I am a sneakerhead episode 184 - @linegranhoj

Could you briefly introduce yourself?

I’m a 26 y/o female sneaker lover from Denmark. I love being creative whether it’s graffiti on walls or customizing a classic AF1 with a tiny brush. I buy sneakers I like; I don't really care much about hype.

Do you remember what your first pair of ‘proper’ sneakers were? Was it a special release that started your addiction, or just a general release?

My first pair of "proper" sneakers, or what got me into this was the Nike AM90 "Volt" back in 2012, so AM90 has had a special place in my heart ever since.

Based on your Instagram account, you only seem to collect Nikes. Is there any reason for this?

I think Nike is just a safe way for me; I kinda know what I’m getting. But I’ll say that I’ve become more open to other brands lately but it also has to really get my interest to get me to buy it; like a super dope silhouette and colorway.

Do you have a favourite Nike model? Perhaps even a favourite release?

My favorite Nike model might be Air Max 90 or Air Max 1 since they have always had my interest, and there are so many good colorways!

What was your favourite pickup of 2021?

No doubt here! The beautiful Patta x Nike Air Max 1 waves "Monarch.” At first, I was not too sure about these but I am SO happy I got them. Can we please never stop appreciating them?

Is there anything specifically you are looking for in 2022?

First of all, more women’s releases!
But you know what? If possible I don’t look more than a couple of weeks forward. I like to get hyped and surprised; not knowing what’s to come is just a bit more fun, I think. Maybe a little less Dunk cws and a bit more AM1 cws. Just kidding, although, more Am1 cws would be awesome.

What do you think of the current stage of the sneaker community?

I don’t know a lot about the sneaker community. I’ve only been on Instagram for a couple of years but I’ve got some girls I’m in touch with and that’s lovely! What I do know since I started my collection is that the prices are freaking crazy! I don’t think there were any resellers when I started. Why buy a sneaker you don’t want? Get a job and buy the sneakers you like. Yeah, sorry not sorry; that’s my opinion.

Do you have an all-time grail?

I have a good amount of grails!
3 of my most wanted are:
Travis Scott x Nike SB Dunk Low
Jordan 4 Retro x Off-White “Sail”
Nike Air Max 1 x Atmos "Animal Pack 2.0"
