Small Town Sneakerheads
Jordan Taylor & Deja
In this episode of Hibbett x Nike's Small Town Sneakerhead series, meet Nevada cousins and sneaker collectors Jordan and Deja!
Sneaker collecting runs in the family for Jordan and Deja. Like they say, cousins who collect kicks together, step out in style together. Whether bonding over their latest cops or shopping together at their local Hibbett store, the 13- and 25-year-old small town sneakerheads from Nevada find that sneakers keep the two of them connected, despite their age gap.
Jordan, age 13, says her father instilled in her a passion for sneakers, and her cousins, like Deja and sneaker designer Aleali May, keep heat on her feet. Among Jordan's collection are Nike Air Max Pluses, Air Jordan 1s, "Millennial Pink" Jordan 6s, and style staples: Air Force Ones.
Deja's collection consists of the AJ 13 Retro "Starfish," Nike Zoom Vomero running shoes, and dozens of other styles she says most other sneakerheads might not like.
That's just one more thing that Jordan and Deja have in common, the duo says. They don't just cop what's trending. They collect sneakers they genuinely like and want to wear.
Because she is older, Deja feels like she can be an influence in Jordan's life beyond their shared love of sneakers, but their passion for collecting is a great place to start.
