Community Collections<\/a> is\u00a0taken over this week by a sneaker lover who just recently started collecting. Jermaine Perkins<\/a> has been into shoes for over 25 years<\/strong>, but never had the ability to truly collect. Sparked by a new opportunity and the first $200 Air Jordans<\/strong>, this enthusiast from Baltimore started compiling a full stash of sneakers. You have to respect those who enter the game at a later stage out of pure passion, and now starting to gain some steam, Perkins doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Browse through the pages to check out Jermaine’s collection and some of his personal picks, including his Oldest Pair<\/em>. Drop a line in the comment box with your feedback, and keep Snkrs Day<\/strong> bookmarked for everything sneakers.<\/p>\n

Profile:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Name:<\/strong> Jermaine Perkins
\nCity:<\/strong> Baltimore, MD
\nInstagram:<\/strong> @jerm781<\/a>
\nStarted:<\/strong> 2002<\/p>\n

Collection Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“My infatuation with my shoes goes back as early as my childhood, more than 25 years<\/strong> ago. I vividly remember my Mom buying me some Patrick Ewings<\/strong> for my birthday one year. When I got my first job, I was able to start really buying the shoes I wanted; mostly Air Max<\/strong>. I also remember buying the Reebok Questions<\/strong> in about four or five different colorways. As years passed, my collection consisted primarily of Jordans<\/strong>. It wasn’t until this year (2013) that my “collecting” took on a whole new meaning. Nothing special about my collection. No brand loyalty or trend seeking with me. I do seem to gravitate to Jordans and Lebrons<\/strong>, but if I like the shoe I’ll buy it. Because my collection is in its infancy, I don’t really have any rare shoes. I hope one day that will change! Rock what you like!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collection Starter:<\/strong>Air Jordan 17 (2002)<\/h3>\n

“The 17s<\/strong> are the ones that started it all. The $200 price tag made them exclusive and really sparked my interest to start actually collecting.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oldest Pair:<\/strong>Air Jordan 11 “Concord” (2000)<\/h3>\n

“Since my collection is in its infancy, I don’t have too many pairs of old shoes. Hopefully that will change soon, but for now my oldest pair is the 2000 retro of the “Concords”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Personal Favorite:<\/strong>Air Jordan 13 “Flint” (2010)<\/h3>\n

“My favorites are the 13s<\/strong>. The navy and white combination is so clean, and the hologram sets them apart.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Frequent Wear:<\/strong>Air Jordan 9 (2002)<\/h3>\n

“I wear my 2002 Jordan 9s<\/strong> the most. The simple black and white colorway makes these go with anything.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Rare Pair:<\/strong>Nike Air Force Max 20130 “Area 72” (2012)<\/h3>\n

“These aren’t really rare, and not my rarest pair, but they were the hardest for me to get. When they first released they were hard to get my hands on.”<\/p>\n
