Our latest Sneaker Rotation comes courtesy of New York born-and-bred illustrator and designer Sophia Chang. Working in the fields of art, design and marketing, Sophia is no stranger to the streetwear world, having worked with brands like Nike, Undefeated and most recently PUMA. Her lineup of sneakers in heavy rotation focuses solely on the former, with the top row featuring the Nike x CLOT Air Max 1, the Japan-only Nike Free Woven 4.0 Slip-On, and the Nike Free 3.0 Print. Along the bottom is the Nike Roshe Run Woven and the Nike Tennis Classic PDM pack from 2013.

In addition to a bird's eye-view of her kicks, we asked Sophia for a little insider knowledge about her sneaker game. Check it out below.
