CQ: How many kicks do you have? What got you started?

Over 250 pairs of Nike sneakers and about 30 pairs of dress shoes - Timberlands, etc. I've been wearing the same size since 1993, but really I started seriously in 2002 once I got a real job. This game's not cheap.

CQ: Let's talk fashion. Which shoe for work? For play? For a night out on the town? For date night?

For Work - hard bottoms, ya know Kennth Coles...Bostonian...
For Play, For A Night Out on the Town or for a Date - Whatever I'm feeling. I just have to match the colors, that needs to be right. Jordan Dunks Air Force Ones whatever. I don't discriminate. I have a lot of choices.

CQ: It's the green revolution, and the focus is on recycling. What do you do with you old kicks?

LOL! I don't have any old kicks. Even the old ones from '93 still look new and the ones that "bit the dust" became house shoes or kicks to cut the grass in. I do have the New Jordan 23s which are made with Environment friendly materials as a part of Nike's "Considered Project".

CQ: Do you deliberately taunt friends when you get new kicks? Has a fight ever erupted?

Nah, no taunting. They know I'm the King, LOL! I know saying that I'm the king can be seen as a taunt to others. There are people with more kicks than me. I feel my collection has enough original, rare, limited and exclusive releases to say I'm the King Quality over Quantity. Plus I love Haters. They just let's me know my kick game is proper!

CQ: How many of your friends collect sneakers? Are they a large part of your social group?

Most of my friends like kicks but not like me. I Love it! It's my favorite hobby and everybody that knows me knows that it's my thing

CQ: If you could create an Action Hero that wore kicks, what would his/her name be? What special powers would they have?

There already was an Action Hero that wore kicks...Michael Jordan!
