Stepping To Success

by Phin Ball

The 11:10 lunch bell rings and all of the O'Dea students disperse from the campus and head to lunch. A crowd emerges out into the school parking lot and out into the streets. Out of the crowd, there is one student that emerges and stands out from the rest, sporting some flashy shoes.

This student is Matt Linares. Matt has been collecting shoes since the 7th grade and he wears a different pair of shoes every day to school.

His first shoe he bought was the Jordan 1 UNCs, and to this day he collects mainly Jordans and Yeezys. Matt has a vast collection of almost 20 pairs of shoes, his favorite pairs being the Jordan 3 Fire Reds, the Jordan 1 Chicagos, and the Jordan 4 Military Blues.

He acquires these from various internet websites such as StockX and GOAT, but he also buys from shops like the Lucky Dog on the Ave and The Mecca.
