Sneakerhead Spotlight: @masterofoneinc1
Question 1: What’s in your current sneaker rotation?
M.O.1.I.P: I never wear the same shoes twice during a month (not counting beaters for yardwork). Lately, I've been going usually at least three months between wears. My rotation is really all over the place. I try to mix up colors, numbers etc… I try to always rotate in at least one CNY. My favorite compliment in-person is when someone says: “I have never seen you wear the same shoes twice.”
Question 2: What's the last pair you UNDS'd?
M.O.1.I.P: I did a whole week of unDSing before my birthday. The last one was the Jordan 1 Guava Ice which I had forgot I owned and found hidden among other shoes.
Question 3: What is your fave sneaker you currently own?
M.O.1.I.P: If push comes to shove then I am picking the Jordan 6 Chinese New Year’s. This sneaker really got me in CNY releases and all because Footlocker had it in stock. The amount of on-foot compliments have been quite nice over the years. Such a fun looking shoe.
Question 4: What is your must-have grail?
M.O.1.I.P: I love movies. On Twitter I'm all about movies and shoes. I would love to have the ParaNorman Foamposite. Now that the Kubo 15 has gone up even more in price this has also become a grail. One aspect about shoes is that there is always something else to get. Just like with movies and books the quest to learn more is never ending.
Question 5: What got you started in the sneaker game?
M.O.1.I.P: I've had a couple of phases. I first played in the Jordan 3s, 4s, 5s in High Schoolwhen they came out. Teammate had the 2s at the time, so I had to get the latest release. In college I could not afford shoes (played so much streetball with holes in shoes those years), so when I finished my degree, I started paying more attention to shoes again. But the past 8 years I really got into being a sneakerhead. That is when I learned more about the designers & all the releases I could so I could name them on site and now everyday I’m looking at people’s shoes.
Question 6: What's something that most people don't know about you?
M.O.1.I.P: I am definitely open on Twitter about my love of shoes, movies, fashion, exercise, books, music (metal), so maybe some random facts: I sneeze seven times (a terror when driving the freeway), I lost around 50 pounds a few years ago so now I’m about 12 percent body fat (yeah showing off my calves as much as possible now), I do not drink coffee (though those who follow me know I talk a lot about coffee houses I frequent), I do not drink alcohol (stopped when I was 19) and in person I would probably be the most hyper person you have met.
Question 7 (optional): What do you do for a living?
M.O.1.I.P: Software. I need money for my shoes.
Question 8: Where can people follow you on social media? YT, Snapchat, IG etc
M.O.1.I.P: I am only on here out of the major social media. Now if you google my name masterofoneinchpunch (Bruce Lee reference) you can see me on a variety of sites and forums. That is one of the reasons I made the name so unique.
