Sneakerhead of the Week: Jauhonn Tolbert-Patterson

His love for Nike is Serious!
Jauhonn Tolbert-Patterson


This weeks Sneakerhead is Jauhonn Tolbert-Patterson. Another sneakerhead from my hometown, Grand Rapids, MI. I've known Jauhonn all my life...literally. He's like a big cousin. I heard through the grapevine that he had some heat. He's been collecting shoes since 2004, he has over 90 pairs of Air Jordans and Nikes. "Even though I rock a lot of SB dunks, my favorite pair of shoes would probably be my DMP VIs or Carmine VIs." His advice to the up and coming sneakerheads, "The advice I would give to the younger or newer heads would be to buy what you like. When I 1st started, I was all about getting the shoe that was hyped up. Now I just buy what I like. Sometimes I go months without copping just because I don't like what's being released." I agree with Jauhonn, don't be a "hypebeast." Check out some more of Jauhonns collection after the jump.

Release Reminder: Air Jordan Retro 3 White/Cement




Jordan Brand is starting off the year right with the release of one my personal favorite Jordans. The Air Jordan retro 3 will be releasing in less than a week, Jan.22. 2011 to be exact. This is a classic colorway of an iconic shoe. For those of you that don't know this is the shoe Michael Jordan wore when he beat Dominique Wilkins in the 1988 dunk contest. Enough on the history, grab your pair next Saturday. They are a general release so they won't be that hard to pick up. I know most Footlockers, Champs and Finislines will have them. My good friends are Studiiyo23 will have them also! Retail on these are $150! Good luck everyone!

How Times Have Changed...

"In about five years from now, probably $5,000 for these shoes." Not quite bro, 10 years later we only paid $175. (Inflation is a bitch!)

Brandon: The Son. Brother. Uncle. Sneakerhead. The Man!

This is an introduction I guess. I'm a 20 yr old college student. Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan moved to the Twin Cities when I was 6 or something like that. I guess I'm a 'sneakerhead' but really all I buy is Jordans, so technically I'm a 'Jordanhead.' Really don't like talking about myself that much. My blog will consist of things that I like; Shoes, music, women and my thoughts.
