brunoI started collecting, actually I’m not really a collector, I started caring a lot about sneakers when I was able to afford my own shoes when I started working and getting my own money. Back then, I used to dig Vans, I thought that Nike and Adidas were too sporty, I was a little prejudiced. So with my first salary, I bought a red Vans Authentic and the black one, both classics.

brunoIt’s like I said, I didn’t like Adidas or Nike because I thought they were too sporty. But a friend of mine really liked them and she was a collector, so I changed the way I looked at sneakers. I liked the way she wore them and the models she had, so I went and bought my first Air Max, it wasn’t too basic, but it was all black with some details. From that moment on I fell in love with the silhouette, and started going after other versions, and I saw what a really good looking shoe they were, even though they’re not the most comfortable. And when I saw this Atmos Safari I thought, “damn, these gotta be the best looking ones, I have to have one some day!”. Until the day came when they were for sale on “I Love Sneakers”, my size and on a good price, so I didn’t think twice.

brunoThey are quite new, I bought them a little over a month ago, and I noticed they’re a sneaker that everyone on the street looks at them differently, I don’t know if they think they look good if they think they’re different, or they just don’t recognize them. They’re not the regular sneaker that you’ll find at a Nike store, so I found out that people really look at them differently. For example, you guys from Kickstory, you approached me because I was wearing them, they’re sneakers that generate interaction.
