Nice Kicks: What made you start collecting shoes?
SGT Miller: I?ve always had a thing for having nice stuff. I would always ask my mom to buy me shoes, and she?d always say no. So I had to take care of the ones I had. When I started making money, I kept them in good condition and they just started adding up.

Nice Kicks: Which shoe is your holy grail?
SGT Miller: I love Jordan Vs, so I am on a mission to get every V ever released. So, I?d have to say the Burgundy V, Quai 54 V?s, Laney Vs, Bin Vs and of course the Grape Vs.

Nice Kicks: Which shoe do you consider the most prized of your collection?
SGT Miller: It?s either my Bred 11?s because it?s one of the first pair of Jordans I bought myself, or my ?Metallic? Jordan Vs because I love them so much and wear them all the time.

Nice Kicks: How has being in the military helped/hurt your shoe collecting?
SGT Miller: It has helped by putting money in my pocket and introducing me to a lot of people who share the same passion and can help out. It has hurt because of the constant going to the field for weeks or deploying because I can?t cop shoes then.
