Sneaker Collector

Once in a while we will highlight people born in Brooklyn that are doing  something different!

I had the pleasure of interviewing Anthony Cassetta born in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn. I want to call him a Master Sneaker Collector that just happens to work for the US Army as a Paratrooper.

His vibrant yet bold personality makes you wonder what is it about his love for sneakers?

Q: What inspired your love for sneakers?

A: Sneakers have always been a part of Brooklyn’s style. I grew up loving basketball and the greatest (BROOKLYN BORN) Michael Jordan. Sneakers were a gateway drug into photography. Through social media I have been able to merge photography with my love for sneakers.

Tony also happens to be part of a larger group of sneaker collectors that go by the name of the Sneaker Head Cartel (SHC). SHC is an exclusive alliance consisting of ten men who are the dopest sneakerheads that also happen to be handy with the camera.

Q: Favorite Sneaker?

A: Definetly the Black Cement 3. One of the most Iconic colorways of all time! The Elephant print is so dope! If I had to walk away from the game right now, it would be in a pair of BC3s!

Q: How many sneakers do you own?

A: I never really count, but I think I am just north of 215 pairs. I wear all my kicks and encourage all other people to do the same!
