Interview j is Aji, n is Nick.
p: What was the first pair of sneakers? When to start collecting sneakers in a frenzy
A: I was impressed that my first pair of sneakers should be air jordan 13. Because I liked it too much, and then I wanted it for a long time, I remember that I bought it in the store and then wore it straight home, and I stared at the shoes from beginning to end, and the feeling was too deep. Later, from saving pocket money to working, buying a pair and a pair, and then getting more and more crazy, and friends to get to know public relations, hoping to get special shoes, in fact, I have always liked to buy sneakers. I wouldn't say I'm a collector, but with a nice pair of sneakers, clothes can be a little easier to match. I used to like to watch the NBA, or in 2000, there were a lot of rappers who liked to wear white af-1s, and under the influence of street culture such as NBA and music videos, I began to like sneakers.
p: There are no sneakers that make you particularly impressed.
a: Sneakers are like a diary to me, because many of my shoes are only worn once, which will make me more profound. It may be to accompany me to my first concert, may accompany me to my first tour or some special event, so I often see these shoes, and I will have some pictures in my mind, just like my diary, like atmos x air jordan 3 accompany me to the first fashion week, I will be particularly impressed.
p: Tell me how you got sneakers
a: I will show up in my home when I get up, and now many brands will sponsor me, I will feel very happy, and my dreams come true!
p: About the habit of wearing shoes
A: Many times, when you wear a very limited amount of things, it is the easiest to bump your shoes, and many times I get a new pair of shoes, and I may put them out for a while and then take them out to wear. The current trend is to wear whatever fires, just like uniforms, and I don't think that style is what I want.
J: What wouldn't you choose a shoe?
N: I wouldn't choose white sneakers
J: Can you accept used sneakers?
n: No, for second-hand things, especially shoes. What if the last one has Hong Kong feet!
p: When collecting sneakers, are there any small regrets?
a: Sneakers are currently fine, and I'm lucky to be able to buy any sneakers I like. I would love a satin version of the air jordan 1 "bred" because I love silk cloth clothes or shoes.
p: What do you think the hip-hop sneakers are?
A: My favorite style is the 2000s, when hip hop began to become the mainstream culture, and then you can occupy the entire music charts in all hip hop artists, let the public understand this culture more, and then in 2000, it was a time when every rapper was very distinct, I liked fubu, sean john, rocawear, everyone wore a whole set of assemblies timberland, wore a full set of denim assembly af-1, I think that time was the golden age, The look at that time was something I really liked. In the back there are kanye west and pharrell williams, which is a futuristic era, you can see music affecting fashion, fashion affecting clothing, clothing and music combined, I think that was when music and clothing were most closely related.
About sneaker collection
This time, Zhou Tanghao specially brought us 5 pairs of collector's sneakers, including the most popular nike air fear of god 1, the topical "not for resale", the super limited atmos x air max 1 & air jordan 3 pack, and the custom air jordan 1 given by his friend Tommy.

atmos x air max 1 & air jordan 3 pack
The first thing I want to introduce is this equal pack, which I think is a very special combination, air jordan with air max has a special magic. First of all, air max 1, this is a very classic pair of sneakers, burst elements are very much like, color matching is also very like, you can see that the sole has jordan logo, this is the air max series usually do not appear in the element, I think very cool. In addition to the classic air max 1, we got the jordan right here, only this pack will have this color of the air Jordan 3, the texture of the suede I like very much, the overall shoe feel very comfortable to wear, but also a relatively rare color matching.
For me, sneakers are not necessarily rare or very hot, just whether I like it or not, for me the 3rd and 4th generations are my favorite shoes, but I rarely see me wearing them, because I think my body shape is not necessarily very suitable, but I appreciate the texture of the whole shoe and the spark generated by the whole pack. I only wear this pair of air jordan 3 once, which is the time mentioned above at the Paris fashion week; and this other pair of air max 1 I will wear more often, because I think it is better to match and more suitable for my usual clothes.

「temp change」
My friend Tommy specially made this pair of air jordan 1 for me, it will change color, with the alternating hot and cold, weather and other external factors and change color, very cool. The black shiny leather and the discoloration material make me feel very special. I myself really like this kind of customized shoes, a lot of people who play with sneakers don't necessarily like customized things, but for me, I think it gives new life to shoes.

nike air fear of god 1
It's the turn of this pair of recently very popular price of god x nike, in fact, I don't pay special attention to some of the more military or outdoor things, when I first saw the photo of this pair of shoes, I didn't have a big reaction, thinking it was a pair of basketball shoes. Until I got it, I liked it very much, its texture is very good, the toe is longer than the tip, more like the shoes I usually wear clothes can be put on. The only problem with these shoes is that it is more troublesome to put on and take off, and the package is too tight, probably because it is designed so that players can have a good performance on the basketball court, but this pair of shoes gave me a new idea of basketball shoes.

「not for resale」
There is also the air jordan 1st generation on my feet, which is my favorite air jordan shoe, and the black and red chicago is also my favorite color. Speaking of the pair of "not for resale" I wear today, in fact, its concept is very similar to me, I will not sell my shoes myself, or speculate, so I think this concept is very interesting, speculation makes the whole sneaker industry bigger, it is a good thing, and let all players have more things to discuss.

Wrinkle-resistant pleated shoe shell
I especially recommend to everyone, all friends who wear air jordan 1 will find a problem: no matter how to wear, there will be wrinkles in the front, if you want to not have wrinkles like me, I suggest you can buy this shell to stuff in it, this is the best artifact I think I have ever played with sneakers, so recommend it to everyone.
Finally, Nick has another sentence to say to fans and sneaker fans:
I think money can't buy taste, you can wear a pair of shoes that have no speculation value at all, unlimited, many times the shoes I wear are still very simple, whether it is converse or vans, I think the real power is the classic thing.
