, numerous reputable sources establish the subject to be very notable. Such sources include the Washington Post, New York Times 1, NY Times 2, San Diego Union Tribune to list a few. This article should be kept and improved. -- Hdt 83     Chat 08:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to sneaker collecting. I fixed some of the most egregiously bad writing, but it still needs a lot of help. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 23:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Whaa? There are several reliable sources listed at the bottom. &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 18:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - A subculture that has it's own books and even a TV program on ESPN. Personally, I'm a Nike Head (and I wear chains that excite the feds). -- E n d l es s D a n  13:41, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:N and everything else. A move to sneaker collecting might be a good choice per brighterorange.  Hobit (talk) 23:19, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
