What was the moment you first got drawn to sneakers, and which pair of sneakers triggered your passion?

I’ve always liked fashion, and I have always admired how a nice pair of shoes can complete an outfit. Sneakers became a real passion when I got my first job and were actually able to buy them, as we’d never been able to afford stuff like that growing up. I think the first pair that triggered my passion was Fila’s.
