Collection Summary:

“The first sneaker to get my FULL attention was the OG Black/Cement Air Jordan III. I had never seen anything like it, and of course because there was no Internet that I knew of back then, I couldn’t go search for it later. I actually had to depend on that person wearing them again. It was almost a year before I saw them again, and even then I had no idea what they were until years later. My family was not into name-brand clothing and shoes, so yes I was a Payless guy (not by choice). It wasn’t until my early teens where I was able to get my own by cutting grass and washing cars. I started with Pennys, and went off from there. Now, I’m a US Navy Firefighter living in Japan and loving it. I always try to help others get the pairs that they want when I have the time, but I think these days people don’t appreciate the things they are able to obtain, and I hope this sneaker life takes a sharp turn back in the right direction. I started @Sneakaninjaz in Oahu, Hawaii and took it over to Japan. I have always been about positivity and helping people out. This is not quite the entire collection. This is what the wife lets me keep in the house without it getting too sloppy. The rest are stored away neatly elsewhere. And yes, I pretty much wear everything. Thanks!”
