Born and raised in Syracuse, <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/bschunck33#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brendon Schunck<\/a> was inspired by <strong>Carmelo Anthony<\/strong>&#8216;s lone year in New York when he led the Orange to a National Championship. Once he nickle and dimed his way into having enough money to buy a pair of his first <strong>Jordan Melo<\/strong> sneakers, the rush was on and he hasn&#8217;t stopped since. Now, Brendon&#8217;s collection features a wide variety of makes and models from classic <em>Nike Basketball<\/em>, to rare <em>Air Jordans<\/em>. Classic <em>Reebok and Ewing retros<\/em> add a new angle to this growing collection, which seems to still be in its early stages.<\/p>\n<p>Move through the pages to see Brendon&#8217;s entire collection and some of his personal selections, including his <strong>Most Rare Pair <\/strong>and <strong>Oldest Pair<\/strong>.

I was always looking at people&#8217;s feet whenever I would walk into a room. Every day after school when I got home, I would research sneakers online; as far as release dates, colorways, who wore them and when. It was that year that I bought myself my first pair of basketball sneakers. I finally had enough money to buy the Jordan Melo M3 in the Black\/University Blue colorway. I just loved how sleek the shoe looked, and it just caught my eye for some reason. Fast forward to present day, I now have all six original colorways of the Melo M3, as it is one of my favorite shoes of all time. Being from <strong>Syracuse<\/strong>, and that being where Carmelo (Anthony) played his college basketball, it only seems fitting. I collect everything from <em>Jordans, Foamposites, LeBrons, Pennys, Melos, to Griffeys, Reeboks, SB&#8217;s, Uptempos<\/em>, and many others. I like so many different varieties of shoes and what they bring to the table. I have been collecting since 2007, and I haven&#8217;t slowed down since. I buy what I like, whether it be a $60 eBay pickup, or a $200 retro Jordan. \u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Rare Pair:<\/strong>Air Jordan 12 &#8220;Nubuck&#8221; Package (2003)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWith the <a href=\"\/air-jordans\/air-jordan-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Air Jordan 12<\/a> being one of my favorite silhouettes, and also being a fan of the Carolina Blue color scheme, this shoe was a must. I&#8217;ve seen people with the <strong>2009<\/strong> release and even a few with the <strong>2003<\/strong> release. I&#8217;ve hardly ever seen someone with the whole package together, and in their size as well. The sneakers, OG box, retro card, sweatshirt, and hat. This was an online only release back in November of 2003, and was very hard to obtain with all of the servers crashing. I was lucky enough to find the whole package on eBay years later in DS condition for a reasonable price.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Collection Starter:<\/strong>Jordan Melo M3 (2007)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI know some people want their collections to start with a huge hyped up and sought-after shoe like a <a href=\"\/air-jordans\/air-jordan-11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Air Jordan 11<\/a> or South Beach LeBron. Mine started with a simple trip to the mall buying my first shoe with my own money. The <strong>Melo M3<\/strong> is now for sure in my top 3 of all-time, which is probably why I own every colorway that has been released. I mostly wore the Melo M3 on court, as they perform very well and look good at the same time.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Personal Favorite: <\/strong>Air Jordan 12 &#8220;Flu Game&#8221; (2003)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI was so happy when I got these awhile back. I found them on eBay for a steal. You simply can&#8217;t beat the quality from 2003 unless you actually have a pair of OG <a href=\"\/air-jordans\/air-jordan-12\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Air Jordan 12s<\/a>. The leather on these is such good quality, as well as the craftsmanship. I was not a fan of the <strong>2009 &#8220;Flu Game&#8221;<\/strong> release at all, with the nubuck material, sick face, and the 97 and 38. I think the 2003 version looks a lot better and stayed true to the original form. Whenever I wear these, I remember how good Jordan&#8217;s quality used to be.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Oldest Pair:<\/strong>Nike Air Max Penny IV Red\/Black (2001)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m a big fan of the <strong>Penny line<\/strong>, and own at least one colorway in each of the 1-5 series. I found these online less than a year ago, and I had never seen this colorway on a Nike Penny IV before. The price was a little steep, but I couldn&#8217;t pass them up. With the all-red tumbled leather and black suede, you really can&#8217;t go wrong.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Frequent Wear:<\/strong>Air Jordan 10 &#8220;Chicago&#8221; (2012)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cMy most frequent wear was a little tough to think of at first, because <em>I try to wear all of my shoes the same amount of times<\/em>. But I wear my Chicago 10s a good amount. With the black outsole and midsole, as well as the black tongue and laces, they&#8217;re hard to get dirty. I wear them in the rain, or in the snow that we get so often in Syracuse. They&#8217;re an easy shoe to just slip on and not have to worry about messing them up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Post a picture of your collection as a whole on Instagram with the hashtag #communitycollections, or send it to info@snkrsday.com for a chance to be featured on Snkrs Day&#8217; next edition of Community Collections.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Community Collections swings upstate to highlight a completely self-made sneaker stash.
