I think there is a whole scene of street fashion which is basically this, but applied to hats, hoodies, and other garments. Folks like their beautiful (to them) objects and they like to share that with their friends. I don't think there's any deep answer to the question of why sneakers. The high value may stem to some extent from limited production but it also arises because there's a willing market.
