Maybe buying one or two pairs of Nikes on clearance at the beginning of a school year, Jordans and other more expensive shoes were definitely out of the question. It wasn\u2019t really until my foot stopped growing that I ever even debated spending money on nicer sneakers. After seeing my cousin wearing a pair of Jordans, and my friend Josh telling me to camp outside with him for the Concords, collecting actually became more serious. Being a &#8217;90s baby, collecting stuff like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards was basically second nature, and I tend to make a habit of stocking up on a collection once I start. Now that I\u2019ve been into sneakers for a couple years and going off to college soon, I\u2019ve taken a bit of a step back to focus more on school and photography. I\u2019ll get back into it soon once I get a steadier job, but for now check out my collection and growing passion for photography!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Collection Starter: <\/strong>Air Jordan 11 &#8220;Concord&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cConcords. One of the most hyped sneakers to ever release? I would agree, and of course it\u2019s the one shoe that my friend managed talking me into buying. Being the first time really having to study up on Jordans, I soon came to a conclusion that I wouldn\u2019t mind learning more about them and buying more in the future. Waiting outside 12+ hours for the first time was a pretty eye-opening experience, and to this day Josh still reminds me how he helped to kick the collecting off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Oldest Pair: <\/strong>Air Jordan 13 &#8220;Wheat&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cObviously not bought back in 2004 while I was still eight, I was able to grab these not too long ago. I do like XIIIs but they\u2019re definitely not one of my top Jordan models. I pretty much only like the XIIIs because of this colorway, which is why when they popped up locally my size, I bought immediately!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Rare Pair: <\/strong>Nike LeBron 9 &#8220;China&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Although I\u2019ve sadly sold some of my rarer pairs, I would consider this to be my \u201cpersonal\u201d rarest. From when I first started collecting, China LeBron 9s were always a pair I had on my list of must-haves. In one week, I was able to not only hunt down this deadstock pair that are slowly becoming increasingly uncommon, but also a second pair that I can wear to beat around!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Most Frequent Wear: <\/strong>Air Jordan 4 Black\/Red<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cClassic pretty much sums it up. The IV\u2019s design in general is dope in that regard, but with an all-black nubuck upper with hints of red and cement grey, this shoe has no faults. Considering you can pull them off with most fits, the amounts of wears that I have put into them still have people asking me if they\u2019re brand new. \u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Personal Favorite: <\/strong>Diamond Supply Co. x Nike SB Dunk High<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cPassing on buying the lows a couple months back and after hearing that they planned to release a high version of the Tiffany SBs, I knew I had to get a pair. Owning a variety of SBs in the past, the hypebeast within started to flare out a bit, along with the rest of the sneaker community. Although I wanted them, I frankly couldn\u2019t bring myself to camping outside for over two days in the brisk February weather in Rhode Island. Those who waited got their pairs and I settled for Nike.com, where I struck out once more. Luckily with the help from my best friend getting two pairs online and selling one to my girl so she could give them to me as a gift, I was able to get them for virtually nothing. Between the colorway and the story, I definitely classify these my personal favorite!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Post a picture of yourcollection 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>Showing a little love to the up-and-comers, Community Collections spotlights a brand new collector from Rhode Island.
