They call me ‘Hamster’, and they always have. My Mum bought me a pair of shoes Southern Californian sneaker company, Vans, when I was 13, and I’ve been wearing and collecting them ever since. I love the SoCal vibe and the memories of a sun-soaked youth in California my Vans awaken in me, and my obsession makes my friends laugh.
