What got me into sneakers were the people around me and my environment. The different type of sneakers everyone wore on a day-to-day basis. I remember growing up wanting to be able to have varieties of sneakers to wear on different days of the week and not being able to afford it. I started collecting sneakers when i was in 6th grade but to take it back a bit ,a year before I started collecting I was gifted a pair of “ Pharrell Williams bbc ice cream x board flips 2” by my father and I was stoked to wear those as it first started as my “statement shoe” then turned into a beater.
Okay so this would be a two part answer just because it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t mention it, so I remember my first pair of shoes I was able to go pick myself and purchase it with my parents they were the “ Nike air Griffey Max 1 “ in the varsity blue colorway I was excited when I got it in hand BUT My 2nd shoe and the shoe that got me hooked to sneakers and got me collecting were the Nike foamposite pro “ pearl” wore that shoe almost everyday for a year until I destroyed the outsole
I wouldn’t say my collection is so unique as it is a part of my livelihood experiences, all the shoes I’ve been able to curate throughout the years are shoes that I’ve either seen people on tv wearing like artists and athletes to my local everyday people I see in my surroundings.
I’ll choose history over hype even tho in my opinion they both go hand in hand in a sense. My reason being cause without the history of an iconic/classic shoe designers like Virgil, kanye west and the rest wouldn’t be able to create what they have in the past.
My grail sneaker I am fortunate enough to have in my collection, it took me some time to get it But i got them and they are the Nike air Yeezy 2 platinums of course I’m still on a mission to complete the packs of both Air yeezy 1s and 2s i have 3 out of the 6 as of now.
The best sneaker to release in 2020 in my opinion it’s a toss up between the Joe Fresh Goods New Balance 992 or the Off white Jordan 5 which I was able to go to Chicago and see them in hand.
