Sneakerhead Spotlight: Arvel AKA @OleHeadSneakers
Question 1: What’s in your current sneaker rotation?
Arvel: Jordan 6 Seafoams (love the clean look as a summer shoe and the quality is amazing), Reebok x Mason Margiela in the khaki colorway (picked up under retail and the shoe goes with everything) & the Nike Air Max Blueprint (just an awesome shoe and love the sole glow).
Question 2: What's the last pair you UNDS'd?
Arvel: The Reebok x Mason Margiela.
Question 3: What is your fave sneaker you currently own?
Arvel: Nike x Parra Dunks are one of my favorite sneaker. Just the abstract part and how it's connected to the Olympics. Plus I relate to Parra being an older skater. I was able to trade a pair of Yeezy Waverunners to get them.
Question 4: What is your must-have grail?
Arvel: The Air Jordan 1 x Off-White. I love the shoe, the designer, and that it's just a classic silhouette.
Question 5: What got you started in the sneaker game?
Arvel: The Air Jordan 11 (Space Jams) I never had sneakers growing up, my 1st pair of "name brand" shoes were the LA Gear Joe Montana's. My parent said i couldnt have Jordans because I would get shot. So once I was able to get my hands on a pair of Jordan's the 11's we're awesome and great to play ball in.
Question 6: What's something that most people don't know about you?
Arvel: That’s a tough question because I have a YouTube channel and I’m pretty transparent so I like to skateboard still at 47yrs old, I’m an avid peloton rider, love cooking, love fashion and secretly would love to design clothing someday.
Question 7 (optional): What do you do for a living?
Arvel: I’m a Family Therapist.
Question 8: Where can people follow you on social media? YT, Snapchat, IG etc
