Could you briefly introduce yourself?

Cool! Your Instagram feed seems to be mostly Jordan’s - is that your favorite brand?

The air Jordan 1 specifically but the new balance 997 is high on my list. The air Jordan 1 is a versatile silhouette. Feel they are overhyped now but its a timeless sneaker. The big swoosh is easily recognized and demands attention.

I see. What's your opinion on nearly every Jordan 1 release being sold out with a few minutes / released through raffles?

It sucks honestly. I’ve been collecting Jordan 1s since high school when no one wanted them and were very easy to get. I think the raffle system is a good idea but is executed very poorly.

Do you have any idea of what your next purchase will be?

The air Jordan 1 high “pollen” set to release on August 7th.
