My “wanna be like Mike” shoes.
I haven’t always been into tennis shoes. When I was young all I use to think about was how great Mike was, I never even really knew he had his own shoes until he stopped playing ball, I was always more interested in him and Pippen…man I thought Scottie Pippen was the coolest name, he had 33, Mike had 23, those were the days! I wonder if in 20 years they will remake Lebron’s and people will line up for them? Regardless, I think it’s pretty cool that aside from these shoes just looking really dope, they make me reminisce back to being a lil guy.

Everything happens for a reason.
On my last day in NY city I got to take out some creative energy & attach it to a garment for myself. As I was trying to think of what I could do to make this piece something different than anything else I have, I figured why not put my thoughts on it. As I sifted through my mobile phone, I found a quote from my (not so favorite website ever) Twitter and decided it was the right one for me. The quote reads… “Whether we comprehend it or not, everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it’s for a larger purpose than just your mind to understand”. Ironically enough after the plane ride home, the next day I found myself in the exact situation of my mind not comprehending why I left my computer on the airplane.
