#SoleqtrInterviews @k____bell • When did you start collecting? - I honestly can’t remember a specific year or age. All I know is I’ve been collecting since I first visited the US as a kid and bought a pair of Reebok (Allen Iverson) i3 “The 3rd Degree” Low in red! That’s definitely where the addiction started! Obviously the older I’ve got, the more affordable it has become. As a result I think my collection has definitely grown much faster since 2010. • Top three sneakers owned? - Not sure how you measure the top three but these are my all time favourites. - 1. Air Jordan 1 Retro “Shattered Backboard” 2. Adidas Ultra Boost 1.0 OG 3. Undefeated x Nike Air Max 97 in Black. • Fav sneaker brand? (if you had to pick one) - Easy question...Jordan. • What was the most recent pair of sneakers you bought? - Air Jordan 1 Retro OG “Shadow” & YEEZY 500. • How many do you own? - 200 plus. I stopped counting after 50, now I just worry about storage space! • Where do you buy your sneakers from? - Whilst I have some decent contacts in Europe & US, I try my best to support the local stores...especially since the likes of Concepts & The Good Life Space have opened in Dubai. I’ve also been known to venture onto StockX & GOAT. This is usually only as a last resort or if I really want something and can’t find it in Dubai; such as the Adidas Futurecraft 4D.
