Shoesist: shoes enthusiast

Coltrane Curtis, creator of the Overdrive at the MTV site (USA) and creative director of Team Epiphany marketing agency is known not only to be a an influential personality at red carpet events such as MTV Video Music Awards and MTV Movie Awards, but is also famous to be a professional shopaholic and sneakerhead.

Lately Coltrane Curtis has put on sale his huge collection of sneakers that includes as much as 1,200 pairs. He announced the thing in Twitter, so the public wasn’t eager to believe the ad until the celebrity confirmed the act and explained the reasons for it.

Although the rather unexpected, it can be justified by the face that Coltrane Curtis has to find a spare room for his new born child. And it’s a weighty argument, don’t you agree? So the room that is occupied by the large collection of sneakers of all kinds is no become a children’s room now.

Last month Curtis showed his collection of sneakers in Time Out New York magazine. The collection includes several rare models as well as a pair of Nike sneakers sighed by Fresh Prince (an actor Will Smith).

Still, Coltrane Curtis doesn’t want to sell his precious collection of sneakers to a dealer. He precisely defines the portrait of a potential buyer. It should be rapper or a celebrity or a weightlifter. If you belong to either of these categories, have spare $40,000 to spend and your footwear size is 12s you may contact Curtis via Twitter or Facebook. The price for a single pair is about $33, but you can only buy the whole collection of sneakers.
