Dee Wells calls Worcester, MA his home but grew up in the beautiful US Virgin Islands(STT/STJ).
Heavily influenced by Hip Hop, Dee has always been fascinated by people and what they wear. Thus, began his love for fashion and, more importantly, sneakers.
It all started with him watching his parents play tennis; his father wore adidas Rod Laver sneakers, and his mother wore adidas Stan Smith sneakers. From there birthed Dee's love for leather and rubber.
Dee's first pair of sneakers were Puma Clyde sneakers, which he religiously changed the laces in, and kept clean with water, Dawn dishwashing liquid, and a toothbrush.
While Dee has amassed many pairs of sneakers, it's the stories that are the most important to Dee; he calls them Kickstories.
Dee has also been instrumental with bringing the sneaker subculture to the forefront with his involvement with Sole Collector Magazine, and his latest creation, the OSD (Obsessive Sneaker Disorder) brand.

Alright, we admit it: Sometimes we are so brutally honest when it comes to sneakers, that it scares some folks, and brands from being guests on the show! Because the OSD Crew is passionate about their sole and yours, too, we have to speak our mind and share our thoughts on what brands and sneakers we’re feeling. [...]
For Ep221, the OSD Crew discusses Nike’s newly proposed Twitter RSVP program for sneaker releases, Green Street Vault’s beef with city hall in Boston, Curtis Granderson inking a footwear deal with New Balance, and Swizz Beatz reaching out to Allen Iverson to bring back ‘The Question’ sneakers!
