a little background

It’s really important to me to share what I love with others.
I live to make art every day, even if it isn’t always art in the conventional sense of the word.
This blog is a way I can share what I love and how I see things with you.
Since I’m so passionate about Nike, it’s seems fitting that I should give you a taste of that part of my life.

I’ve been a sneakerhead as long as I can remember.
My soles have been leaving Nike imprints since my childhood, into my teens, and are now leading me through my 20′s.
Honestly, I know Nike will always be a part of my life.
I bet I’ll even get married in a pair some day.

A lot of people have been asking me why I am writing this blog,
All I can say is that I’m doing what I love- and I’m inviting you along for the ride.
It’s exhilarating and intoxicating to express myself through photography, drawing, painting, creating, and fashion.
but seriously, enough about me…let’s get to the shoes!

  1. have you had any joy with the liberty blazers yet ?
    i don’t think the ones you show have been released yet by the way.
    i live in london not far from liberty. i’m a nike collector too. i’ve been the first customer in for the past two days ( i want the air force 1′s )
    would you like me to buy a pair for you and you can pay me back ?
    just let me know the size and model and i’ll see what i can do.
    cheers

      Mark! how thoughtful! I’m so appreciative of that!
      Were you able to get the Air Force 1′s today? I love those shoes too! Was it a mad house?
      I think I’m going to try and order them online when they start selling them.

  6. What a fun blog. I enjoy your creative thinking. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I’ll be back to visit.

  7. I love this. I am not sure if I could come up with one brand or item for an entire blog. I am fickle, you see, I bounce around from one thing to the next. I do get excited about art supplies. Paper in particular. Right now I keep telling people about paper made out of stone. I am crazy about it. I grab random people and say ‘Feel this, what do you think this paper is made out of ?’ ‘Stone’ exclaim,’it is made out of stone!’ From their facial expressions, I am starting to realize that not everyone feels the passion for paper that I do.
    But even my excitement for stone paper is not a enough for an entire blog.
    Well done, you.

  18. I wore Nikes before Nikes were cool…I worked my butt off at countless babysitting jobs just to get a new pair for school every year. I never took them off. And they were totally wore out by the beginning of the next school year.
