The sneaker collection of every woman's dreams: Meet the uber stylish 24-year-old with a running shoe closet worth more than $58,500 - but she's never shown her face

An up-and-coming Danish Instagram star owns what is arguably the coolest collection of sneakers on earth, but despite posting daily pictures of her remarkable wardrobe, she's never shown her face on social media.
Sally Javadi, an Iranian-born psychology graduate who lives in eastern Denmark, has a closet stacked from floor to ceiling with over 150 pairs of unique, colourful sneakers, collectively worth more than $58,500 (AUD).
Ms Javadi, 24, shares photos of her vibrant treasure trove on Instagram, and despite creating her account just one year ago, already boasts over 96,000 followers who are keen to keep up with her ever expanding collection.
'I've always had two sides of who I am, my sneaker obsession and my university psychology world. It's very contradictory, and that's why I haven't gone public with my face - it's sort of my brand now,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

Sally's passion for quirky footwear runs deep.
She recently queued outside a store for five hours to get a sneaker in a specific colour, bringing her mother and sister along as company, but usually sources edgy pieces on US-based resale sites and consignment stores.
Her most expensive are a pair of brown, white and baby pink Travis Scott x Jordan 1s, a collaboration between the Texan rap superstar and footwear giant Nike which cost almost $3,000 (AUD).

Her favourite shoes are a colourfully mismatched pair of Nike Jordans, created by Iranian-American designer Melody Ehsani as a political statement against female oppression.
One shoe is orange, pink and red against a white background, while the other is green, blue and turquoise.
Both are adorned with a gold watch laced into the front panel and graffiti-style script which reads: 'If you knew what you had was rare, you would never waste it.'

Although she owns a vast selection of sought-after pieces few collectors dare to dream of, Sally doesn't discriminate against simple classics.
'I love a simple pair of Nike Air Forces - they're my ultimate go-to sneakers,' she said of the globally popular all-white style, which cost roughly $150 (AUD).
Adidas Yung-1s - a modern take on chunky '90s sneakers - and Nike P-6000s - inspired by the divisive 'Dadcore' trend- are her other fail safe shoes, both of which retail at $150 (AUD).
'A classic can be just as good as a more expensive pair. It's not about the cost,' she said. oa here

Optical illusion Louis Vuitton trainers spark fierce debate over whether they are white or black - but what colour do YOU see?

It is the question that divided the internet: is the dress white and gold, or blue and black? But now there's a new optical illusion baffling social media users across the nation.    
Gino, believed to be from the UK, shared a photo of a pair of Louis Vuitton trainers to Twitter and penned: 'Twitter are these white or black because all I see is white?' 
The controversial image, which has since gone viral and sparked a fierce online debate, has split social media users in two, with many arguing over what colour they see. 
'I don't know how anyone is seeing anything other than black,' wrote one, while a second penned: 'White is the only right answer.'

A third added: 'I could only see black and couldn't figure out how they were possibly white, but now I see white and I can't see black anymore wtf.'
And some took to the comments section to suggest the possible reasons people may be seeing different colours. 
'White shoes, with glow in the dark pattern. Picture taken with the lights off,' commented one, while a second penned: 'They’re white in a dark room.'
A third agreed: 'They're just white trainers in the dark. I don't get why people are confused,' while a further commented: They're white. Just no light.' 
Meanwhile, others suggested the way in which social media users see the colour of the trainers depends on the brightness of their phones.
'I reckon they're white but the brightness is turned down and the Louis Vuitton pattern is tricking your eyes. But at first glance I saw black,' admitted one, while a second agreed: 'Just change the brightness and you can tell they’re white.'

A third commented: 'Depends how high my brightness is turned up on my phone. I usually have it quite dark so I see black, if I turn my brightness up to full then I can just about make it as a dirty white.' 
Despite several theories floating around, those who could see the shoes as black remained adamant of their opinion. 
'Black with white patterns,' wrote one, while a second penned: 'Fully black for me with White LV logo.'     
The debate is reminiscent of the two-toned frock debate, which saw users taking to social media to argue over what colours they could see - white and gold or blue and black.
The picture of the dress was first posted on Tumblr by Caitlin McNeill, a 21-year-old aspiring singer from Scotland, after noticing her friends saw different colours in the photograph.
The image became an online sensation, with posts arguing over the dress's original colours. Even celebrities weighed in on the fashion debate, with Kim Kardashian asking her 29.4million Twitter followers to help settle a disagreement between herself and husband Kanye West. 




Others argued the trainers are clearly white, but the picture has just been taken with the light off (pictured)
