Nice Kicks: How has being in the military helped/hurt your shoe collecting?
SrA: It has helped in many ways. It has allowed me to make friends all over the world. I have shoes coming in from places like Vegas, Portland, Korea, Germany and many different places, weekly.
Nice Kicks: Which shoe do you regret not picking up?
SrA Shaw: I regret not being able to get my hands on a pair of the KD IV ?Weatherman.? The KD IV is my breakthrough shoe of the year.
Nice Kick: Which shoes are the most popular in your hometown?
SrA Shaw: In my hometown, it would be all-white Air Force 1s. We have a Nike employee store in Memphis, and they sell out of them monthly.
Nice Kicks: What made you start collecting shoes?
SrA Shaw: My dad is why I collect shoes. As a kid going through middle school, my dad was the biggest Penny Hardaway fan. He laced me in every Penny sneaker released. That’s why my ultimate goal is to own one pair of every Penny sneaker by the time I’m done.
Nice Kicks: What is your favorite sneaker spot?
SrA: Hands down, my favorite is Nice Kicks. Each day I get to work, I sit at my desk and it is the first site I pull up. Thanks for showing the troops of the Armed Forces love. Salute!
