Pontus Andersson from Stockholm, Sweden, likes crazy hair and crazy sneaks..
Your first sneakers?
The first pair I remember was a pair Stan Smiths. I don't like the model at all anymore, but hey you have to start somewhere. If I remember correctly my best friends dog ate them up and my mom felt so sorry for me that she took me to the store and bought me a pair of Nike Bruins.
Your top sneaker of all time?
It has to be the Air Max 95. I love the colours and the model itself. Even though the model is a few years old now it doesn't feel at all like time has pasted it by. It's just an excellent shoe.
Where do you shop for sneakers?
Footlocker or Offspring when I'm in London. In Stockholm it is very hard to find good stores but it's getting better. There's one new store called sneakersnstuff . Stockholm also just got its very first Footlocker.
Pontus'top sneaker -- Air Max 95.
Why are sneakers important?
They look good they're comfortable, they say things about their owner. They're very often the difference between looking good and looking great.
Your best sneaker story?
I think it was four, or maybe five, years ago and I desperatly wanted a pair of Adidas Shelltoes, a model that was just about impossible to get a hold of in Sweden at the time. One day my friend told me that he had heard that they had some shoes in a store in a shopping centre outside of Stockholm. I skipped school, went there and found a pair my size. My happiness didn't last long off course. My shoes got stolen when I was at a house party just a few weeks later but I still remember how happy I was when I walked out of that store with my very first pair of shelltoes.
How many
Eight pairs that fit. I use maybe 5 of them regulary
How do you clean your sneaks?
With a wet, warm cloth. The really dirty spots will gets my tooth brush treatment, I always use a new tooth brush, don't know why really. After cleaning I wipe the shoes dry with a soft cloth.
Sneakers you are most looking forward to?
I've heard stories about a very, very, very cool sneaker being released from Converse later this year. If what I heard is true I think you'll all be surprised, but I promised not to tell...
