LOCKED - Jordan Member Spotlight #1 - Depeche23Mode

[align=center:df63f27408]*Your Username [b]Depeche23Mode[/b] *Your name and age? [b]Simon Voltaire Tan , 42.[/b] *Your shoe size? [b]Size 9 to collect, size 10 to wear[/b] *Where are you from? [b]Manila[/b] *How long you've been collecting? [b]10 years[/b] *How many Air Jordans / Kicks do you have in your collection? [b]6 pairs[/b] *What s your favorite Jordan?/Least favorite Jordan? [b]My favorite jordan is the home bulls III while my least favorite is XV.[/b] *Do you have any Jordan Grail(s) you've been on the hunt for or achieved? [b]I ain't got much but these 6 pairs that I have in my opinion may not be so valuable but yet not too many collectors have. I always try to make sure that I'm ready if an oppurtunity comes up to own a few more (eminem IV, another undefeated IV unique sample, undefeated IV, motor IV & some other samples) for I still am on a pursue to hunt for grails. Though I know I'm still to far from it, achievement to me is winning a sneaker competition that is why I always try my best in bringing my collection to the next level one step at a time.[/b] *Where do you see Jordan Brand in 10 years? [b]Having at least 10 - 12 pairs sneaker competition ready.[/b] *If you met Tinker Hatfield, what would you say/ask? [b]For his past and future air jordan designs, to me he is worthy to be in the front cover of TIME magazine. I would thank him by saying that I still am one of those millions loyal customers who still goes out to air jordan retailers and spends hard earned cash from time to time. Only if he asks me, I would ask to see if he can make me a 1 of 3 eminem IV or undefeated IV sample colorway but in a III form. Why ask Tink for a 1 of 3.. Well so that 2 other collectors would share the same satisfaction of having it.[/b] *Do you have a collection thread? Link? http://solecollector.com/forums/a-few-of-my-favs/75:4:1129487/p1/ *Another Jordan forum member you look up to? Respect? Look forward to see posting? [b]MJO23DAN for respect, am looking forward to see Phase2s' post(s).[/b] *Who's your favorite Jordan brand team member (past or present) and why? [b]None. They're not Michael.[/b] *As Jordan brand becomes more and more of a global icon, how do you feel about Jordan Brand extending their roots into other sports and even in some cases, the music industry and in your opinion..Should they? [b]No comment, don't care.[/b] *What is your take on the whole early release fiasco that has escalated in the past few years? Where do you stand? [b]I have been a part of that since day one I got tired of it. Owning at least 500+ pairs all DS drove me to a plan of selling all then just keep it to a number no greater than my fingers so I could at least set up a display at home for me to look at. Those 500+ pairs all DS I've had took a whole room no one can see! Senseless in my opinion. Now I am more content just having a few.[/b] [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/5z1a4z.jpg[/IMG] If you would like to be spotlighted, please see [url=http://solecollector.com/forums/OFFICIAL-Jordan-Forum-Member-Spotlight/2:15:1130539/]this thread[/url].

Very good read, and the collection is self-explanatory. I haven't been appalled by a collection in a while, but now that I've seen yours, I see to it that you're one of the silent killers on this forum! :P Keep up the great work! :up: -Imran

Thank you so much for the shout out! Great read for sure, and I do respect your answers to each of the questions! Those Undefeated IV Samples are incredibly rare, especially with that half black midsole! I do have one questions to ask...With all of the hundreds of pairs you have sold over the years, do you regret letting go of any particular pair? Thanks again for sharing your words and pics with us! -Jermaine
