"I've had some friends come in and say: 'Oh, God!' Some people think they are cool," Morris said. "My aunt and uncle came over, and I didn't take them in my room. I told them that they would be disgusted."
Morris' bedroom has turned into a shrine to Nike Dunks SB. Empty shoe boxes — they're needed when he resells a pair — are stacked to the ceiling in no apparent order. The collection of shoes includes nearly every color and design imaginable, from the cobalt-hued sneakers with a blue-checkered interior ("The Blue Lobster") to the light pink, yellow and black pair called the "Miss Piggy." All of them are arranged side by side on a mix of metal shelves, wooden planks and converted bookcases. Tape is used in certain areas to reinforce the weighted-down surfaces.
Sean Conway has a number of friends who have hundreds of pairs of Nike Dunks, and his own collection is around 500 pairs.
Morris is just one of a growing number of sneaker fans — referred to as "sneaker heads" — with hundreds of pairs of shoes.
