lot of air force ones of course i mean everybody from new york period growing up you had to have a fresh pair ups man you just had to just went with every outfit and whenever you just wanted to get fresh you know just just chill with any any kind of weather whatever you could always have a fresh pair of these this is a classic shoe classic went to rice high school were you a sneaker head in high school or was it more on court i was a sneaker head but um it was more on court okay just because i know no better though i love sneakers i would like ram with the outfit maybe once or twice and then like if i had a big game you wear that wait a minute yeah okay that makes sense about looking good in the game so yeah being from new york being from the bronx the style of new york different type of style than everywhere else yeah it's a lot of different styles i think new york is a place where anybody could go and just people watch yeah um and that's where i got my style from you know just from being from new york um going to high school and right to go to uh which is in harlem i'm from the bronx so yeah you all got a chance to learn that style you got a little fat joe and a little dip set together right a little something like that that's a great way to put it but um yeah man just so many different styles in the city of new york which is which is dope [Music] i remember watching you cycle through jordans in the games cool gray 11's flew game 12s where were you getting those sneakers i actually was getting them from my aunt's boss who said he's a bless me he was a big sneaker head um he knew i was a big sneaker head so he's a blessing with all of all the heat the 12s became your favorite to play when did you start liking to ball and 12s and obviously you love them you know you're wearing it on your necklace and you're wearing them now i always like 12. white and red 12s the cherry 12 is my my all-time favorite shoe that's why i got the chain yeah early on in my junior season we went to maui and i played in hawaiian red 12s and killed it yeah i think that's really really when i really started to fall in love with that shoe so yeah just just been my my favorite shoe ever since now you really like the tens a lot is it basically you stick with the shoe that you like and you playing it yeah yeah it's it's all about comfort for me at this point um i think when i was younger when i was in college i could wear any any jay but now it's kind of tough i'm a little bit older now so the tens is just super comfortable and they get better the more you play in them so and it's a good looking shoe i think it's a great looking shoe so no best of both worlds what's it like wearing jordans in high school and college and now being signed to him and having such a close working relationship with him oh it's a dream come true man like you know like you said in college maybe in high school i wore jays played in jays in college i played in jays one of my dreams always

[Music] every night we see the tunnel pics but i read no stylist for you no never never ever when did you decide like i'm never gonna have a stylist early on early i mean for what i mean i love it i love i love fashion man i love to put things together i love the challenge of putting things together yeah every single day before the game you know i take my pre-game nap i wake up go to my closet and i search for my clothes try on two three four different outfits yeah i mean go back and forth to my sneak closet my clothes closet to see what goes with what so i mean i love it it's a challenge um you know especially trying to wear the same things all the time i don't think i need a stylus for that yeah no one's showing up with clothes it wouldn't be that fun no not at all these right here though that don sees here 312's man this is the elite shoe right here yeah i don't think a lot of people like these though it's a little challenging some people are used to like straight on ones or threes this mixes a bunch of that mixes a bunch of different shoes i mean kind of got that old school feeling as well this is a super dope shoe to me i love this shoe i got so many pairs of these yeah i just can't even wait to wear so yeah this is crazy off-court are you into plastics like you know these blazers came out or not really not really not really i'm not gonna lie i'm not a big fan of
