What's going on, AMFAM! Here goes my application.
I've been a longtime lurker with this thread and the original one before it. Members here really treat one another like family, which is real illy. I've never wanted to be a part of a "team" on the internet, but this team is definitely an exception.
My name is Raymond, and I'm located in Daly City (10 minutes from SF) and Sacramento.
I've been "collecting" since late 2001 / early 2002. To be honest, I didn't consider casually wearing an AM and adding it to my collection until the Nike dropped the HOA campaign in 2005. Like the masses of members of NT and other sneaker forums, I purchased a pair of the Infrared90s. Numerous months later, sleepers from the HOA campaign began to hit outlets for $40 and under. At this point, I was a pretty overweight kid (45 pounds to be exact), and I wanted to shed the weight. There couldn't be a more fitting time to purchase some new runners for better health. I purchased the Women's HOA 93 (Limes) HOA 95 (Grapes), in hopes of becoming healthy. I thought the investment wouldn't be that bad because if I quit, I'd have a nice pair to wear casually. Months pass, MANY miles were logged, my AMs looked worse and worse after every run, but, most importantly, I lost the that extra 40 pounds. AMs, especially the two mentioned, were the stepping stone to better health for me, and they will be kept as a daily reminder that hard work pays off. Ever since then, I sold many sneakers to get funds for AMs because they looked real good and were lighter compred to most of the AF1s and basketball sneakers I was wearing.
I wear a size 8-8.5. My favorite AM is the 90 with the 1 and 95 not far behind. My AM Grails are Undefeated 90iDs / 1iDs, Viotech 1iDs and Atmos Safaris. I've sold about 10 pairs of AMs / runners in the past (some of which I greatly regret selling)... Aquamarine Huarache Lights, Lime90s that I customized to have the same blocking as the Infrareds (a few weeks after the project was completed, AMs were available for iDs) and Huf1s.
Here's my collection. I know I don't have serious stuff like you all here, but I'm pretty humble with it.
Front Row (L->R): Infrareds, Women's HOA 90s, Friendly Footballs, Copper / Pinks
Second Row: Slate 95s, Coral Pegasus, HOA 180, Escape93s.
Back: PennyIIiDs, Clerks, Atmos, Huarache
Most recent pick-ups. Crepe90 & QS AM1
