HEART & SOLE: INTERVIEW WITH A SNEAKER HEAD


IT'S JUST AN ADDED BONUS THAT THIS GUY IN ALL HIS AWESOMENESS HAPPENS TO BE MY BIG BROTHER (Kanye voice) (YES, FOR THE FINAL TIME...AS IN WE WERE YANKED FROM THE SAME WOMB)


Q: what got you interested in collecting sneakers

A: When I was like 4 or 5 uncle Corey had like 25 pairs of kicks and I wanted to be my uncle Corey. Then my mom bought me some air Pegasus and it was on.
PHIL AND OUR MOM IN THE JORDAN III'S

Q: what's your favorite pair that you currently own?

A: OG Jordan XI black and red

Q: how long have you been collecting?

A: Technically I have probably been collecting since 1993 but I really stepped my game up after I graduated college [Hampton University] when I got my real job in 2003 I went 50 pair to 96 in 10 months.

Q: how many pairs do you have

A: I currently have 403... [HE SAID THIS CASUALLY AS IF I ASKED HIM ABOUT THE WEATHER...]
YES, THAT'S THE CEILING FAN, AND YES, WE NEED TO GET AN UPDATED PICTURE...
Q: how many do you actually wear?

A: I wear em all. I have some I haven't worn yet but I will. Then there are the kicks I have on ice [STORED FOR LATER] which I have multiple pairs of and I'll wear one until it's time to retire one pair
 I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY'RE "ON ICE"...CAUSE THEY'RE CHILLIN' WAITING TO BE WORN???

Q: what sneaker do you wish you have that you don't currently own

A: I would say I have 80% of all my favorite kicks but I actually have an excel spreadsheet of sneakers I want a 2nd pair of, or I don't have yet. I know I'm a sneaker nerd lol [HE SAID IT BEFORE I COULD, CAUSE HE KNEW I WAS GONNA PLAY HIM...A SPREADSHEET THOUGH?]. #1 on the list the Eminem Air Jordan II with lyrics to "The Way I Am" written on them. A close 2nd the Paris Dunk.




Q: who's collection do you envy and why?

A: actually don't envy Anybodies kick game. I feel like my collection pretty nice, but I do wish I had a few peoples income or connections. Then you really wouldn't be able to tell me nothing K [EYE ROLL]


Q: how many pairs makes you a "collector"

A: More than 10 lol. Nah it's quality over quantity.


Q: what was the best come up you've ever had regarding kicks?

A:The best come up was I traded a couple of Jordan Banners for 3 pairs of kicks including the Supreme Dunks.

Q: do you think you'll be collecting forever?

A:Til I'm dead and then you cremate me and put my ashes in a Nike Box. [HE TOOK THIS LINE FROM ME!]

 YEA...ME TOO...THIS IS A REAL POSTER (THAT HE SWINDLED OUT OF A MANAGER OF A RETAIL STORE) HE HAS OBNOXIOUSLY HANGING IN THE ROOM HE KEEPS HIS KICKS IN BTW
Q: is there a price you wouldn't pay?

A: Retail lol I get em for the low [JERK]
Q: worst fakes you've ever seen? 
A: Any fake is the worst i've ever seen


SEE NOW YOU KNOW I REALLY MEAN IT WHEN I SAY MY BROTHER'S ONE OF THE COOLEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET! S/N...THIS FELT LIKE 5TH GRADE SHOW AND TELL ALL OVER AGAIN LMAO...
