Do you know an avid collector?

Reporter The Hastings Mail

For antique trader Mehdi Sanssar it all began with a pair of brown leather Nikes his mum bought him at a store north of Paris in the late 1980s.
Sanssar, 39, is a self-confessed "sneaker freak".
The Frenchman, who has lived with wife Korreen and three kids in rural Hawke's Bay since 2009, still has a wardrobe jammed full, with about 70 boxes of sneakers, but it's a far cry from the 130 he owned at "peak fetish" about five years ago.
