Sneakerheads: A shoe in.



Originally, the idea started with a profile of one person who collected sneakers - then it snowballed into this eight-pager as Leo Chow pointed to these incredible serious collectors who knocked me down with statistics; over 500 pairs of shoes, a value of over $5 million.

No one in high fashion paid attention to sneakers in the ’80s, but, with prices for prize examples going stratospheric, look at them now!! We record an oral history of the humble accessory that’s now a blue-chip commodity.


PS: One of the three pics in the mag shot by me - if you take 100 pics, one will turn out ok! ;0) .... This is also why we hire the best photographers in the world. Shout out to Natalie Dunn who did an amazing job.
