sneakerhead vs. sneaker enthusiast

Recently, I have been asked to explain the difference between a sneakerhead and a sneaker enthusiast.  By my definition a "sneakerhead" is someone who buys and collects rare shoes.  Sneakerheads will usually buy the same pair of shoes multiple times in order to have a collecting pair as well as a "beatup" pair for everyday wear. A "sneaker enthusiast" is someone who has a great taste in sneakers but does not have an actual collection. They are usually not willing to spend the required amount of money to obtain a pair of shoes when the cost begins to get too high.
