From YAHOO NEWS.
Mindset Media, a media company that examines personality traits of different consumers, found that people who buy more than three pairs of sneakers a year are 61 percent more likely to have the qualities of a modern leader. ( Or they are fit, or they are Rappers)
These qualities were defined as having ideas and vision, and a style with others that is both inclusive and decisive. ( Or they have no vision and think sneakers are the end all.)
The survey of 7,500 people, using market research group Nielsen's online panel, found multi-sneaker buyers were 50 percent more likely to be very assertive and 47 percent more likely to be spontaneous. ( uh, because they run everywhere? and were those WOMEN or MEN? )
Lauren Arvonio, a spokeswoman for Mindset Media, said sneaker buyers were more likely to fly by the seat of their pants. ( they need to buy plane tickets, then they would understand SLIP ONS are better than TIE UPS)
"It is often said you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes they wear, and now we have some hard data to back that up," Arvonio told Reuters.
(Dang, I've been saying that for years. Wasn't anyone listening?)

How ridiculous. I'm a runner, but I'm so not a leader.
Very interesting. I am not a sneaker buyer, but my 15 year old twin daughters are and some of these traits listed do sound like my girls. Very interesting!
Have a good evening - nice to see you. Kellan
Ha, me too! I'm fairly certain I could be the scientific evidence they need to DIS-PROVE that theory!
this was fun.
