What do you think got you into sneakers?
When I see those guys wearing those dope sneaks, I was thinking it ain’t fair that they are enjoying all the good stuff and we girls can only stand at one corner, drooling and admiring them, I mean the sneaks not the boys. Girls can look good with those sneakers too! It’s not only for guys so when I started out, people were like ‘hey..you have nice sneakers..!’ & it’s a nice feeling to hear that and I decided to start collecting.

How does your age, race or sexual orientation impact your being a sneaker fiend?
My race is Chinese and over here in Singapore, I can say quite few Chinese girls are into this kind of stuff but things are picking up. And being a female sneaker fiend is really one of a kind so they look at us differently, not trying to mess with us.

When did you realize you loved sneakers?
I was actually so called one of those few girls in my school to start wearing those crazy sneakers and girls eventually open up and decided that hey since she can wear it, why can’t I…

Describe the life of a pair of your sneakers.
Usually this is that kind of connection between you and the sneaker. It’s that moment when you see it and you think okay, I’m gonna get that no matter how much you gotta pay for it. When I wear out and back home, I will just put them aside and let them have some ‘fresh-air’ because my shoe need to breathe too. Then the next day I will put them back in the shoe box again.

What’s your favorite sneaker hunting story or success?
My hardest sneaks to track was jedi dunk. It’s absolutely hard to find it. Finally after months n months, my friend got some hook-up somewhere and it was just my size n I got it without second thought. Now..i’m trying to track down roswell raygun. Its sweet. I love the thrill of hunting for it and when you get it, it’s like OH YEAH!..haha..yea..that’s me..

Do you hunt with anyone?
I usually search around with my boy. If not, I’ll do it alone. When I’m alone, I can think more properly whether the sneak is good enough for me to buy.

What do your sneakers say about you?
I’m a street girl! Oh yea…especially to those dudes..! It’s the thrill feeling you’ll get when people acknowledge you as one of those who has real passion for sneakers.
