Collection Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\u201cGrowing up with divorced parents can sometimes come with perks. My Father would always have me laced in fresh kicks, and my Mom\u2019s job was to buy the outfits. My shoe preferences therefore came with my father\u2019s interests, because if he was getting them for himself, I\u2019d have them too; until my feet got to a men\u2019s size, ha! I didn\u2019t get serious into sneakers until around 2007<\/strong>. I think that was my 7th or 8th grade year, and I stumbled upon the Snkrs Day website in my Spanish class. Thanks to Matt and the site, that year my father got me the Air Jordan Retro 1 \u201cOld Love, New Love\u201d Pack<\/strong>, “Aqua” 8s<\/strong> and the “Playoff” 8s<\/strong>. Ever since then, Snkrs Day has been my go-to sneaker source for coverage and releases. My collection started off as mainly retro releases, a few Forces here and there, but since then it\u2019s grown with all the buying, selling and trade market. I cop general releases and limited releases, just whatever I like.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Personal Favorite:<\/strong> Nike Kobe 7 and 8 “What The Kobe”<\/h3>\n\u201cThe “What The Kobe”<\/strong> series break necks so easily. I love rocking them with just about anything, and Kobes have always been comfortable to wear.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Collection Starter: <\/strong>Reebok Pumps<\/h3>\n\u201cMy whole style is heavy influenced by the late ’80s and early ’90s. You can notice my Tupac from \u201cJuice\u201d haircut. With that said, \u201cJuice\u201d is one of all time favorite movies. When I watch those older movies, I take notice of the sneakers. Like in \u201cDo The Right Thing\u201d and \u201cWhite Men Can\u2019t Jump\u201d. If you take notice in the first scenes in \u201cJuice\u201d, Q (Omar Epps) is deciding what to wear, and he goes through both the Reebok Omni Zone Pump<\/strong> and the Reebok Twilight Zone Pump. <\/strong>Right there, I said I have to have them. Not to mention, they were made famous by NBA legends Dee Brown and the \u201cHuman Highlight Film\u201d, Dominique Wilkins.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Most Rare Pair: <\/strong>Nike Air Max 95 Safari “Animal Pack” (2007)<\/h3>\n\u201cOne of my personal grails. It literally took me almost four years to find a pair deadstock, and they came with the OG Nike Arch Supports<\/strong> that Nike used to put in the running shoe boxes. They just take me back to my childhood. I feel like I\u2019m in Jumanji<\/strong> with these on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Oldest Pair: <\/strong>Air Jordan 11 Low “Snakeskin” (2001)<\/h3>\n\u201cI had to be about 8-years-old when they released, and my dad wouldn\u2019t get them. So my freshman year in college, it was amazing when I finally purchased them deadstock with OG everything.\u201d
\n<\/p>\n
Most Frequent Wear: <\/strong>Nike Roshe Run FB “Leopard”<\/h3>\n\u201cI waited patiently for that U.S. release date. Sizes sold quick when they released overseas, and I snagged them perfectly from Nike.com. Probably the most comfortable shoe I\u2019ve ever tried on, and the colors just brighten any room.\u201d<\/p>\n
