How did you get into sneakers/shoes/fashion: I’ve always been into sneakers growing up, but didn’t get into collecting those pairs I long for until late 2014. I had a limited budget when I was younger so I spent my money on pairs that were clean but needed restoration. Midsole repaints, general cleanings, reshaping, and sanitizing. I then went into customizing once I found how fun painting was. Lead us to now where I make shoes from the finest materials and build quality.
Favorite shoes you’ve ever created: I am a huge fan of the AJ1 Low design so that is what I currently specialize in designing. I have several favorite designs I’ve created but my favorite design I’ve made for a personal pair would have to be my AJ1 Lance Mountain pack. Perfect combination of red, blue, black, and white. Doesn’t get better than that!
Another special pair that I’ve made that showcase my talents would be the “What The Meek” AJ1 low. It’s basically comprised of a bunch of my favorite color ways and embroidery designs into a single pair of shoes.
Favorite shoe/sneaker of all time: This is a tough question because sneakerheads have many shoes that helped shape our love for the game but I would have to say Chicago AJ1 high or the black cement 3 AJ3
Favorite go-to pairs of shoes (shoes by the door): My beaters tend to be Union AJ1 high X BBS or black and white gum SB’s. I also have Nike invincible 3 and Pegasus 41 as a go to.
What shoe best embodies you and your style? Any shoe I get to make from the ground up and wear is the best shoe that embodies my style. Everything get to be tailored to my preference and style so you can’t go wrong.
Describe your shoe care regimen: The shoes always stay in their boxes, so when I finally take them out and hit the streets, they immediately get placed back in the box with the shoe trees in there to bring their shape back. If for some reason they get trashed, I leave them by the door until I spark the courage to finally have a cleaning day!
Other passions/hobbies outside of shoes/sneakers/fashion: I love dancing, hanging out with friends, playing pool. Very big into Rocket league and a few Nintendo games.
Random fun/interesting fact about you: Designing sneakers was just a career path I happen to come upon. I enjoyed art but wasn’t ecstatic about it. The real passion behind it was always sneakers. Follow your passion and it might lead you in a direction you never thought feasible.
More fun facts: I have a French bulldog named Louis, I like to feed my neighbors cows in my free time, and I love to shoot pool.
