Harking back to the days when Cross Colors and Karl Kani rocked the block, UK’s finest Kish fiended only the best and bulkiest trainers known to mankind. Obsessing over the burgeoning culture that was to become hip hop, Kish sought out to imitate his heroes by rocking Foamposites, Air Zoom LWP, Zoom Flight, Muscle Max, Air Shake Ndestrukt, Adidas EQT Top Ten 2000... A true iconoclast in the hype-driven world we live in these days, Kish is definitely a dude who knows his own steez and reps one of the freshest collections we have seen to date. Check his fresh!
How do you define vintage?
Vintage used to be a definable term but over the years I think it has become a subjective opinion. For me I guess anything over ten years of age. A more accurate way of defining the age of a sneaker is probably to say it’s OG or the decade of issue e.g. seventies etc. I grew up in a small town outside of London called Aylesbury in the seventies. Both hip hop and football played a heavy influence on my life. I am a product of my environment as anyone else, so I guess when and where I hung out would have had a bearing on my tastes. I was always into both runners and basketball kicks. I would want the Vandals and Penetrators that the Rock Steady Crew wore but could never obtain, as well as the New Balance and adidas that my older mate Rob wore to play football in. In fact Rob was ahead of the game when it came to sneakers, he always had the freshest runners at that time.-----sneaker freaker magazine
