I have 12 pairs that I swap out every workout. And out of that, they are pretty much the same brand / style.

6 pairs of hightop, 6 pairs of standard training style shoes.

Yes, I'm OCD.

In my defense, I used to work part-time as a personal trainer and pretty much none of them were bought at retail price.
