Tell us about yourself.
“My name is Derria Underwood, I’m from Charlotte, NC but I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY. I am 31 years old and I am a Stylist and Content Creator based in Los Angeles, CA.”
How long have you been a sneaker lover?
“I have been a sneaker lover since high school. I remember standing in line for Jordans like it was yesterday!”
Do you remember your introduction to the sneaker game?
“My mom and dad kept me in sneakers since I was a baby. So I don’t remember a concrete introduction to the sneaker game. I got a job as soon as I turned 16 so that I could buy any and every pair that was released.”
What is your favorite pair of sneakers?
“My favorite pair of sneakers are my Comme des Garcons Cortez. They were my most expensive sneaker purchase and I don’t wear them often because I want to preserve them, lol.”
What are you wearing now?
“My outfit is from H&M and my sneakers are the Aleali May Jordan 1 High Zoom Califia.”
What is your favorite sneaker colorway?
“My favorite sneaker colorway is classic black and white.”
If you could collaborate with any sneaker brand, who would you collaborate with and why?
“If I could collaborate with any sneaker brand it would either be Nike or New Balance. Nike because they have a ton of silhouettes that I love and New Balance because of how comfortable the sneakers are.”
What do you think the sneaker game is missing?
“The sneaker game is missing more female collabs. There is so much creativity out there that needs to be tapped into!”
