this pattern continued for over a decade. i acquired shoes in trinidad, israel, cuba, england and all over the united states. never spending more than $50/pair.
about five years ago, i quit buying sneakers--cold turkey. i had so many and had learned about the horrible conditions in sneaker factories. i was also turned off by what the sneaker game had become (people spending lots of money online and in boutiques where everything was served up on a platter).
i know my collection is not the biggest or the first. but for me it represents young innocent love and desire. this is my trip down memory lane. thanks for joining me,

HUGE PROPS to Miguel, Ray and Scott from Photographic Memory for helping me make this documentation project a reality!
