A survey of 7,500 has 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. Additionally multi-sneaker buyers were 50 percent more likely to be very assertive and 47 percent more likely to be spontaneous. You heard it, be a leader, go out and buy those $185 Air Jordan XX3 and a pair of original Adidas Superstar II’s. It’s for your career, stupid! And you’ve been wondering why you never get anywhere!

Got a passion for buying sneakers? It could be a good sign, with a poll finding that people who buy three pairs of sneakers or more a year are far more likely to be a leadership type than other people. 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. These qualities were defined as having ideas and vision, and a style with others that is both inclusive and decisive. Lauren Arvonio, a spokeswoman for Mindset Media, said sneaker buyers were more likely to fly by the seat of their pants. "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. "What is interesting is that these personality traits held true across the board, regardless of age, income, or gender." (news.yahoo)
