Collection Starter: Air Jordan 14 Low “Laney” (1998)
“The “Laney” 14 is the shoe that really solidified my love for collecting and sneaker design. I can say it truly started me on the continuous path of collecting on a bigger scale based on design influences. The materials and details on the “Laney” 14 were just unreal to me when I first saw it. The royal blue suede, Ferrari-inspired Jumpman decal logo and use of rubber and mesh car influences was just impeccable to me. From then on, every shoe I looked for had to live up to that standard of footwear production.”
