Sneakerhead spotlight: Nathan aka @knxwledgepxwer

Question 1: What’s in your current sneaker rotation?

Nathan: Jordan 1 Mid ‘Banned’, Jordan 1 Low ‘Shadow’, Jordan 7 ‘Nothing But Net’, and a pair of Adidas Yung-96’s. The plan is to add a pair of New Balance or ASICS into the mix. 

 

Question 2: What's the last pair you UNDS'd?

Nathan: That would be my Jordan 1 Hyper Royals. 

Question 3: What is your fave sneaker you currently own?

Nathan: That’s such a hard decision! Because of the story behind them I’d have to say my Kobe Protro V Bruce Lee and Alternates. They were gifted to me directly from Nike. 

Question 4: What is your must-have grail?

Nathan: The matching set of the Bodega X Nike Dunk Hi Legend. The regular ones plus the Friends & Family edition. 

Question 5: What got you started in the sneaker game?

Nathan: I don’t think there was an option for me not to get in the sneaker game. I played basketball when I was in middle school so that really made me start paying attention to sneakers. I remember my first pair of kicks that I obsessed over was this half white/half red pair of And1’s lol. The red was suede and I thought they were too cool and just had to have em. Eventually I got a pair of all white AF1’s and never looked back!

 

Question 6: What's something that most people don't know about you?

Nathan: Little known fact is that I lived in an apartment complex that caught fire one morning when I was about 23 years old. In the process of evacuating my neighbors, I ended up jumping into the burning building to save a dog that had been trapped inside. 

Question 7 (optional): What do you do for a living?

Nathan: Im currently a Retail Store Manager for one of those nation-wide mall stores. 

Question 8: Where can people follow you on social media? YT, Snapchat, IG etc

Nathan: Twitter: @knxwledgepxwer and on IG: highand_mighty
