How it is that you have such a solid collection: Well my Collection actually got smaller because I started to give away and sell most of the stuff I never wore and didn't care about. About 10 pairs of my sneakers went to Haiti for this sneaker relief we had at R. SOLE. I found myself buying things just because the price was good and I felt I couldn't pass up a good deal. Now I cop at least 3-4 pair a month. Catching up with the needs within my collection instead of the just wants.

10. Nike Dunk High "Mita"
Adrian says: "I have a decent number of dunks but these are by far the best detailed dunk ever."

9. Nike Blazer High Premium "Glow in the Dark Edition"
Adrian says: "My first blazer, the best blazer (in my opinion) and now my only blazer. I gave up on them a long time ago because they aren't that comfortable."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Air Jordan Retro VI "Doernbecher"
Adrian says: "Must have! There was so much detail on this sneaker I had to get it."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Nike Air Max 1 Supreme "Tech Pack"
Adrian says: "These go with everything in my wardrobe. Out of all my air max's they get the most play. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Nike SB Dunk Low Premium "Lobster"
Adrian says: "Even though I didn't get my hands on the wooden case edition, I still cherish these anyway."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Air Jordan Retro 3 "True Blue"
Adrian says: "The Jordan 3 is by far the most comfortable Jordan ever! A pair of selvage denim sits perfectly on them."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Nike Air Max Lebron VII "All-star"
Adrian says: "I always said there will never be another basketball shoe another then the Jordan 1-13's that will look good with jeans until the Air Max Lebron VII dropped. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Nike Air Yeezy
Adrian says: "I nick named these "memory lane" because these were the 1st sneakers I camped out for. Me and a friend started up the first St. Louis camp out for sneakers for these. "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Air Jordan Retro XI "Defining Moments Pack"
Adrian says: "I got this whole pack on a whim! If I told you all the price I will probably be hunted down. These have never seen the sun and I've had them close to 2 yrs now."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Air Jordan Retro VIII "Aqua"
Adrian says: "By far the best best Jordan ever! I wear these the most out of all my J's and its amazing how well they hold up. I'm working on copping my 2nd pair."
