Chicks in Kicks – Jazzy

• Tweet

On the heels of a recent shoot I did for Girls Got Kicks, I figured that it was time I did one of these joints about myself. Having little to no experience writing an autobiographical editorial, bear with me. My sneaker back story begins back in the late eighties, when I began to take less interest in the pink and clear jelly’s and more interest in laced up treasures. My parent’s often referred to me as Punky Brewster, as I had often been known to walk to school in mismatched Chuck Taylor hi’s with contrasting socks. Fast forward to my first job, I would use every paycheck to put the next pair of Jay’s on layaway, until my collection was complete. To be honest, I stopped feelin’ most of the releases after the XII’s so I moved my attention to Dunks and Blazers [that is, until they became the new Air Force One]. Having over twenty years vested in the kick game I can say that my love for sneakers has always been rooted in the artistic design, and constant evolution of style. Having owned over 93 pairs in my adult life, I’m no hypebeast, don’t believe in Deadstock collecting and every pair of shoes in my closet has been worn. Check for me and quite a few other Sneaker loving divas in the new issue of Sneaker Freaker as well as the upcoming project, Girls Got Kicks.

BTW- I have yet to acquire my all time favorite kicks, the Tweed SB hi’s. If you know anyone that has them in a 6…I need them joints!
