Here is the picture that Rannvijay Singha posted on his Instagram page with the caption which read.

My sneaker journey started in 1993 when I first discovered my love for basketball. Like any budding baller of the time I was in awe of the OG Micheal Jordan. Watching him dominate the hardwood day in day out I began to believe that the magic came straight from his Air Jordan sneakers. Ball culture is all about flaunting heat on and off the court. As my love for the game grew so did my love for sneakers and thats how the #sneakerhead in me was born. My only dream was to ball in a pair of Jordans which finally came true in 2001 when while working in construction in New York as a summer job, I copped my very first pair of Jordans. The rest as they say is history!! #sneakerindia #sneakerheadsindia #sneakercommunity #sneakercollection #sneakercloset
