Having a passion for sneakers can apparently take you places. For one particular Malaysian sneakerhead, it has brought her to New York – well, sort off.

Safuraa Razak (also known as just Aaput, from her Instagram handle) was chosen as a weartester for Tom Sachs. She received a pair of sneakers from the US contemporary artist, which she wore, then documented her experience in a journal.
