QCP #012 | Why do we collect things? | Chino, Sneaker King of the North

GUEST BIO

What is it about our collections that take up spaces in our lives?

Meet Chino - The owner of the largest sneaker collection I’ve ever seen.

He comes all the way to us from Edmonton, Canada by way of the Philippines. He’s a loving husband, father of two boys, a working man who does whatever it takes to make an honest living to care for his family.

A few years ago, I had the chance to see in person an entire storage basement full of sneakers, jerseys, and sports memorabilia. And after having this conversation, it reminded me of the importance of culture, no matter what form it takes, in helping us come together, and integrate with the world around us.
