An evil couch in Ontario, Canada ruined Luke Krajcarskiis' feet.

Your first sneakers?
I can't remember my first sneakers. They were probably some cheap shit anyway. But the first shoes that counted for me were in 1984 or 85. They were nikes, and I barely wore them, maybe 10 times total before I out grew them. I still have them and they are absolutely mint. (no box)

Where do you shop for sneakers?
Foot locker

Why are sneakers important?
Sneakers are important because you feet are in contact with the ground to many hours out of the day to wear flat, ugly regular shoes. Besides comfort is very important for me after I damaged my heels by jumping of the couch as a kid.

Your best sneaker memory?
My story comes from where I was in Europe for a while last year and I wore the black and white Air Jordans #12. As I walked through Poland downtown everyone was looking at my feet. I went into a sports store and they hardly carried nike, and all they carried of nike was common. Anyway, I was at a night club and some guy put his shoe againts my as if he was comparing sizes. This guy was big and so was his foot. Our sizes were very different. I had no idea why this stranger did this. Later a friend told me he was comparing foot sizes because he was going to kick my as for my shoes if they were his size. I was never so glad to have 9.5 feet. I think back and think that I not only could have my life in danger, but my sneakers could have been history.

How many?
7: 2 Jordans, 1 pippen, 1 flight, 1 nike blades, nike slants, nikes '85, duffs

How do you clean your sneaks?
I clean them with a tooth brush and oil of oilay soap.If they are stained then I use bleach on foam, rubber and material. I accidentally put some bleach on the black nike threaded symbol and it turned gold. It look very professional and when people asked where I got them from I told them they were custom made. (and they were, by me)




Air Jordan V is Luke's top sneaker.

Top sneaker of all time
Top sneaker of all time is the fifth Air Jordans, black with the silver tongue. Why?, because it was well ahead of it's time, comfortable and everyone wanted a pair more then they wanted oxygen. I was one of the people that could not afford them, neither could my parents. I got to wear a pair my friend has in the summer of '97. They were old but i felt extremely cool.

Looking forward to the next generation.

Sneakers you are most looking forward to?
Every year of the Jordan, November a definite shoe month. Also the new Pippen's.


What else?
I want to mention my friend Ashley May. This guy has eight pairs of Jordans, several grant hills and over a dozen other sneakers that are now out of comission.
