Hello Team Am Fam...

Where to start...

Little bit about me... My name is Rich, I'm 28 years old and I live in Brisbane, Australia. My family and I moved here from Northern Ireland when I was about 7 and have lived here ever since. I work as a Spray painter, Mainly fixing up cars that have been damaged in an accident but sometimes we get to do race/show cars aswell. Not a very air max friendly job but it does help pay for them...

I've always been a sneaker fan, would generally buy 4-5 pairs a year which at the time I thought was fairly excessive, Nothing really special, just stuff I’d see in footlocker that would grab my eye. As a kid I’d always wanted some Jordan’s or air max but my parents refused. Jordan's were a definite no no due to the price and every time I’d ask for air max mum would say no because she was afraid the bubbles would burst lol...

I ended up buying my first pair of air max when i was about 11 or 12 with some money i got for christmas...Have no idea what they were but they defiantely had bubbles :) Basically I’d say I 'officially' started collecting sneakers in 2008. I was fairly into Adidas for a while before that... once again nothing special just random models. I eventually bought a pair of AM's for nostalgia reason's I guess and it's just spiralled from there...

At the moment I have around 60 pairs in my air max collection .Obviously 87's are my favourite. Nothing compared to a lot of your collections but it's growing on a weekly basis. There's so many pairs that I need to get but not enough pay cheques unfortunately. I have a lot of other shoes that I need to sell. Purely because I need the room And they aren't really seeing much wear these day's anyway...

Well I guess that's pretty much it. I hope I didn't bore you too much. So if you guys don't mind having another Aussie in the FAM I’d love to join...

Thanks for considering my application...
