We’re back with another instalment of 5Qs and 5As, the interview series where we sit down with members of Team KLEKT. Today, we’re going to meet one of the biggest sneakerheads in Bavaria, Pasi aka @pvxi.1. If you’re interested in sneakers and gaming, then Pasi is the guy for you. As an avid collector, he’s been copping rare shoes for the better part of a decade, though he’s been interested in the game for far longer.
Today, we’ll be finding out more about Pasi. We’ll jump into his earliest sneaker memories, what was the first shoe that really got him involved in collecting and just how much he spent on a pair of Nike Air Yeezys 2s. As always, make sure you follow Pasi on socials as there will be a special promotion running for his followers this weekend. Without further delay, this is 5Qs and 5As with @pvxi.1!
Hi, it’s great to have you here. Can you please introduce yourself?
Hi guys, my name is Pasi, I’m 29 years old and I’m from Bavaria, Germany. I love sneakers and gaming, so you can follow me on Instagram and Twitch for the latter!
How did your passion for sneakers start?
My passion for sneakers began at the beginning of the 2000s. I really wanted the Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” but it was too expensive. Today I own over 50 pairs of Air Jordan 1s and I wear every single one.
What are your top three releases of 2021?
My Top 3 Releases in 2021 are:
- Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1
- fragment design x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1
- Off-White x Nike Dunk Low “Dear Summer”
What is the most you have spent on a sneaker?
The most I’ve paid was €1000 for a new Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Platinum”. For me, this shoe represented a great era of fashion with people like Kanye and A$AP Rocky and brands like Virgil Abloh’s PYREX VISION. I really loved and miss those days!
Can you tell us the top five pairs in your collection?
The top five pairs from my collection are:
- Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Platinum”
- Off-White x Nike Air Jordan 1 “Chicago”
- Air Jordan 1 High OG “LA to Chicago”
- Travis Scott x Nike SB Dunk Low “JackBoys”
