A love for sneakers that began with the AJ11
- Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
totty_boost: My name is totty_boost. I mainly post about my favorite sneakers and apparel on Instagram.
- What made you become interested in sneakers?
totty_boost: When I was a junior high school student playing basketball, I asked my parents to buy me the original Jordan 11s worn by my idol Michael Jordan. Since then, I have been fascinated with not only basketball shoes but also sneakers, and before I knew it, collecting sneakers had become a hobby for me.
- How many pairs of sneakers do you own?
totty_boost: About 500 pairs, including models that have hydrolyzed and can no longer be worn.
Memories that nurtured my love for sneakers
-What are your favorite sneakers and why?
totty_boost: "Air Foamposite One Supreme SP". When the release was leaked, I thought there was no way anyone would wear such a flashy sneaker in two colors, so I lined up the day before and struggled to get my hands on this model.
I remember wearing them in red and black the day I bought them, and thanks to that, people started to think of these shoes as the shoes for totty_boost. And it was this model that started me wearing all kinds of shoes (laughs).
- What is your most memorable sneaker and why?
totty_boost: "Air Jordan 11 Concord Original." If my parents hadn't bought me this original AJ11 back then, I might not have grown to like sneakers.
This is the pair that made "totty_boost".
If I hadn't come across these sneakers, I don't think I would have met so many different people or had so many different experiences related to sneakers.
My encounter with KicksWrap products
- What was the first KicksWrap product you used and what made you decide to use it?
totty_boost: "KicksWrap Premium." I saw some sneakers covered in shrink wrap at a certain sneaker shop and wanted to be able to store my own hydrolyzed sneakers and those I bought for decoration in a similar way without them losing their shape, and that's how I discovered KicksWrap.
- What are the good points of KicksWrap Premium?
totty_boost: It blocks UV rays from natural light and room lighting, and the film is sturdy so it won't tear unless something really bad happens.
You can store your delicate collection with peace of mind.
- Can you tell us all the KicksWrap products you have used so far?
totty_boost: "KicksWrap Premium", "Dryers", "Waterproof Spray", "Foam Shoe Care"
What is your favorite KicksWrap product and why?
totty_boost: "KicksWrap Premium" and "Dryers". I don't keep most of my sneakers at home and I'm very careful about storing them, so Dryers are very useful. KicksWrap Premium also protects my precious sneakers from UV rays, so even if I can't wear them anymore, I can store them in a beautiful condition without losing their shape, which is convenient.
- Why did you choose and continue to use KicksWrap?
totty_boost: Regular shrink wrap is thin and easily torn, but KicksWrap's film is sturdy and easy to handle, and I want to keep my important models in the best possible condition.
-How did you discover KicksWrap?
totty_boost : I knew about them on Instagram and other places, but I had never been able to get my hands on their products. Then, when they had a stand at Sneaker Con, a friend recommended them to me, saying, "Totty, you might need this." That's how I discovered KicksWrap Premium.
- How did you learn to use KicksWrap?
totty_boost : I wrapped the piece while watching KicksWrap's YouTube video.
You can take good care of your hydrolyzed sneakers too
- Can you tell us what you found good about using KicksWrap?
totty_boost : Hydrolysis is unavoidable, but I think this is a good thing as it allows you to store sneakers that would otherwise fall apart due to hydrolysis without losing their shape.
- What are your thoughts on your future relationship with KicksWrap?
totty_boost : There are products that are necessary whether you wear your favorite sneakers or just store and admire them without wearing them, so I think I'll use them as long as I keep chasing my favorite sneakers.
- Can you tell us what social media sites you use?
totty_boost : Instagram, Threads, and X

I was amazed by the extraordinary number of sneakers he owned, and his attitude of taking good care of his sneakers even after they had been hydrolyzed and the care he took in storing them made me realize he was an avid sneakerhead.
