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

Em: Thinking about having to choose just one shoe gives me anxiety so I’ll just say overall the Nike Air Max 97 and 98 are my favorite! Lol

Question 4: What is your must-have grail?

Em: The word grail has so many meanings… but my grail is something that holds so much meaning to me that I don’t care if it’s falling apart or discolored, I’m keeping it as part of my collection forever.

The Air Jordan XIX OG Low.

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

Em: I grew up playing outside until the street lights turned on so I’ve always been drawn towards sneakers more than anything else. But it wasn’t until my first year of high school that I found my new home with the sneaker community. They showed me the ropes and how much fun sneakers really are.

I’ll never forget the shoes I wore on the first day of class… remember my grail? Yep. The Air Jordan XIX OG Low.  Wouldn’t be who I am today without them! 

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

Em: Despite most peoples assumption, I am NOT a reseller. There’s nothing wrong with it, but if you know me you know I do not have the energy or patience it takes to do it lol. 

Yes, I buy quite a few sizes but most are just to help friends cop kicks at retail. I also do little giveaways on Twitter now and then. And the rest I try to donate to local toy drives during the holidays for the kids.

Best. Feeling. Ever.

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

Em: I work in the fruit industry!

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

Em: Other than Twitter my IG is emob_ and TikTok is @_emob (still learning lol y’all help teach me plz).
