Sneaker freak Nick with his little happy friend (but are those LOAFERS on your feet, Nick?). A letter arrived to Sneaker Nation: I have to vote for my boss Nick Woodhouse as the sneaker freak of the week. He is the lead footwear buyer for Canada's LARGEST sporting goods retailer and owns a LOT of shoes. He knows absoluetely everything about shoes. He'll be walking down the street and can tell people not only which year the shoe was released, but what quarter of the year (as you are probably aware, most manufacturers change their colours frequently). He absolutely lives for shoes. I hear him around the office actually chanting "I can't belive what an incredible job I have. They pay me to be around shoes!!" He is THE sneaker freak of all time in my book. We were preparing to send back some sample shoes and he decided to lay on them just because that was his Nirvana. I can't picture anyone else being more of a sneaker freak than Nick. I read the story of the girl that wore a different shoe every day for two weeks. Nick could EASILY beat that by wearing a different pair of shoes every day of the entire year. I know because I helped him put shelves up in his spare room to accomodate all of his shoes. Up to now I think he has almost every pair of Jordans ever released. He is a sneaker freak. With freak being the operative word. He adores shoes. They are his life... Jared Gorai This may be an attempt by Jared to get a promotion, but I have to agree with him though. Nick derves to be sneaker freak of the week. He has 250 pairs of sneakers - his very first pair were Nike Bruin Canvas. Nick, why do you like sneakers so much? It is a huge business and it helps show individuality in a world of conformity. My life is sneakers, I am a shoe buyer for the largest shoe retailer in Canada so I get to see all of the new stuff months and months before they even come out, I would not know where to start telling you about it. Where do you shop for sneakers? My stores: Forzani's, Sport Chek, Sports Experts Nick's top sneaker belongs to this crazy guy. Your top sneaker of all time? A pair of Air Jordans( XI) with the # 45 on the back (self explantory) Submit your own opinions in the worldwide sneaker report
