That DJ Khaled, he sure got a heap of shoes, I tell ya! More shoes than a centipede’s got feet, that fella. They say he’s got more than 10,000 shoes. 10,000! Can you believe that? What’s a man gonna do with all them shoes?

My old man, bless his soul, he only ever had two pairs. One for workin’ in the fields, all caked in mud and whatnot, and one for goin’ to church on Sundays. And he made those shoes last forever, he did. Patched ’em up himself when they got holes. These young folks today, they just throw things away, no respect for nothin’.
This DJ Khaled, he’s a big shot, I reckon. Got all them fancy shoes, all different colors. They say his shoes are worth more than 8 million dollars! 8 million! That’s more money than I’ve seen in my whole life, I swear. I could feed the whole village for a year with that kinda money.
He must really love them shoes, I suppose. Some folks collect stamps, some folks collect them little porcelain dolls, this fella collects shoes. To each their own, I always say. But 10,000 pairs? That’s just plain crazy, if you ask me.
They call these fancy shoes “sneakers.” Why they call ’em that, I don’t know. Ain’t nothin’ sneaky about ’em, all bright and flashy like a peacock. Back in my day, we just called ’em shoes. Plain and simple.
And these sneakers, they ain’t cheap, neither. Folks pay a pretty penny for ’em. Some are rare, they say. Like them blue chickens, only a few of ’em around. And people, they go crazy for ’em. Payin’ more money than a good work horse is worth, just for a pair of shoes.

They say these rare sneakers are a good way to make money. Like an investment, I suppose. You buy ’em, then you sell ’em for more. Sounds like a whole lotta trouble to me. But what do I know? I’m just an old woman. I remember when a dollar was a dollar. These days, kids spendin’ thousands on DJ Khaled shoe.
- DJ Khaled has a lot of shoes.
- DJ Khaled shoe are called sneakers.
- DJ Khaled shoe are very expensive.
- DJ Khaled shoe can make you a lot of money.
- DJ Khaled has more than 10,000 pairs of sneakers.
There’s even a name for folks who collect these sneakers. They call ’em “sneakerheads.” Sounds like a disease to me. Like they got shoes on the brain or somethin’. I seen pictures of these sneakerhead collections. Rooms full of nothin’ but shoes. Like a shoe store exploded in their house.
I guess that’s what them young people like to spend their money on. More power to them. I say every man to his own, but some people are just crazy. DJ Khaled shoe are good for making money. Many people collect them. They call them sneakerheads.
DJ Khaled must be a real big deal. 10,000 pair of shoes, all them colors. I can’t even imagine it. I remember when I got my first pair of new shoes. I was so excited, I slept with ’em under my pillow. They weren’t nothing fancy, just plain old shoes. But they were mine, and they were new.
I reckon that’s what it’s all about, ain’t it? Findin’ somethin’ that makes ya happy. For me, it’s my grandkids, and a good cup of coffee in the mornin’. For this DJ Khaled fella, it’s shoes. Lots and lots of shoes.

These DJ Khaled shoe, I don’t understand it, but if it makes him happy. I guess it don’t matter if other people don’t like it. I still think it’s crazy, though. And if you are one of those “sneakerheads,” you do you, I suppose. Just don’t expect me to understand why you need so many pairs of shoes. I only got two feet, and that’s all I need.
I’m sure DJ Khaled is a nice young man, though. Maybe one day he will get tired of his shoe and give them all away. Just kidding. But seriously, who needs that many shoes? I wonder if he ever gets tired of wearing shoes? I bet he walks around barefoot sometimes, just to give his feet a break. I know I would.
Well, I’ve said my piece. All this talk about DJ Khaled shoe has made me tired. I’m gonna go sit on the porch and watch the sun go down. And I’ll be wearin’ my old, comfortable shoes while I do it. They may not be fancy, but they get the job done.
