Collection Summary:
“To make a long story short, growing up my parents could only afford Payless shoes with whatever knockoffs they had. Skip a couple of decades and now that I can afford buying most of whatever sneakers I like, I try to get all the pairs I couldn’t get as a kid. That lasted a couple of years and I started getting into collecting designer toys, so my shoe collection took a backseat for a long while. I found my way back into the sneaker culture again when Reebok started to retro some of the original colorways for the first Reebok Question. Being a huge Allen Iverson fan, I was just going to cop Questions and Reebok Answers only. Over a period of time, I caught the bug and started to buy other silhouettes from Reebok as well, which eventually ballooned to where I am now. When I first got onto Instagram, you couldn’t find three other people that were avid Reebok fans. A couple of years later, there are a handful amount of us now, so shout out to @teamreebok1895!”
