Sneaker Story:<\/strong><\/h3>\n“In my middle school days I started getting into flashy kicks, but didn\u2019t have much of an idea of the big name brands or models. I started doing some research and the Air Jordan XIXs<\/strong> dropped when I was heading into high school. I had to choose one color since a 14-year-old could only save up so much money for shoes. I went with the Black\/Red pair, and there started my collection. Throughout high school I was mainly into Jordans, but that has since transitioned into a collection dominated by Kobes. I was always a Lakers fan growing up, and it finally took over my shoe buying, starting with the Zoom Kobe IVs<\/strong>. I missed the first few colorways of the IVs and have been playing catch up on those and the first 3 models. I\u2019ve managed to get almost everything I wanted from the Vs up until now, of course with a little help from good people and some early mornings at the mall. I\u2019ll continue with the Kobe line as far as it goes, and always looking for older Kobes in size 10.5-11!”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Personal Favorite:<\/strong> Nike Kobe IV “Chaos\/Joker”<\/h3>\n“The “Chaos\/Joker” Kobe IVs were a pair I missed out on when they originally released. Wasn\u2019t sure I was going to be able to find them for a decent price. Just fairly recently did I run across a pair locally that I was able to trade for.”

Kickstarter:<\/strong> Air Jordan XIX<\/h3>\n“The Jordan XIX was like nothing I\u2019d ever seen before, I just had to get a pair. I destroyed the OG pair I bought, so had to get this “CDP” pair when they dropped to get a fresh pair.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most Rare Pair:<\/strong> Nike Kobe VI “Grinch”<\/h3>\n“Probably one of the most sought-after and hyped up Kobes ever. I had to have the grinches when they came out, even before the hype skyrocketed on them. I remember getting up at 3 a.m. while on vacation in California for Christmas to line up at the Lakewood House of Hoops to get my hands on them.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oldest Pair:<\/strong> OG Air Jordan 12 Collection<\/h3>\n“My complete collection of OG Jordan XIIs are probably my most prized Jordans. I love this shoe and made it a mission to get every colorway. It took a few years but I finally managed to track down each one.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most Frequent Wear:<\/strong> Nike Kobe 9 Elite Lows<\/h3>\n“I know they just started coming out, but I can\u2019t stop wearing the Kobe 9 Elite Lows. I was lucky enough to get a pair of the “Multicolor” IDs when they were first posted and might have to get every color that drops.”<\/p>\n
