Name: Mark Stallone
About me: Been a sneakerhead since I was in Year 6, where I first laid eyes on a pair of Nike Air Ultra Force Mids. Instantly I knew, I just had to Have them!
So after school one day before my year 6 farewell, we went to The Athlete’s Foot at Parramatta and I grabbed them. I have been in love with Kicks ever since!
My collection has evolved over the last few years, and I have gone from having mostly Air Jordans, to know diversifying the collection to include trainers from Nike, Adidas, and Asics.
You can check out a lot of my collection on my Instagram.

My top Three sneakers:
1. Nike Air Jordan 6s (Black Infrareds) – There’s really not that much explaining when it comes to “The Greatest Kicks of All Time”. The Black Infrared 6s are my all time favourites, and there’s a bunch of reasons. Firstly, MJ won his first title in these, so instantly these became classics. Watching and experiencing Jordan lead the Bulls to their first ever NBA World Championship wearing these aside, the colours, the shape, the feel, the innovation behind them, and of course how they look, make these my favourite kicks EVER, and yes, I have about six pairs of these…
2. Air Jordan 1 – Hard to pick one colourway in this silhouette, but overall, the kicks that started it all for most people have to be in my top three. Having many, many pairs of these makes it hard to choose which one to rock, but you can’t go past three of the OG Colourways, the Breds, the Royals, and the Shadows, as they go with most clothes. Other than them three, any other OG colourway always look good, but then we have others like the Shattered Backboards and the Jeters, which make this pair all that more special.
3. Adidas Ultra Boost SNS Tee Time – An exceptional collaboration, these just look and feel amazing in every way. Ultra boosts, especially the 1.0 pattern, really do it for me, and I am trying to grab most of the collabs that have come out to go into my collection, but they’re getting harder to obtain by the day, especially in a US12!
