Sneaker Story:
“I’ve been collecting off and on since I was a teenager in the late 90s. I started to really get back into it about four years ago, and haven’t looked back since. Back in my college days, it was all about Jordans and Air Maxes, but now my focus is geared to late model LeBrons PEs and other Nike Basketball products. I am still on the hunt for some older models, but keep my hopes up to come across them one day. The LeBron X model is by far my favorite to hoop in. I also like to collect the NBA All-Star themed shoes, and the Christmas Collections. The only Jordans that I collect now are very specific, with Jordan 4s,11s,13s or Doernbechers.”
