For the 4th edition of Kick Spotlight we come back to my hometown of Kansas City to bring you Patrick M. Oddly enough, Patrick and I met through a Instagram even though we live in the same city. Patrick's collection initially caught my eye because we was able to grab some Nike SBs that I wasn't able to, including the exclusive versions of the "Finally" and "Brooklyn Projects" Nike SBs. As a big sports fan myself, Patrick's support of Sporting Kansas City has helped further our acquaintance. Be sure to follow him on Instagram and Twitter to keep up with some of his "Top Takes."

What is the first shoe that you remember buying, or that started it all for you?
Adidas Superstar 1
I would have to say that Adidas Superstar 1s started it all for me as a teenager. Having a nice, clean pair of sneakers on was always important to me, but collecting sneakers didn’t start until much later.
What's your favorite part of the sneaker culture?
I like how it is constantly changing and evolving. If you miss a release, there is always something better around the corner. Also, the friends I have made throughout the years.
What's your least favorite part of the sneaker culture?
Hmm, where do I begin? First and foremost, killing someone for any reason is despicable. I don’t want to be associated in any way with the people out there killing each other for a pair of sneakers. As far as purchasing sneakers, the bots and resellers have been irritating. Also, overall quality has dropped significantly over the past 3 years or so.
How many shoes would you say you own?
My collection has been up and down recently, but I would say around 30 pairs at the moment.
What's your favorite sneaker brand?
Probably Nike SB. I like how much design freedom they have (when they use it)
What's the hardest part of getting shoes where you live?
I am able to get mostly everything I want, but I hate the super limited releases at Nike. It hate when they drop a shoe at 6 stores in the U.S. and there is no online release.
What're your top 3 sneakers in your collection?
Heel Shot of the Brooklyn Projects x Nike SB Exclusive
Depends on how you define “top”, but my favorites are: Kobe 8 Mambacurial, LeBron X Area 72, and probably my Brooklyn Projects SBs.
What're the top 2 sneakers you wish you had most?
Teen Wolf Nike SB
I would like to have the Nike Air Mags because Back to the Future is my all-time favorite movie and the Teen Wolf SBs.
What's the 1 sneaker you'd like to see re-released?
Not to be redundant, but I want to see the Air Mags release in 2015 to commemorate Back to the Future 2.
What's the first thing you look at when you open up a new box of shoes?
Patrick's RF x Asics "ECP Knicks"
I look them over very thoroughly actually. I make sure there aren’t major flaws. Then, I’ll snap a picture and play around with photo-editing apps.
What's your favorite material on a shoe?
Peewee Herman Nike SBs
A really nice suede. I have Peewee Herman SBs and the suede is extremely soft.
What's your most memorable campout?
I camped out all night for a friend of mine actually. I was waiting on a pair of Jordan VI’s and Champs sold out of his size right before I got to the counter. I ended up going to a different store hoping they were getting them and waiting another 2 hours. I ended up getting them for my friend who traded them a month later, haha.
What's the next shoe that you have your eye on?
The upcoming Nike Foamposite One "Doernbecher" (Nov. 23)
