So i decided to make a weekly feature for our local sneakerheads may it be private sneakerhead or reseller. I think that alot voices in our community dont get much props or traction so to get the ball rolling we have one of the collectors ive known for a very long time. I used to play ball with him once upon a time and we occasinaly trade buy sneakers and im sure alot of you know him. So snkrsgram prepared a set of questions and Raffy was nice enough to answer all of them.
Why do you collect sneakers?
It is really my dream to collect shoes since my childhood. It’s really my passion. Plus the fact that MJ is my idol in basketball. Collecting sneakers gives me sense of fulfillment and joy whenever I cop the shoes I want.
What do you think about sneaker scene in the country?
Every year more and more people are engaging in the community. They hype is real. It just shows that passionate sneakerheads population is getting bigger.
Do you agree on reselling sneakers for profit?
Yes. There’s nothing wrong about it. It is just the same as reselling other collectibles. As long as you are not offending anyone and its not againts the law then you are good.
If Jordan brand will have a local Collab, which brand artist or athlete would you like to be featured.
I would love to see Pacman x Jordan Brand collab. A collab between boxing and basketball goats. That could also put the philippines in the Map in terms of sneakers popularity. We already have the Jordan 4 Manila.
What do you think about the recent price hike of Jordan with it's shoes?
Ofcourse it hurt us consumers though it’s really okay since Jordan brand is just the same as other businesses that undergone some studies for them to make decision such as price hike. And us as consumers have no choice and have to deal with it.
