From a very young age, I’ve always had a desire to build things—from backyard forts to Lego sets. However, by the time I entered high school as an introverted freshman, I found a way to express myself by wearing sneakers.

Where It Began
It all started when I wore a pair of 1985 Chicago Air Jordan 1’s that I borrowed from my cousin. My older brother and his friends were playing basketball when they spotted my footwear. They were hyped on them, saying I had the “dopest shoes” I immediately realized this was a way to be cool. I began networking and made friends with the people at Footlocker and they’d backdoor me new drops that I’d take to school before anyone else had them.
