Collection Summary
“Sneakers have always been a part of my life. I have two older brothers that are into sneakers. Whenever my Mother brought them sneakers, she had to buy me sneakers as well. It’s pretty hard for me to actually say when I became a collector. The first pair of kicks I bought with my own money was the Nike Zoom LeBron 20-5-5. I have been a big LeBron fan since I saw him play against my brother in high school in Queens, NY. Since then, he’s been my favorite player. So whatever LeBrons that came out, I had to get them. My collection contains a lot of different shoes. LeBrons, Kobes, KDs, Air Max, New Balance, retro Nike Basketball, and of course, Jordans. I really don’t know how many pairs of sneakers I have, to be honest. I may have at least 200 in my house, and probably close to 100 in storage.”
