Originally hooked on a pair of <strong>&#8220;Canvas&#8221; Nike Air Force 1s<\/strong>, now his stash has expanded to include many different departments, from basketball models to SBs. Even though his stock is already impressive, Gonzalez insists that his sneaker story is far from over.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll and click your way through the pages to see Schristian&#8217;s entire collection and some of his personal selections, including his <strong>Most Rare Pair <\/strong>and <strong>Oldest Pair<\/strong>.

I guess you could say that I was a simple kid. I had some Jordans here and there, but it wasn&#8217;t until <strong>2003<\/strong> when my brother came home one day with a pair of black and white canvas <a href=\"\/tag\/nike-air-force-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Air Force 1s<\/a> he had bought for me that I got really into sneakers. I was definitely blown away with the materials used. I wore them very carefully, and cleaned them after every wear. 11 years later, that love of sneakers just grew. Being from <strong>San Francisco<\/strong>, I have experienced the hardships of harsh camp outs, scammers, stores being sold out, and of course the headaches of researching all day for where I can find the next shoe. My collection has a little of everything. From <strong>Nike SBs<\/strong>, to <strong>Jordan classics<\/strong>, and of course <strong>Nike classic<\/strong> models. The sneaker community has grown tremendously these past years and it&#8217;s getting harder to obtain certain shoes. My only advice to the new sneaker generation is to not believe the hype, and cop what you like. I&#8217;ve told many before that every sneaker in my collection tells a story, and mine is far from over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Rare Pair: <\/strong>Nike Air Yeezy &#8220;Zen Grey&#8221; (2009)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cEven though I see many people with Yeezys, I believe that they would be the rarest shoe I own. The materials used on this shoe outdid many of the releases that were brought out during that year. Of course I do own many Quickstrike Forces that many don&#8217;t own, like the &#8220;Stash&#8221; AF1, &#8220;Easter&#8221; AF1, and Nike AF1 &#8220;Cocoa&#8221;, etc. The <strong>Nike Air Yeezy<\/strong> has its own special spot in my collection that just surpasses certain shoes, because of the way I obtained them.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Frequent Wear:<\/strong>Nike SB Air Trainer 1 &#8220;Gold Digger&#8221; (2005)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWhy not have a rare shoe as a beater? The <strong>Nike SB Trainer 1 &#8220;Gold Diggers&#8221;<\/strong> are definitely an eye grabber in my city. Benny Gold outdid himself with this shoe concept. The distressed leather on these gives them a unique look, and they are without a doubt very comfortable.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Personal Favorite: <\/strong>Nike SB Dunk Low &#8220;Tiffany&#8221; (2005)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cNo questions asked, the <strong>Nike SB Dunk Low &#8220;Tiffanys&#8221;<\/strong> are my personal favorite. This was a time when Nike SB was at its prime. It never fails that when I wear them, people often compliment them or offer to buy them off my feet. I can honestly say I was very fortunate to obtain these and will always be grateful for having them in my collection.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Oldest Pair: <\/strong>Nike Air Pippen 1 (1997)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThis shoe was given to me from one of my closest friends that retired from the game. As you can tell, it had a great life. Many people keep their shoes in boxes and they never see the light of day. Eventually everything comes to an end, so make sure you wear your kicks.\u201d<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Collection Starter: <\/strong>Nike Air Force 1 Mid &#8220;Canvas&#8221; (2003)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThis simple <strong>Nike Air force 1<\/strong> was the starter to my collection. When I first held it in my hand, I knew that there was something unique with this shoe. It wasn&#8217;t a limited style, nor was it a shoe that was thought to sell out as soon as stores opened. I loved it because the materials used (canvas) was something I have never seen on a shoe before. From then on, I began to look for shoes that had the extra quality that made them stand out.\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 hikes back to the Left Coast to feature a California sneaker enthusiast who has a little bit of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4655,"featured_media":358022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1207912,1215390,618],"tags":[1225861,1215671,1215586],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Community Collections: Schristian Gonzalez | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Community Collections: Schristian Gonzalez shoes.
