Your top sneaker of all time?
The Air Huarach Light. It was the blue and orange Air Huarache. It is so comfortable and had a very different look for 1992. I love it.

Do you remember your first pair of sneakers?
My first pair of sneakers was a pair of Trax that my mom ordered me from the JC Penny catolog. It was great when they came via UPS because I was only 7 and they looked so new and cool. Little did I know that today Trax are not a good thing.

What do sneakers tell us about people?
Sneakers tell me how much people really care about themselves. I understand that all people can't afford the top of the line shoes but it really bothers me when parents take their kids out shopping for shoes and it looks like they are about three months past due for shoes. Or even when adults are walking around with holes in their shoes. That would be so embarassing for me. I think you should take the time to make yourself look presentable, if you look hard enough you can find a good pair of Reebok's or NIKE's for $45-65 dollars.

Why are sneakers important to you?
I currently have 107 pair of sneakers. All but 3 pair of them are NIKE. Sneakers are important to me because when I did not have a car they were the car for me and kind of a symbol to other people. That has carried over to today i average about two new pair per month.

Where do you shop for sneakers?
Foot Locker or NIKE. I have a friend who works for NIKE and i get a great deal on shoes. 50% off!!!!!!!!



Anfernee is probably also looking forward to his new shoes

Shoe I am most looking forward to:
The New NIKE Air Foamposite. It will be worn by Anfernee Hardaway and retail for 180 dollars. It will be released on June 11, 1997.

How do you clean your sneakers?
I clean whatever pair of sneakers I wear that day with Second Wind shoe cleaner. I clean them every night
