“When I was 16, I got my first job at The Finish Line where I grew up in Long Island. Ten of us got hired from the track team to work in the local mall. I was just a regular kid, and I enjoyed sneakers, and my parents always let me get the best sneakers for back-to-school. Even if it was one sneaker a year, they let me get the good one. So I was always into sneakers.”
