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

\u201cThe first sneaker to get my FULL attention was the OG Black\/Cement Air Jordan III<\/strong>. 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<\/strong>, and went off from there. Now, I’m a US Navy Firefighter<\/strong> 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\u00a0@Sneakaninjaz<\/a> 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!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collection Starter: <\/strong>OG Nike Air Penny II (1996)<\/h3>\n

\u201cThis shoe was the first pair of “name brand” shoes that I could call my own. These OGs<\/strong> were actually handed down to me three sizes bigger than I wore. I’m not sure if necks were breaking because they were dope or because they looked too big on me, but I really didn’t care. I’m glad there was no social media back then, I would have probably been roasted! (Photo taken in Yokohama, Japan<\/em>)\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Rare Pair: <\/strong>Air Jordan 4 “Cement Flip” Custom<\/h3>\n

“My obvious most rare pair would be the “Cement Flip” Custom 4s<\/strong> made by PKZUNIGA<\/a>. I like these so much that I wore them almost every day for a couple of weeks straight, and they’re still in good condition. The base shoe was the White\/Cement Air Jordan 4. (Photo taken in Minatomirai, Japan<\/em>)\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Frequent Wear: <\/strong>Nike Kobe 8 “Mambacurial” (2013)<\/h3>\n

\u201cEasily my most frequent wear. Beyond comfortable to me, and I couldn’t care less about matching<\/strong> with them. Most definitely one of my recent favorites.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Personal Favorite: <\/strong>Air Jordan 6 “Carmine”<\/h3>\n

\u201cThese are my personal favorite mainly because they were so hard for me to get. I didn’t have the original, and with my luck, when they released again I was always somewhere out of the country where I couldn’t get my hands on them. This was most definitely one of the hardest shoes to obtain for me, and I felt satisfied when I finally got my hands on a pair a few years back for a very good price.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oldest Pair: <\/strong>OG Air Jordan 11 Black\/Red (1995)<\/h3>\n

\u201cPutting the OGs on ‘Ice’.\u201d<\/p>\n
