In the sticks where no one can find me but still splashing on em’

When the healer needs healing ❤️. Strength is not about being unbreakable, but about acknowledging vulnerability and seeking replenishment.

As we gear up for Puerto Rican day and having a rough week, reflecting on my contributions to my culture and the sneaker community. If you really know me my AIM name was 718sneakerqueen. I posted kicks on AIM, Sneaker Play, MySpace, Facebook etc. Any social platforms I ever touched was sneaker embodied and immersed. And I’m grateful for the journey and inspiration this has presented. (And no background music needed🐶 snoring is ✨)

At age 4, Fate lead us to meet on the first day of kindergarten wearing the same sweater. ❤️💋🫡💪🏽 @angelab2890

Proof of sneaker life……… a few mixes of some new and some old 👟.

Throwback’s From The Vault: A Memoir: Let me set the scene, I started High School at 13 years old in the 90s. I took the train to Union Square everyday and SoHo, Downtown Brooklyn, 125th, 145th, Fordham, Delancey, Chambers shopping was my mfken playground. NYC style wasn’t defined yet. Streetwear was exploratory as second generation Hip Hop lovers. All the drip superstars knew each other. Fashion was regional by borough and I was in every borough. 🥶 I loved my individuality. The goal as a culture was to dress unique, we didn’t want to dress like each other. I loved texture, material and bold designs. I loved to mix high end designer with local streetwear brands. I was the first girl in Bushwick with the women’s NorthFace Extreme. I dragged my father to tent and trails to pay $450. 😂 Was it me or was Washington Irving High School a fashion show? How we were so young getting so fly? Idk but we were a movie 🎥 A bunch of kids starting early movements, killing designer and launching NY street style into what would influence global fashion for generations. What a time!? Same for sneakers anddddd add I had to be first. I remember being early with Bo Jackson’s and “LT” shouted me out on the block “ Yo Jas, those are Pink Bo’s?” I copped Flint 13s 3 months early in 97. Early 90s was my Reebok Freestyle love affair then late 90s Air Max 95 & 97 were my whole ❤️. I adored Women’s colorways of every sneaker air max deluxe, air pillars, Jordan’s, TNs, etc. But we will check that in Vol. 2. * apologies to my brother, I used to steal his jersey’s to tailor them into dresses! My Jersey dress was 98-99. Mya did that in 2000. Late 90s used to run around the roc office on 5th Avenue, def jam (was a wild place), trackmasters, hot 97 with Mooney & Star (we were marketing brats). Everyone knew me then for kicks and till this day. Hi, I’m Jixie , my friends call me Jas. I’ve walked and stacked every model sneaker for 30+ years and I have one room of sneakers older than current sneakers lovers. I’m your favorite collector’s, blog and brands inspiration. I’ve purchased my entire collection, and I take my sneaker game seriously. It’s my sport and my art. xXx, J

This past weekend we celebrated the birthday of a real one. We came up in this game together and it wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows… Grown. Sexy. Puerto Rican. There’s very few who can get me back in my Henny bag and in the Bronx 😭 but Yeah @airkarinabx23 she’ll always do it. Thank you for being a real sole sister, through every era 🖤 (and these AF1 Tisci’s was a vibe)

Big NY energy … 🍎🗽

Soft, sexy, and still stepping in A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 12. Sporty + sexy don’t got a size limit & never did. This season? I’m focused on me. Growth, transition, elevation… all of it. And I look good doing it. And to my girls? Take up space. We can be soft and solid. We can be half Carrie Bradshaw half hypebeast half trapper. We are all of it and we’re not sorry. 👗: @thistleandspire #thistleandspire 👟: @maniere_usa 🧦: @luckyhoneystyle x @melissachanel 💄: @curvydesi_mua
