Los Angeles native, Christyna Pourhabib is the editor of the coffee table book, The First Pair. Her work considers how sneakers become an entry point into the broader subjects of race, gender, class, and identity. After participating in Nike’s Air Max Accelerator program, Christyna expanded the focus of The First Pair to create The First Pair+ | The Next Pair. The double-sided journal features conversations with legendary women who have been instrumental in shaping sneaker culture, and with some of the fresh faces who are forging new paths and shaping the future of the industry. Christyna lives in Los Angeles and New York City. She is currently working on a memoir.
