Sneaker Story:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cMy love for sneakers stemmed from the pure artistry and design aspect involved with producing them to end product. As early as grade school, I was obsessed with sneakers and the different designs of the time. L.A. Gears<\/strong> and British Knights<\/strong> were always adding different elements to shoes that made me want to be a part of the culture. By the time I hit junior high school, I was at the point of no return. If I didn\u2019t have the money to buy the shoes I liked, I would spend all of my time drawing them and adding my own details to the concepts. One of my uncles was a major collector at the time. Every so often when he would come to visit, he would drop off a pair of Jordans he thought I might like. I officially started collecting as a freshman in high school (1998<\/strong>), when I was able to start buying my own sneakers. There has never been a real theme to my collection, other than buying what I like and what looks good to me. I was never really a Jordan purist, or even Nike. If the shoe looked good, and I could find it in my size at a decent price, it was as good as purchased. One of the best things I enjoy about sneaker collecting and the community is seeing the diversity in people\u2019s collections<\/em> and hearing the different stories attached to the shoes, or the memories they have with them.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Rare Pair: WMNS Jordan (1998)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“My most rare pair is oddly a women\u2019s shoe: The ’98 Women\u2019s Air Jordan<\/strong>, often believed to be the “Sheryl Swoopes.”<\/strong> The shoe took some cues from the Air Jordan 13, but the sole and heel accents really made this shoe unique for me. The fact that it was only made in a total of three colors (that I\u2019m aware of), and it was the first and only women\u2019s Jordan shoe and was only produced for one year, I can easily say this is the rarest pair in my collection.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collection Starter: Air Jordan 14 Low “Laney” (1998)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“The “Laney” 14<\/strong> is the shoe that really solidified my love for collecting and sneaker design. I can say it truly started me on the continuous path of collecting on a bigger scale based on design influences. The materials and details on the “Laney” 14 were just unreal to me when I first saw it. The royal blue suede, Ferrari-inspired Jumpman decal logo and use of rubber and mesh car influences was just impeccable to me. From then on, every shoe I looked for had to live up to that standard of footwear production.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Personal Favorite: Nike Roshe Run “Dirty Pigeon” Custom<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“My current favorite at the moment is a \u201cDirty Pigeon Roshe\u201d Custom<\/strong> I made a few months ago. I\u2019m a huge fan of the Nike Roshe Run. The lightweight feel and comfort is awesome to me. I\u2019m also a huge Staple Design fan. The idea to put the two together came out of pure boredom, and just looking to spice up the current black and white design. I didn\u2019t want the shoe to be too spot-on the Staple colors, so I decided to use darker hues and make the design look \u201cDirty.” The color elements were still there along with the Pigeon color-blocking, just not exact. The icing on the cake was the Pigeon logo patches from HerbJuice (@herbjuice<\/a>), and the interchangeable grey and white laces.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oldest Pair: Jordan Jumpman Pro II (1998)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“The oldest pair I currently have are my ’98 Eddie Jones Jumpman Pro IIs<\/strong>. I originally had these when they released back in ’98. during what I consider the golden era of the Jumpman and Team Jordan releases. Over time, they just naturally deteriorated due to wear and the elements. I was recently able to find a deadstock pair in pristine condition. The detail and leather quality was unmatched to me, making it a timeless design.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Frequent Wear: Nike Air Flight One Black\/White<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“The Nike Air Flight One<\/strong> is just one of those shoes that\u2019s so underrated, but perfect in every way, you can\u2019t help but wear it daily. Its clean, great design curves and lines, all while being amazingly comfortable. Michael Jordan himself wore it (minus the one tab), so you know that the approval rating was high.”<\/p>\n
