He watch sneakerhead videos all day
Well if this is you subscribe to the DNA show and we'll take care of all your sneaker head needs
Yo, what's good sneaker family we are back with another
Video for you guys and today we want to do something a little different
we want to have a
conversation about how to become a sneaker head and for us I think this is really important because we get these questions every
single day, especially on catch
We just want to kick some knowledge to you guys and let you guys know
How we became sneaker heads how we can help you out?
So if you guys don't know my name is DJ Misha boy AJ and we are the DNA show
We're ready to kick some knowledge for you guys
So the biggest question like you said is how do I start a sneaker collection?
And how do I get my collection like yours?
First thing I would always say is don't worry about somebody else's collection worry about what you like get what you like
Don't worry about what everybody else says
They like just buy what you like so always start with that because I feel like people get strewn in the wrong direction
Because they want to have a cool collection. Yes real I was robbing right there. No
No, but yes, so I mean especially with the social media age we have, you know, Instagram Facebook
Where you're seeing huge collections, you're seeing off-white everything easy, and these shoes are not cheap whatsoever
No, and it can be really intimidating
Getting into the game
Especially when you want these sneakers. So for us it all started with the first thing is knowledge of the game
Understanding, what's what would you like what you don't like and then going after that we started early in high school
Seriously collecting because our foot finally stopped growing and that's when we really started hunting down sneakers trying to figure out everything about them
And the retro car yeah a huge thing for us. Yeah for me I know in middle school
That's really where my love for the game where he started bass boxes and it became obtainable for me
Like I was actually able like I could see myself buying a pair of sneakers and I bought my first pair of kicks in
Eighth grade and I worked for it not got him
But for me, my love grew for the 7 especially the pair Jordan 7. Okay was a retro car
Yeah, and I don't even like to seven anymore
But that's where I saw the shoe and I was like, I gotta have that
She I think the hair said like Duncan like that. All right. Yeah. Yeah. I already know pop the card up real quick
That card right there. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that was pretty iconic. I can't lie. I need to get that poster
okay, so
Starting a sneaker collection gaining knowledge about all the sneakers that you want to get
Don't just be the guy
That's like all these are cool and I'm getting them cuz everybody else got them learn about the shoe
Understand what it is if you're a real sneaker head and how one of these
hypebeast
Quote-unquote, everybody has a little bit of hyping and we can get on that topic and a whole nother day
just learn about every single sneaker that you really want to learn about that you really want to purchase that you have interested in and
Don't worry about the values that first just worry about what you actually like second
You have to figure out how you could obtain this shoe right in the future or if this is a shoe that has released in
The past and how you can get it 23 is back
Then I hope you use back in the day that was around like oh six where we get to see
What's coming out next the next month all the way out? Probably like six months ahead, right?
We don't like plan ahead and make sure we stack for that one shoe now
It's j23 app. If you don't have the app go ahead and purchase it
I think it does cost now it didn't when I got it, but it does now
But that's for sure release it actually really stayed up. Yeah for Jordan's and Nikes is perfect
And this is not a sponsorship for that
we just actually do recommend that use that if you'd like to purchase it what's gonna be the next step so you
Got you know what do I want? How do I get it? And at the end of the day it comes down to?
Copping that first pair of shoes, right? You have to be able to save up your coins
Save your pesos your dinero. Yeah, make sure that you get your coin save it up and for me
What was easiest was to say? I got this one shoe box?
I got this one box in the corner that I don't touch like I don't matter if I wanted candy that day
Yeah, if I wanted some chips
I make sure that I put my dollar bills any extra dollars that I have put in that shoe box
Store it away and I didn't even touch it back in middle school. I used to actually hustle donuts out of my locker
Oh my god
I used to sell Donuts out of my locker from the local donut shop down the street from us Canalis
It was over by my favorite house
there's a donut shop over there and I used to hustle the donuts every single day and I would make about like 10 bucks a
Week which like wasn't much but it was adding up because close to the end a month on my clock
I like another 50 bucks and I was like saving all money doing stuff like that
So you can always find a way to make money for sure
It's never not an option to make money like you just gotta actually be willing to figure it out drugs
Yeah
So that hustle it has to be real but it even in I mean if you're patient enough
Your birthday comes around you have some money, you know, I mean depending on your situation, you know
I was able to get money every time I had a
You know a birthday I get 20 30 bucks here and there and then Christmas would come around and get some money
So stash it away whenever you got some extra cash stash it away. If you have a hustle stash it away, so
Being able to have my sneaker money
Separate from my just regular lunch spending money right when I'm at school, you know
I just make sure that I keep those separate and I'm able to stack that way. Yeah, so don't be starving
oh, so just because she's
Never a Sue's but it's always option. And another thing I would say we're gonna reference in a later video
Is being patient you have to be really patient when it comes to this sneaker collecting game
Trust me, when I tell you this you'll find out about it later. We have some months we talked about years. Be patient
Trust me, cuz I'm being patient right now on some stuff that I've been one for years, but I gotta be patient
Right, right. So a huge thing
Yep, like I said for me it was making sure that I understood what it is that I like
understood how I can obtain that now you have
Facebook Instagram all the type of different outlets. Yeah, make sure that you're knowledgeable enough to understand
What's real and what's not and go through different outlets like stock eggs
Grilled and your local sneaker shops to purchase ya don't purchase
Blindly, not understanding what you're getting into
So that's yeah, that's a huge thing
If if it's dot, whatever I don't even know they can have a very chic side cool
nice hole slash light
Gear slash like don't buy from those websites. Trust me if it's too good to be true
Idiot shootin good to be true. Like there's no way you're gonna get some Easy's for 112 dollars in 99 cent
I mean, we we dedicated ourselves to being collectors and our first sneaker was what sophomore year in high school
Yeah, we say that we're gonna really we're gonna collect from this point on. Yeah. That was a dope moment
