TH: Of all the materials used on sneakers nowadays (leather, suede, patent leather, elephant print, cement print, etc.) which one makes you have to buy a certain pair and why?
JOHNNY: I'd say quality leather and the hyperfuse material. They seem to last and not turn yellow from moisture and heat.
TH: What one thing bothers or bugs you the most about the current state of the sneaker game?
JOHNNY: Probably the resellers , They make if hard for a person to just go out and buy their favorite pair of sneakers without camping overnight or standing in lines for countless hours. Smh damn resellers.

JOHNNY: Jordan's I'd have to go with some white cement 3s or black cement 3s. Sorry can't choose lol. I'm not a fan of lebrons anymore but I guess South Beach 9s. SBs would be the Ferris Bueller SB Dunks and Air Max would have to be Infrared 90's.
