Interviewee Aaron C.

1.  Do you collect sneakers? Or do you buy and wear them?

A: It's a mixture of both because I'll buy sneakers and not wear them for like a year because I don't like wearing what everybody else is wearing so they'll be in my collection but eventually I'll wear them

A: Good Question Off the Top Of my head I Think a Good 30-35 I've giving  sneakers away so that's why the numbers so low

3.  What do you think of the increase in the sneaker hype?

A:If you Ask me personally I think its influence, I think anything Kanye puts on his feet everybody is going to flock to because everyone follows his trends, I also think different color ways and designs play a big part also collaboration with brands and designer help

4.  What’s your definition of “Sneaker head” do you like that term?

A: A sneakers to my is someone who isn't basis or just rocks certain/one Brand Or rocks something because this person says it's cool, I look at Guys like The Mayor, Joe La Puma, Ronnie Fieg, Clark Kent, Wale Etc Those Guys Have been collecting sneakers for years and have a wide variety of brands and sneakers those are the true sneakers heads and that term has always be cool with me

5.  What is the craziest thing you’ve done to get a pair of sneakers?
