Inchon aka Baby Shoes is one of Kasina’s sales guys, but he’s also the unofficial sneaker champ in Korea (I just gave him that title). He’s worked with every shoe company imaginable from Nike to Onitsuka, and has more friends in the shoe industry than Imelda Marcos. A few years ago, he was up to 400+ pairs of sneakers when a tagger burglarized his home and jacked his entire collection. The dude ended up behind bars but the shoes had already been flipped, so Inchon re-evaluated his situation and decided to — what else — collect baby Jordans. He’s up to over 200 pairs of baby shoes, and for some strange reason, keeps a drawer-full at his cubicle. “Sneakers are my LIFE!,” he told me yesterday. Indeed.
Oh yeah, and this is CHOON.
