words & interview \/\/ Pierce Simpson:<\/span><\/p>\n

For NFL novices, Brandon Gibson<\/strong> may not be a well-known name. For NFL purists across the country however, Brandon Gibson is a well-known commodity that will surely become Tom Brady’s newest third-down threat as he takes his talents from South Florida to Foxboro.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 27-year old wide receiver hails from the Seattle-area and fuses a unique blend of size and skills, making him one of the more productive players within the NFL. However, it’s Gibson sneaker collection that has caught our eye as his stellar array of Air Jordan staples and coveted Nike basketball models undoubtedly place him amongst the elite of sneaker connoisseurs. Gibson is also no stranger to bringing that style to the field as he has been showcased numerous times on the Snkrs Day original series Gridiron Kick<\/em>s<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With that in mind, we recently caught up with Brandon as he provided us his My 5<\/em><\/strong> that features a variety of intriguing silhouettes, and arguably may be one of our best interviews to date. To see for yourself, flip through the pages below to see the Patriots wideout’s array of kicks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Air Jordan 3 Black\/Cement<\/h2>\n

Brandon Gibson:<\/strong> “My first model would have the be the Air Jordan 3 and specifically the black and cement pair, simply because it’s a model that I consistently wear. Whether I’m just running around or going out with friends, I always tend to lean towards that pair.”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Air Jordan 1<\/h2>\n

Brandon Gibson:<\/strong> “The Air Jordan 1 is probably my most worn shoe out of all of the shoes that I have. I have a variety of different colors but the\u00a0Air Jordan 1\u00a0is something that I probably\u00a0wear every other day.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“As of now, my favorite would to be the black and red, for sure. I have about four pairs of them, just to make sure that if I wear one of them into the ground I’ll have another pair as a backup. ”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

adidas Pure Boost<\/h2>\n

Brandon Gibson:<\/strong> “I wear the Pure Boost quite a bit. I have a camoflague pair, I have a black pair, I have a Y-3 pair and a World Cup pair. You know, that shoe is crazy. Crazy comfortable and a really underrated shoe, in my opinion.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“One of my buddies started working at Y-3 and he kind of turned me onto them, to be honest. I’ve always liked adidas, especially in high school because we rocked the Pro Models and in fact one of my AAU teams was sponsored by adidas. So, I just feel like they’re making really good shoes. ”
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Playstation x Nike Zoom Trainer Huarache Low<\/h2>\n

Brandon Gibson:<\/strong> “I workout a lot in a Huarache Low, specifically the older collab that Nike did with Playstation. I believe Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins was the guy featured on it. However, I tried to hunt that shoe down for a long time and I luckily found it on eBay and picked up a couple of pairs.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saint Laurent SL\/10H Classic Court Sneakers<\/h2>\n

Brandon Gibson:<\/strong> “I like the Saint Laurent sneakers, I have about four or five pairs of them. They’re similar to the Jordan 1s, especially the Bred AJ 1s and the Black and Royal 1s as well. However, they just have a different look and a different feel to them.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What Makes Seattle Such a Hotbed for Sneakerheads?<\/h2>\n

Brandon Gibson:<\/strong> “I think the fact that geographically we’re so close to Oregon and the culture here is so Nike-driven. [That] and with Gary Payton arriving on the scene, having dope kicks was kind of what you did<\/em>. It’s funny that you can go to a lot of different\u00a0places and people aren’t really into sneakers. However, here it’s a constant thing and\u00a0I’m pretty sure with basketball being so big here, everyone is into shoes.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What Are Your Thoughts on the Sneaker Culture?<\/h2>\n

Brandon Gibson:<\/strong> “To be honest, it’s really hard to find shoes now-a-days. Guys that really want a shoe that re-releases may wait on it for like four or five years and then they can’t get their hands on it because re-sellers get their hands on it first.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Also, social media has taken over the landscape of sneakers as well, with the usage of bots and things of that nature. On one hand it’s pretty cool to see how big the culture has grown, but the way it has grown is actually kind of flawed. Hopefully one day it will return to the way it used to be. With people\u00a0getting shot and killed over sneakers, that’s just a shame because honestly, they’re just sneakers.”<\/span><\/p>\n
