Jun 12, 2007 | Comments 0
There is no denying the profound effect that the recent boom in sneaker culture has had on the Culture itself, and, the businesses that it helps fuel. What was once considered a small and "underground" subculture, Sneaker Culture has grown exponentially within the past year, garnering attention from not only thousands of new sneaker enthusiasts, but also, the greater populous. Following in the footsteps of Hip-Hop, Sneaker Culture is in effect, crossing over.
In this KATC Video Feature: A Penny for Your Thoughts with jeffstaple, MaZe sits down with jeffstaple, a devout and passionate OG sneaker connoisseur and the founder of STAPLE Design and The Reed Space, as well as, an internationally recognized designer and consultant, to discuss his feelings regarding the recent boom in sneaker culture from the perspective of an OG, and, an international businessman.

MaZe is the founder of KixandtheCity.com. He has been rocking fresh sneakers since his teenage years in the early 90's. Now, his collection tallies somewhere near 500 pairs and includes everything from GRs, to QSs, to TZs, to 1 of 1s, to PEs, to Friends and Familys, and anything, and everything in between. His favorite sneaker of all time is the Air Jordan VIII. Beyond loving the physical sneaker, MaZe loves the culture behind it. When MaZe is not in front of the PC working on KATC, he's probably copping kix and making moves.
