Sneakerhead spotlight: Matty aka @Matty.kicks
Question 1: What’s in your current sneaker rotation?
Matty: My rotation is forever changing. But mainly Jordan 1s and Air Max. Sprinkle in some Yeezys as well. I am going to have to grab and add more 700s to the rotation without a doubt. My 3 most worn shoes would be: Jordan 1 Bio Hack, Jordan 1 Volt Gold & Air Max 90 Viotech.
Question 2: What's the last pair you UNDS'd?
Matty: Air Max Bacons.
Question 3: What is your fave sneaker you currently own?
Matty: Right now I’d have to go with the Yeezy 700 bright blue. I get more compliments wearing them than any other shoe. They just pop. And the comfort speaks for itself. Always thought that looked a little bulky and goofy, but after getting these out of luck and trying them on it was a love ever since!
Question 4: What is your must-have grail?
Matty: Jordan 1 Union Blue Toe. On a more affordable level though I’d have to go with the black Raygun SBs.
Question 5: What got you started in the sneaker game?
Matty: Not sure, when i started being able to afford sneakers probably. I always had a pair of air max. Then randomly I grabbed some Team Jordan’s thinking i was cool. (I know i know). But my boy like 5 years ago sold me some Jordan’s and it’s been an expensive hobby ever since. Shout out to Rufus for that one!
Question 6: What's something that most people don't know about you?
Matty: I love to golf. It’s my favorite hobby. It’s also expensive. Almost as bad as collecting shoes. Having expensive hobbies has always been a favorite past time of mine lol. Also I’ve only been collecting shoes for a couple years. I know the history and the game. Was just never serious. Grabbed a pair here and there. So far in 2021 I’ve doubled my collection easily. Let’s just say the days i don’t get a delivery the UPS man is asking if everything is okay.
Question 7 (optional): What do you do for a living?
Matty: I work full time as an electrician and part time at a shoe consignment store. I enjoy the store. I always get first dibs on heat that comes in. In you’re ever in Delaware stop by Gallery 302.
Question 8: Where can people follow you on social media? YT, Snapchat, IG etc
Matty: on Twitter and my Ig is @Matty.kicks.
