Not just a soops head, more an Adidas head.
Live and work in London (run a design studio).
Collect sneaks but wear all of them (some carefully, others daily).
Got/had (retired) Superstar I lux (white/grey, white/red), SS I black/white, Rom (white/blue, white/navy), Stan Smith Originals, Tobacco (maroon), New York (blue/light blue), Gazelle II (all maroon), Wilhelm Bungert (x2 white/white, white/blue), Grand Slam (white/silver), Training 72 (white/nubuck/blue), SL72 (black/white)... few Puma's (GV Special etc), few New Balance.
After... Rod Laver Vintage, Jeans (blue/yellow), SS Grun Hemp (blue), ROMs in any colour (loving the ROM),
I'm afraid I also have a raw denim obsession (and yeah it bleeds on my kicks).
No problem with museum-like collections, I just think sneaks are built to wear - so I wear mine!
First fell for Gola Cobra in 75-ish and then went mamba/samba/bamba/hawaii/gazelle/nizza... etc. Been a sneaker freaker since I was 8 years old. Ain't stopping it anytime soon either.
Cheers!
