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

Matt: The last Pair I UNDS’d was the Lebron 8 v/2 Low Miami Nights, I have been waiting for those for too long to sit on

Question 3: What is your fave sneaker you currently own?
Matt: My Favorite Sneaker of all time is the Jordan 5 Fire Red Black Tongue, and I am lucky enough to own it

Question 4: What is your must-have grail?

Matt: I am not really hunting grails so much anymore, just trying to make sure my collection stays well rounded and is a reflection of my personal style.  I got caught up too long in grabbing all of the releases and always going after my grails.  If I was to name one big shoe I would still count as my grail, it would be the DB5

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

Matt: Money!  Lol, honestly its true.  I always wanted nice shoes when I was young, but my single Mom couldn’t afford them.  I vividly remember seeing the Jordan 5’s on my 3rd grade playground, and that was the first time I ever NEEDED shoes.  I wasn’t able to get them then, but as soon as I was able to have enough extra cash I started buying all the shoes I missed out on as a kid.  I had always found a way to get kicks but hadn’t started a proper collection until about 2007 when the True Blue Spizikes released, that shoe came out right at a time when I finally had my finances in order and the nostalgia hit me like crazy. That shoe started my current collection, and I still have them!

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

Matt: Outside of Shoes, I love classic Volkswagens, motorcycles, and generally anything with an engine

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