-Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

My name is FUKA. I've been playing basketball since I was a student, and I love basketball shoes and sneakers.

I work for a company and enjoy thinking about what shoes to wear when playing basketball, commuting, or going out.

I am currently learning how to paint basketball shoes and sneakers. I am still a beginner when it comes to sneakers. Thank you in advance.

-What made you become interested in sneakers?

FUKA: When I first started watching the NBA, I was surprised to see players wearing the Air Force 1s that I usually see!

From then on, I became interested in the player (Rasheed Wallace) and developed a love for the Air Force 1.

I was a student at the time, and when I started working, I started saving up for shoes little by little and bought them, and that's when I started thinking about what I would wear when going out every day.

I wear different kinds of basketball shoes so I can just enjoy playing basketball.

-How many pairs of sneakers do you own?

FUKA: About 30 pairs.

-What are your favorite sneakers and why?

FUKA: Air Force 1 x LeBron James

This is a collaboration with NBA representative LeBron, and I love the LeBron logo and checkered pattern, which makes it different from other Air Force 1s.

These were also the first shoes I ever purchased through a lottery on a sneaker app, and I think this made me even more interested in sneakers.

-How did you discover KicksWrap?

FUKA: I found out about it when an ad came across it while I was browsing Instagram and YouTube.

-What was the first KicksWrap product you used and what made you decide to use it?

FUKA: Form Shoe Care Kit.
As I have been collecting a lot of different shoes, I realized that I haven't been able to take good care of them, so I bought this product because I wanted to start taking better care of them so that I can wear them for a long time and keep them looking nice.

FUKA

I'm curious about the model that someone else is wearing. I think this is something that all sneaker lovers can relate to. I have often thought that I wanted "that" sneaker that someone else was wearing. I'm enjoying basketball and sneakers, and I would like to find a hobby that I can do in parallel with sneakers.
