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.

MaZe....you do it again sir! These will be dope once they drop. Are they going to be released at major retailers?
Incredible concept...great interview...unfortunetly this wont sell at all...and its really sad...Cats line up for fusions..sleep in the streets cause Nike says there limited this...quickstike that..but when it comes to really appreciating the legacy and history of sneakers, sneaker obession, and being a sneakerhead..no one cares...The biggest strike that these have against them is (which he alluded too) they are targeting an audience that sees ProKeds in the same light as Fila, Pony, and Saucony...These are brands that are not relevant in todays space...The endorsement by Bobbito is also not relevant because he is not relevant to the target audience....My generation (30+) may even have a hard time with these because ProKeds was our generations "skippies"...Ill cop, not to rock, but Ill cop because its important to the know the history....just not at full price...lol
MIC & Digi -- I am sooo proud of you! Get them kicks boys!
