Ask any sneaker collector about his/her "grails," and prepare to listen to a story. Because, whether they've been found or not, there is definitely going to be one. Sometimes it's all about the quest — a grail found simply means something else becomes a grail, and the quest continues. But sometimes a grail is found, and the quest actually ends.

Check out How I Got My Grails: 10 Industry People Speak On How They Got Their Favorite Sneakers, and feel free to share your own story below.
