How did you become passionate about street-wear apparel?

I’ve always loved street wear, especially being from Oakland I guess. Now that my style has evolved, my current obsession is taking that street style and mixing it with more high end designer things.

How long have you been into hard to find kicks, what or who got you started on it?

It kind of started randomly, all my friends were into collecting sneakers and one day a friend of ours from nike sent me the cool grey 11s, at the time I had no idea how special they were until all my friends freaked out over them and I got compliments on them everywhere I went. I’ve been hooked ever since hahaha

Two of the most sought after drops happened in 48 hours, how rare is it that the Diamond Dunks and the Yeezy’s dropped on the same weekend?

From what I know, being a newer sneaker head lol, that’s pretty unheard of, but again we live in a world where that kind of stunt only draws social attention to the shoes..pretty genius if you ask me.

How many pairs of sneakers do you currently have? What’s your favorite pair you own and why?

Oh man, about 30…I couldn’t pick a fave, new shoes come out all the time and they become my new favorites lol

How did your most recent project with Diamond come about?

Bobby Brackins, who’s like my big brother, introduced us to Nicky and everyone over there at Diamond. They’re an amazing group of talented people and we really connected with them and deff wanted to work with them asap…and my diamond shirt was the outcome!

Do you have any clothing or shoe collaborations currently the works?

I do, it’s a work in progress so we’ll keep that under wraps for now;)
