Tzvi Twersky doesn't know exactly how many sneakers he owns, but he estimates it's in the three or four digits. Think about that for a second, and then consider that out of all of them, he wears only about 250. So how'd this former editor at Slam Magazine go from being a "Payless kid" to owning more Nikes, Adidas, Reeboks, and Yeezys than one person could possibly wear in a lifetime? It's a mix of supporting sneakerhead culture by purchasing them himself — plus gifting and discounts, of course.
