Profile:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Name:<\/strong> Ennis Monroe
\nInstagram:<\/strong> @em44o<\/a>
\nCity:<\/strong> Detroit, MI
\nStarted:<\/strong> 1998
\nSize:<\/strong> 13<\/p>\n

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

“My love for sneakers began as a kid growing up in the late ’80s. My passion grew as I became influenced by hip-hop, sitcoms and sports. Growing up, my parents couldn’t afford the lastest and greatest, although my mom did sacrifice a lot to make sure I had a few jewels from that era. With that being said, my sneaker journey began by picking up kicks that may have been out of my price range as a youngster. Nike is my weapon of choice. I love rocking joints from the golden era of Air (1988-96). I enjoy a lot of the new stuff, advanced technology and all, but I LOVE THE CLASSICS!<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kickstarter:<\/strong> Air Jordan 7 “Raptor”<\/h3>\n

“I think a lot of “Sneakerheads” in their 30s share a similar story of how we wish we would have held onto some of the “OG” glory we owned in the 1990s, but this is one I’ve held onto for a while (12 years to be exact). I wore these is my college days.”
\n<\/p>\n

Personal Favorite:<\/strong> Nike Air Flight Lite<\/h3>\n

“Back in 1991 as a kid, I walked in St. Cecilia Gym in Detroit and saw Steve Smith balling in these. When they got a retro in 2007, my dream finally came true of owning this shoe.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Rare Pair:<\/strong> Air Jordan 11 “Columbia” (2001)<\/h3>\n

“If God wore kicks, it would be this model. One of the greatest shoes ever laced. I have so many memories infused in this grail of mine!”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oldest Pair:<\/strong> Nike Air Force 1 Hi (1998)<\/h3>\n

“I got these my junior year at Mumford High School. I use to rock these hard, they bring back so many good memories. Every time I look at them, I reminisce about the good ole’ days.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Frequent Wear:<\/strong> Air Jordan 3 Black\/Cement<\/h3>\n

“One of the most iconic shoes ever made, in my humble opinion. They take me back to my childhood, back when MJ was at the height of his superpowers.”<\/p>\n
