A Guy Who Owns More Shoes Than We Do
Name: Connor Cortes
Major: Business
Year: Sophomore
Relationship Status: Single
What is your favorite hobby? I really like to collect shoes; I have over 45-90 pairs. So far, I would guess that I have spent between $6,000-$10,000 on them. I’m from Colombia, Maryland and it was just a part of the culture there. Everyone took pride in how they looked. All the shoes I buy are pretty rare; I once waited in a blizzard for 6-7 hours for a pair of Air Jordan 30th anniversary shoes that cost $175.
Where is your favorite place to meet girls? I like to go to the dog park. I would take my pitbulls, Cali and Cassidy, and sometimes there would be girls that would approach me to look at my dogs, and that would start up a conversation. I go to the one on Blanchard Park around here, and I find that I get to meet some nice girls.
What is a dream of yours? I would love to own my own clothing company one day. I would sell t-shirts and hoodies, similar to LRG and OBEY. It’s just a dream I’ve had ever since I was in middle school. I think I would like it because I would be my own boss, and it’s something I enjoy.
What are your favorite things to do? I like to go out to parties, play basketball, and go to the beach. Before UCF, I lived in Maryland, and the weather was a lot colder. It’s nice for it to be warmer here and be able to do more outdoor activities.
And, what do you say to those girls that read this and want to meet you? If you see me on campus, just come up and say hi. I’m a pretty friendly guy.
