Have you or do you have a pair of sneakers you can’t give up on and no matter how bad they look or worn out they become you do whatever you can to restore and preserve them?  If you don’t then you’re missing out because there isn’t any better feeling than attachment when it comes to a comfy pair of sneakers.  Depending on how far you take your sneakers they could be worth a bunch of dough, but that’s only if yours are the nastiest.

Each year the fine folks at Oder Eaters award  one lucky kid $2,500 for having the most trashed and thrashed sneakers. This year, thirteen-year-old Katharine Tuck’s 1 1/2 year old Nike’s out stank the competition and took top honors at the 36th edition of the Odor-Eaters Rotten Sneaker Contest.
