My 1st pair that i can remember getting were the cortez's in 5th grade! Thats what set it off or me..thats what made me love sneakers, although the concept of having more than one pair was new to me till 09'!
Don't believe the hype, i swear almost most the sneakers that come out are just trash!
Only a handful of sneakers these day's make me say "on crip cuh...these are dope sneakers"
