CHIT Presents: Im A Sneaker Head

So the first individual that we chose to interview for the diary of a sneaker head is a brotha who hails from the city of brotherly love. His name is Kahri Jones, you may have seen him skating, driving, or walking around the center city streets, holdin it down for the culture in many ways. We caught up with him recently to discuss this over saturated culture....ahem!!!!

Todd L. Perry II: Let everyone know your name, and what you consider to be your role in sneaker culture:

Kahri Jones:

Sup! My name is Kahri Jones and in about the past five years I've delevoped a strong appetite for sneakers. I like to grab what ever I think thats hot, mostly Jordans. I primarily go after the OG colorways like Military 4s and Aqua 8s. The shoe that really made me start collect was the Carmelo Nuggets colorway of the Jordan 2s. Since then I've been after other shoes like Nike SB's and the Air Max series. The whole culture itself even allows you explore streetwear because the basically go hand and hand. To me its a whole lifestyle.

TLP:

Sounds Good. As far as tee-shirts go, what's on the top of your list

KJ:

Crooks & Castle. Acapulco Gold. PFK. I believe each brand has something interesting about them. Supreme and Stussy are also good, they're big in NY.

TLP:

Yea PFK is definitely doing their thing, so do you have any projects that your working on personally that you would like to expose

KJ:

Actually about two years ago in highschool, me and a friend were supposed to start making some shirts under the name of Hierarchy. We didn't find time so it was scraped. As for now I'm trying to rebuild my sneaker collection thats all.

TLP:

Yea, the culture is missing individuals who are solely dedicated for pure artistic reasons. Where do you see the culture let's say...10 years from now

KJ:

I believe that the culture should be fine as long as there are still people who are behind their favorite brands because of their creativity. Sure they will be people who jump on to the bandwagon because people want something thats a fresh breathe of air. But they we then move on to something else. Thats fine cause there were people into the culture before it became popular and most likely they will still be around.

TLP:

Good Answer. And now for the finale....What's a sneaker that you love, but never had a chance to get

KJ:

Ha thats tough but um AJ Reto III. The black cement. I'll probably end up searching for it soon.

TLP:

Good Luck Homie. Thanks for your time, and continue to stay dedicated.

KJ:

No problem. Thanks. Keep banging them in the head with that CHIT
