My Sneakerhead Origin Story
<p>People collect all kinds of things: Some collect rare coins, and some collect stamps. For NBA players, it’s Kardashians. When hip-hop culture took off, another collectible hit the scene — Jordans. Now, we call these collectors sneakerheads.</p>
<p>But there was a catch with these Jordans. Nike only released them in limited numbers. These sneakers were meant to be a cool status symbol, but back in the 90s and early 2000s, standing in line at a sneaker store could be downright dangerous. I didn’t understand the risks back then, but that’s exactly what drew me into the world of sneakerheads. Fast forward to 2024, and I’m now a stand-up comedian, with a solid 20 minutes of my routine dedicated just to sneakers. People often ask me how I became a sneakerhead. It’s a story that’s as interesting as it is, frankly, a little terrifying.</p>
