Confessions of a Sneaker Addict![]() Here's an old school article I've been searching for some time now It's the classic "Confessions of a Sneaker addict" by Bobbito Garcia. The feature was published in a 1991 issue of the Source and pretty much catapulted Bobbito onto Nike's radar. (thanks to Frank_Stoney for posting it in the forums.) This year has not only seen the 25 anniversary celebration of the AF1 but it's been a big year for Bobbito, as well, who is pretty much the official spokesman for the model and now has several AF1 designs under his belt. This guy is the best example of a prosumer - consumer turned producer (consultant). Getting paid to do what you love, it doesn't get much better than that. |
