Favourite sneaker release of 2020: Jordan 4 Off White 'Sail' no doubt. Very clean colorway and i really like the Jordan 4s. Even if I don't wear them myself
Name: Milo
Job: I am an all-round media intern. My project at the moment is making videos about customizing where I show and tell the viewers on YouTube how to start customizing, what products you need, where you can buy them and what you can do to improve your customs. There will be 7 editions in this series of tutorials and within that number of editions I will be making a custom pair of Sneakerjagers shoes
Best part of working at SJ: I think the part that I can make videos and express my creativity. I really love making videos and the part that in the videos I teach others about my hobby and experience in customizing. I also really like the way of working at Sneakerjagers. It really feels like a team. If I have a question everyone helps me and they are all nice to me but at the same time professional. I really like how Sneakerjagers get so many sneakers and that I can see all of them
Where did your passion for sneakers start: When I was a kid and the moment I could choose my first own pair of sneakers. It always was my favourite part of the outfit. I never really bought a lot of sneakers because my mom was financing my clothes. The moment I first got to know about some exclusive sneakers and about personalizing sneakers my passion for sneakers really started
How many sneakers did you buy this year: I haven’t bought any sneakers for myself this year because I want to save and spend money to improve my business or to do fun things with friends. I bought a pair of Nike Air Force 1 SAGE for my girlfriend that I will be customizing as a Christmas present. Oh, and I bought a pair of vans that I customized in a Bape camo shark theme. So maybe 2-3 pairs for myself. If I had the opportunity to buy more sneakers I would. And that would be a pair of Nike x Sacai or Nike x OffßWhite or Yeezys or maybe something to customize
Favourite sneaker release of 2020: That’s a hard question. Because I’m more into customizing sneakers and because I don’t spend much money to buy loads of sneakers. I guess i would choose a pair of Nike x Off-Whites, maybe the Rubber Dunks or the Yeezy Black/Red. I got an L on both haha but I thought they were nice. Or maybe a pair of Cactus Jack x Nike or Dior x Air Jordan 1.
