sneakHer stories with @myinitialsMTB

Introducing a new series where we ask female sneaker enthusiasts to share their sneaker trials and triumphs.
The question we posed to these ladies is: what is your most impactful sneaker pick-up?

Catch up with @myinitialsMTB to see which super galactic sneaker pick-up rocked her collection

Explain to me, back in the day, what kid didnʼt like Loony Tunes? I could sit in

front of the TV for hours watching Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and especially Tazmanian

Devil. That show was my quiet drug. Now my hyper pill was watching the Bulls games

with my dad. I still remember clearly every TV in the house being turned all the way up

just as the announcer said: “AND NOW FOR YOUR CHICAGO BULLS” and me bouncing

around the room like a kid right before a sugar crash. Mix the two together and a never

ending high ran through my veins.

The Space Jam movie was all I could talk about for weeks. I think I lost count

how many times I saw that movie before it left theaters and I also believe my mom got so

tired of seeing it she did something to my video. Finally, a collaboration between

basketball and Warner Broʼs, OMG! The shoe was just icing on my cake. I already am

in love with the Jordan XI model, and blue is my favorite color. Yep, my heart melted

when I first saw these. Too bad I couldnʼt get me a pair back then, but I surely did cop in

2009.

Honestly I think the Finishline people wanted to blow my brains out. From the

moment I knew these shoes where rereleasing, I bothered those people. I donʼt do

campoutʼs so I had to be sure my pair was on lock. I had everything planned, my shoe

was on hold, and the mall opened at like 7.  Being a mall employee I was in there before the

crowd, put in an early entry form and because my connect at the time was the store

manager, I was in the store before the lights where even turned on. All my XI wishes

came true; eventually.

What is not to like about the tuxedo shoe, sporty with a touch of formality. The

Jordan XI was the first pair to feature patent leather and you gotta love simplicity of the

shoe. For me, aside from the aforementioned, I tend to be a sucker for all black, and I

love the small dash of color. Plus in itʼs own way, this shoe brought back a small piece of

my childhood. It may not be my favorite shoe, but it definitely holds a special place in my

heart.
