Collection Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n“I\u2019m a late bloomer. I started collecting sneakers in 2011, while working in a hospital in Singapore. The pink ribbons on the Kay Yow<\/strong> shoes caught my attention, and I bought myself a pair of Nike Hyperdisruptor “Pink Fire”<\/em> that kick-started my fascination with pink shoes, and especially with Kay Yows. At first, collecting pinks was very easy because sneakerheads were passing on them. Originally there was no hassle buying online, but now the pink sneaker game is alive and kicking because the day of stereotyping pinks are over. In my field of work, I have this undying affinity with cancer patients, and I\u2019ll be rocking Pinks\/Kay Yows as my sign of support<\/strong>. After my stint in Singapore, I went back home to Manila with my collection that was 16 pairs at the time, and a few months after I went and migrated my 22 pairs of pinks with me here in Canada.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Personal Favorite:<\/strong> Nike Air Foamposite One “Pink”<\/h3>\n\u201cMoney well spent. These bad boys are my go-to shoe. From hooping to weddings, these pinks are a head turner and my go-to shoe. Shout out to my brother Allen Sumugat for ripping me off so that I could have this pair of pinks.” \n<\/p>\n
Kickstarter:<\/strong> Nike Zoom Hyperdisruptor “Pink Fire” PE<\/h3>\n“This pair’s solid pink color gave me a pink eye, and from then on I\u2019ve been suffering with this pink eye syndrome, and I\u2019m not looking for a cure. Ha!”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most Rare Pair:<\/strong> Nike Zoom Kobe V & VI “Kay Yow”<\/h3>\n“I went through a lot of trouble getting these, which to me are the Holy Grail of pinks. A three-hour Manila traffic jam, an almost empty gas tank, and an unhappy reseller since I was late, but luckily I still managed to grab these pairs of pinks. For that, I felt like I won the Kay Yow lottery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oldest Pair:<\/strong> Nike Hyperdunk 2011 “Think Pink”<\/h3>\n“I got lucky with these Hyperdunk 11s. These are a must-have if you\u2019re very serious about collecting Kay Yows.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most Frequent Wear:<\/strong> Nike KD VI “Aunt Pearl”<\/h3>\n“These are my everyday shoe. You can\u2019t go wrong with this pair, jeans or shorts! If you\u2019re a sneakerhead, you know that you got game with these bad boys.”<\/p>\n
