Penick<br \/>\n<strong>City:<\/strong> Oakland\/Los Angeles, CA<br \/>\n<strong>Instagram:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/Retropen23#\" target=\"_blank\">@Retropen23<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 8.5-9.5<br \/>\n<strong>Started:<\/strong> 2000<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Collection Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cMy collection has a variety of shoes in it. I don\u2019t have a theme, except that <strong>98% of my shoes are Nikes<\/strong>. I have <em>Jordans, KDs, LeBrons, Kobes, Vans, Reeboks, Supras, Air Maxes, Air Force 1s<\/em> and the list goes on. I started wearing Jordans in <strong>1997<\/strong>, and I started buying Jordans with my own money in <strong>2000<\/strong>. Back then, I only had to miss first period to get my Jordans. Now, depending on the shoe, it might take a few days. Ha! My problem is that I like and want too much. In my opinion, you can never have enough shoes. I must admit that loving shoes the way I do is very expensive, but well worth it. Most people don\u2019t know all of the things that sneaker heads like myself have to go through in order to get certain shoes. Since I\u2019m on the West Coast, I have to wake up at <strong>4:45 a.m.<\/strong> to try to get a shoe on multiple sneaker websites on Saturdays. Or, I might have to camp out a day or three in order to secure my pair. It can be very emotional when you do or don\u2019t get a shoe you have been after, but at the end of the day it&#8217;s all worth it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Frequent Wear: <\/strong>Air Jordan 1 &#8220;Banned&#8221; (2011)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI have a bad habit in wearing the same shoes all the time. I wear the <strong>Air Jordan 1 &#8220;Banned&#8221;<\/strong> the most because they are extremely comfortable, and red and black are some of the more recent colors that I tend to wear. Every time I put them on, I\u2019m wearing a piece of history. I\u2019ve never cleaned this shoe since I bought them. I feel they look better that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Personal Favorite: <\/strong>Nike LeBron VIII &#8220;South Beach&#8221; (2010)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Nike LeBron 8 &#8220;South Beach&#8221;<\/strong>. I fell in love the second I saw the sneak peak pictures. I think this colorway revolutionized the way Nike made decisions on future releases. I\u2019ve never seen anything like it. Every time I put these on, I feel like the whole world is watching. My only regret is that I wasn\u2019t able to get two pairs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Rare Pair: <\/strong>Air Jordan 5 Tokyo23 (2011)<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;At the moment I don\u2019t have any sample Jordans, so I must say my <strong>Air Jordan 5 T23s<\/strong> are my rarest. This shoe only released in Japan, right after a big tsunami hit and caused a lot of damage. Most people that weren\u2019t native to the country fled, while others moved on and tried to rebuild. I have to say this is a very recognizable shoe. One that I am very proud to own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Oldest Pair: <\/strong>Air Jordan 3 &#8220;True Blue&#8221; (2001)<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cAt the moment, my 2001 Euro-release Air Jordan 3 True Blues are the eldest in my collection. I\u2019ve had many older pairs, but didn\u2019t preserve them the way I should have. I did just about everything in my OG Jordans. From school to church, and everything in-between; I\u2019ve worn my Jordans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Collection Starter: <\/strong>Air Jordan 12 &#8220;Playoffs&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe OG <strong>Air Jordan 12 &#8220;Playoffs&#8221;<\/strong> came out right before my birthday when I was in 7th or 8th grade. I was a heavy Jordan fan back then, like I am today. Coming from a not so fortunate family, as well as having other brothers and sisters, I told my mother that I didn\u2019t want a party or cake for my birthday. I only wanted the Playoffs. After that, I used that technique on most, if not all, holidays to get the latest Jordan drop at that period.\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 takes a trip to the left coast to feature a well-known sneaker enthusiast from Oakland.
