I decided to quit being lazy and finally do this sole swap on these ‘95 Jordan 2s. They were DS and I’ve never successfully done a sole swap for a newer sole. I had to drill down that 2022 sole a lot to make these fit. The upper is a size 9.5 and the donor soles were an 8.5 (kind of crazy I had to size down a whole size to get them close) 

Sneaker restoration is just a hobby of mine and these weren’t perfect but I’m learning to be OK with that 🫡🙏🏽

Also kind of cool that these complete the set of the first official 1994/1995 AJ1-3 “Retros” in my collection. by @allitheabstract

At the age of 12, I became obsessed with these hoodies fully covered in camouflage colors I’ve never seen before. Once I started to research them and learned more about the owner of the brand, I was locked in. 

Nigo’s cultural influence is undeniable. At the time, most called Bapesta’s fake AF1s, but those who knew—fell in love with the colorways because Nike played it pretty safe at the time. 

On my way to Europe, I noticed Nigo had an upcoming exhibit at The Design Museum in London and bought tickets for the day after its opening. He planned to release a Nike collaboration on opening day at the museum followed by a global release online the next day. Knowing the lines would be crazy, and hype for this shoe was high, I had low expectations I would be lucky enough to grab a pair. 

As I’m pullin’ up on the museum I see a few people standing by the museum shop, so I decided to shoot my shot. 

To my surprise, my size 9 was one of two sizes left. Honestly purchasing Nigo’s first official AF1 at the opening of his museum exhibit has to be top 3 souvenirs I’ve ever got in my life. 

Nigo-San, thank you 🙏🏽 taken in The Design Museum by @allitheabstract

I’ve loved sneakers as far back as I can remember. I used to steal my stepdad’s Eastbay magazines and take them to elementary school. During recess me and my friends would look through the pages and circle the shoes we wanted to buy when we grew up. I still have my sketchbook from 4th grade where I would draw cartoon characters wearing jays or randomly sketch sneakers that I thought were cool. I think one of the pictures I made was a fusion between Nike Shox and Air Jordan 9s lol. 

Sneakers was the reason I got my first internship out of high school. I interviewed with Comcast and they asked me if I had any sales experience (at 17 years old). I basically walked them through how I bought, sold and traded sneakers on Facebook and they were thoroughly impressed. The concept of resale wasn’t a thing back then. 

People ask me, “Why did you build Just For Kicks?” It gives me an outlet. I get the chance to connect with people all over the world, who share a common interest. An interest that has molded me to be the person I am today.

Time is currency. Make sure that it’s wellspent. Be intentional. Be there for your family. Be there for yourself. Be present.
