From doubling up on Air Jordan 4s during a trip to Chicago in 1989, to selling hundreds of pairs to buy his dream car, Toddy Flores has always done things for the love of it, while keeping his priorities straight. The DJ, restauranteur, car lover and family man shares his history and passion with the sneaker game, and what’s happening with his 1,000-plus pair collection.
