I didn't end up wearing the 47 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: shoe to like my senior year in college. Had I 48 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: known what I know, I would have just saved every 49 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: George shoot it George.

Or you know, 52 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: a sixty you know, so you don't think about it 53 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: at the time. You just get it and wear it 54 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: and you look back up and like, hold on. People 55 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: played fifty sixty thousand dollars for a pair of shoes. 56 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: But I mean, what did you look at these like art? 57 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: Or do you look at it? Oh, it's art. That's 58 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: why I'm like, man, I don't know about wearing these 59 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: dumb I mean to know all the details that you 60 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: put into it. And the actually looks like club shade 61 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: shape with the black and the goal accents. Yeah, that's 62 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: that's art. And I'm like, man, how you gonna wear that? 63 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: You're gonna mess it up? Then you got a wall. 64 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: You don't gotta have your toes ucause you don't want 65 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: to prease. I think it's different for me because I 66 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: can make them right. Yeah. Yeah, but like when i'm 67 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: that's the same thing you're talking about. It is like 68 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: when I make a shoe, it's meant to like have 69 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: the functionality. But see I get the art side too, 70 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: And then like you don't want to message. See when 71 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: you were a breed or dogs, You're like, I'll clay 72 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: the dogs meant that they don't love any of the 73 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: dog because they know the dogs got to gone, so 74 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: they don't really get attached to it. Like once I 75 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: get the dog, that's my baby. See you like, I 76 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: just make it. I give you another.

I look 79 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: at this shoe totally different than you look at this shoe. 80 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: You're like, man, you might have to work make it 81 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: another pair. Point the rock on the stick. How old 82 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: were you when you fell in love with sneakers. I 83 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: fell in love with sneakers freshman year of high school, 84 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: so I was fifteen, and what was the host met that? 85 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: I mean? Luckily, my cousin let me wear original eighty 86 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: five Jordan ones and I wore those and then it 87 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: just that was opened the cannon worms. I mean, then 88 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: I had to have every sneaker. So was it because 89 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: of the popularity of the shoe? Was it because the 90 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: way the shoe it was different than any of the 91 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: shoe that had been made. They didn't see a whole 92 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: lot of multi colored shoes. It was just the shoe 93 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: that was special because of the story behind the shoe 94 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: that I didn't I wasn't even really aware of that 95 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: story yet. I was just like I put on these shoes. 96 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: Everyone flocked to these shoes, not necessarily because of the colors. 97 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: It was just the magic that was created with Jordan's 98 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: Nike at that time. So that's what attracted me. A man, Now, 99 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: I need to get all of these special shoes the 100 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: same you know where you feel about shoes. And then 101 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: that's when after I can only get so many of those, 102 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: that's when I had to figure out how to make them. 103 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: So there's a saying the car says something about the man, 104 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: or does the man say something about the car with shoes? 105 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: Does the shoes say something about the man? Or the 106 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: man telling you something about the shoes he's worried. I 107 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: think the shoes do tell a lot about a person. 108 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: I love shoes and how they're made. But I also 109 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: wear dirty as shoes because I mean it's kind of 110 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: like a mechanic, right, like they have a bunch of 111 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: cars that need to get put together. I have one 112 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 1: story though. One time I was wearing like these dirty 113 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: chuck taylors and I was in line somewhere and this 114 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: lady said, saw this tattoo. I have a cobbler tattooed 115 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: on me. She's like, what do you do for work? 116 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: I said, oh, I make shoes. She looked down at 117 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: my feet. She's like, I'm not buying shoes from you, 118 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: and look at me now. But still but that, But 119 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: you know what, that's the true story. If you look 120 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: at the mechanic, he works on everybody else car, and 121 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: his car won't work. You look at it.

And 130 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: being in Charlotte, I I grew up my whole life 131 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: in California. Okay, and you have one big state, California, 132 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: So when you drive down to La you're drivings through California. 133 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: When I lived in Charlotte, I was I could drive 134 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: to New York City in eight hours. I can go 135 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: down to Orlando and whatever eight hours. And I took 136 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: a drive up to New York City just to go. 137 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: I've never been there, so I drove up there. When 138 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: I got up there, I went to the Babe Store 139 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: and soho and this is the first time ever experienced 140 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: New York City. I ran into Farrell Williams at the 141 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: Babe Store. Hype Williams was there, and it was just 142 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: like all of this energy of New York City that 143 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: that's why people go. So I was just like extra, 144 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 1: I had so much energy that I just knew I needed. 145 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: It was time to like create this name. I was 146 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: already doing custom shoes, but I was like I was 147 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: in my it was like it was like a closet 148 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: size hold tell in the middle of the square, and 149 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: I started writing everything down, like what am I gonna 150 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: call myself? And it just finally it clicks. It's like, 151 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: what do you do with shoes? And it became shoe surgeons. 152 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: I operated with shoes. Yeah, I'll make them better exactly. 153 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: So it's like, oh, it clicked, and since then it's 154 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: become the shoe surgeon. And it's also a catchy thing. 155 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: And that's why people I think it's hard to say sometimes, 156 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 1: but it's very hard to see. You told the story 157 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: that the very first pair of sneakers that really got 158 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: you into the sneaker game was the original Jordans, and 159 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: you said, a cousin, let you wear hers?

Ye, 172 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: so you was like, okay, I get you the throwback 173 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: Let you boy get these. Yeah, we would be trading 174 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: and selling and you know this, that's when the mall 175 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: culture was really That's why I got my inspiration in them, 176 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: all right, So like we all talked to everyone and 177 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: that's how that's how it started. Did you ever think 178 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: the shoe culture would be what it is not? Did 179 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: you ever think that there would be something called a 180 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: sneakerhead and the resale market would be the price that 181 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: sneakers would go for as much as a brand new 182 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: card I know right now, a retail shoot as much 183 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: as a car. It's right insane. Uh. I never thought 184 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: resell would be what it is. I was always envisioning 185 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: what I was doing and where it was headed. But no, 186 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: I mean I remember going, you know, being in high 187 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: school and like trying to find Jordan's as a kid, 188 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: and like going on website Nice Kicks and ordering a 189 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: bunch of fake Jordan's, not knowing their fake and getting them. 190 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: And it was just like being I ended up. When 191 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: I got these fake shoes in the mail. In the mail, 192 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: I started crying. I was just like, what is this? 193 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: I didn't know it was gonna It was so tough. 194 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: But you know, it's crazy now that there's kids like 195 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: thirteen years old reselling shoes, right, it's a business now 196 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: within a business, right, it's wild. So and you get 197 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: these situations that you mentioned. You got thirteen fourteen year 198 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: old kids that buy you know, however they get them 199 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: box or whatever. They knew someone three hundred pair of 200 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: shoes in there in a good garage and they're like 201 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: young entrepreneurs, but they're messing up the market. It because 202 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: one hundred fifty dollars pair of shoes shouldn't cost you 203 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: nine hundred bucks. No, And that's why I think like 204 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: custom and having the one off thing is is definitely 205 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: still gonna be continue to be the future where people 206 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: can come and just create a one of one and 207 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: not have to worry about you know, buying.

And I'm grateful for the brands and I'm 216 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: grateful for Michael Jordan and Nike to have created such 217 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: a magic shoe to make sneakers what it is today 218 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: to give now, give me a playing field to be like, 219 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: now I can create whatever I want to create, you know, 220 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: like the boots I'm wearing or just something completely different. 221 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: So that's the next phase of the shoe surgeon or 222 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: even just you know me as an artist. When it 223 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: comes to collabs, entertainers and collabs, who do you think 224 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: is the best? Kanye Farrell, Travis Scott Hove did a 225 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: collab of those four who who who? Who? You got? 226 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: Farrell Williams is the one artists and celebrity that I've 227 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: always just fucked too from the style and him starting 228 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: and being so unique and different. But I mean Kanye, 229 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: Kanye just you know, he took it to a whole 230 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: new level. He took it to a different level. And 231 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: I don't love the yeasy stuff. I don't love it. 232 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: I appreciate how much he puts into it, and it's 233 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: his vision into it. It's not for me, which it 234 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: doesn't need to be. But I see what he's been 235 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: able to do and is he's took it to a 236 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: different level, Like he created something that's opened the doors 237 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: for everyone else. So it's it's amazing to see. But 238 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: I mean I also remember being in the mall and 239 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: seeing the stock carters, uh as those two just like yeah, 240 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: those are sick. So it's like everything played an important 241 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: role to Leaven Aloud. You know, I got Drake. Drake 242 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: is also the M and M D. The new Drake 243 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: stuff with the KNACKTA is gonna be dope. It's like 244 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: they're doing really good stuff with that. But I mean Kanye, 245 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: just Kanye's on a different level. You've done some You've 246 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: done shoes for O, B J, Lebron, You've done some 247 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: some some custom shoes for a lot of high end 248 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: celebrities and their entertainers who are some of the who 249 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: is someone you'd like to do a customed shoe for? 250 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: I've never had to ask that way. More more just female, 251 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: more females, because I feel like females really appreciate fashion 252 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: and art just and even sneakers. They're getting into sneakers too. 253 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: They get in the way. They may be were you know, 254 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: they were there their leggings and they weren't you know, 255 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: there's you know, they're they're outfists and they got on 256 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: the fours and they got on the elevens and they 257 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: don't get the quality stuff yet. So it's like, man, 258 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, though, that's a good question. I mean 259 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: I think sitting down like I've done something for Ferrell, 260 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: but I want to be able to I want to now, 261 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: I want to sit down with these guys and like 262 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: create with them and do something collaborative.

So that's what I like, is that 266 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: that collaborator field where you can sit down with someone 267 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: that maybe know nothing about how to make something, but 268 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: like they have a vision and then I can, you know, 269 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: put things in front of them, show them and then 270 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: bring it to life.

But what's most 332 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: important to me is like the teaching and giving back 333 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: and like helping others be successful and whatever that may be. 334 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: So for me, this has now allowed me to now 335 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: do furniture. It's allowed me to open the doors, and 336 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: you know, people trust me with shoes. So now it's 337 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: allowing me to have my original friend and have it 338 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: funded by the many years of success. So I'm just 339 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: an artist that's constantly evolving and changing. Like last week 340 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: I took a welding class. Tomorrow I got an improv class. 341 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: I just want to continue to learn and like building, 342 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: whether it's I'm working on the show a TV show. 343 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: You know, I had a dream another night that I 344 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: want to figure out how to actually have custom shoes 345 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: in a fashion and a fashion show in Paris, Like 346 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: I want to figure out how to change the world 347 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: in a in a positive way and do it from 348 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: a sincere place. So there's no there's no limits of 349 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: work can go. They say, if a picture's worth a 350 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: thousand words, and everything has a story to tell, what 351 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: does dom shoes custom shoes? What's the story? What do 352 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: they say? What do they tell? It's blood sweat and tears. 353 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: It's it's Uh. Usually when someone sees it or appreciates it, 354 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: they also know what goes into it. They understand the 355 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: time that it took for even me and my story 356 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: to get to where it's at. And it's a story 357 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: of craft. It's a story of love and passion. So 358 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: it's more than just the shoe, right, Yeah, Is this 359 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: the only thing that you've ever wanted to do? No, 360 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: it's the one thing that just stuck. This next year, 361 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try out for a semi pro soccer team. Really. Yeah? 362 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: So sports were you? You mentioned you were soccer. You 363 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: play soccer growing up, But the custom shoe had a 364 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: bigger pool than sports, did it? And you know why? 365 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: Because the dedication that you have to do to be 366 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: a professional athlete is the dedication that you gotta do 367 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: to be good. And that's what I finally learned. I've 368 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: been hanging out with athletes the last couple of years 369 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: and just like to you know, go out and party 370 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: and then to like see how they're back on it, 371 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: and I'm like, Yo, that's where I need to take 372 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: my craft and that's where I'm at in my life. 373 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: That's why I want to try out for a pro 374 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: soccer team because it took me so long to get 375 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: here and if I would have known what I know 376 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: now and treat this this did take a lot and 377 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: it still takes a lot. Yeah, I want to go 378 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: even above and beyond, and I want to start treating 379 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: myself like an athlete, be physically, emotionally, mentally focused on 380 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: anything I do. So that's you know, the goal of 381 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: this next year to try out for a semi pro 382 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: soccer team. Well, I don't know. I mean I had 383 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: a teammate that was hung over and rush for two 384 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: fifteen and five touchdowns. Could you be hung over and 385 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: designed a pair of shoes? That's the thing? You can? 386 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: You can you just keep going, you know what I mean? 387 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: Like you're just like you keep going. So but you 388 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: can't do that and run a business. But as an artist, 389 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: to do one off here and there, you can fuck around, 390 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: but like when you really want to take it to 391 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: the next level, you gotta be focused. So is that 392 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: all you think about shoes? Because when I went out, 393 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: because I mean I think it to be great. I'm 394 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: talking about to be truly great. You just don't. Okay, 395 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: I'm opening at nine, I close it, and I close 396 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: it five and I'm done. How much time do you 397 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: think you actually spend thinking about designs and and and 398 00:19:52,680 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: and and fabrics and textures and sneakers in a given day. Yeah, 399 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: last night I went to sleep with the these ideas 400 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: and thoughts and like boots and like. And it's not 401 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: even just the sneakers anymore. Now it's the business. It's like, Okay, 402 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: now I gotta got mockups in your bed. You side 403 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: the bed, You got fabries and mockups all in the bed. No. 404 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: What I do, though, is if something new or if 405 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: something is inspiring, I put it in my passenger seat 406 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: and I drive around with it, right like, you know, 407 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: I want to I want to soak it all in. 408 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think about it twenty four seven, like, 409 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: this isn't just a business. This is a life, my 410 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: life that took me so long to get here, and 411 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: now now it's really about taking it to the next level. 412 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: So you hear a lot of artists say that, Okay, 413 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: when a song comes in my head, I might be 414 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: sleep I'll get up and I'll start writing. Or I 415 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: might be at the dinner table and I just start writing. 416 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: When an ideal comes in your head, do you start drawing. 417 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: Do you like, Okay, yeah, I like this, this is 418 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: gonna be this is gonna be just all right. Recently 419 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: during meditations, when it comes up, I have to wait 420 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: till the done, be done with the meditation. But yeah, 421 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: and now I need to write down the ideas. And 422 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: there's things that I really stick that I need to 423 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: I write it down, and then I need to put 424 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: it into production or put it in to production right away. 425 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: We were talking earlier, like when you do a shoe 426 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: with the functionality of a shoe. So if there's someone 427 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: passed the present that you could make a shoe for, 428 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: who would it be? I was thinking you'd probably say 429 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: Bessie or Christiano Ronaldo man Lewandowski Kane. So Abraham Lincoln 430 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: used to love his boots, and my mentor when Abraham 431 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: Lincoln was shot, my mentor went to the the museum 432 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: and studied these boots and then he recreated these boots. 433 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: And I just feel like someone from back in the 434 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: day that love boots, they would love sneakers now like 435 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: you have boots, right, so like they didn't have sneakers 436 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,959 Speaker 1: back then. So imagine like any of these guys from 437 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: the past, like house Waggy they'd be. And sneakers. What's 438 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: the most expensive pair of sneakers you've created? I did 439 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollar pair for Lebron and then the 440 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: pair I just showed you. It's gonna be a couple 441 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: hundred thousand, and I'm working on a two million dollars shoot. Uh. 442 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: Is that Dorothy shoe that once she clicked together and 443 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: she's back in Kansas or something, it's gonna be the 444 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: most expensive shoot in the World's gonna be a pair 445 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: of airmags. That's all I can tell you. Diamonds, diamond 446 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: what's the top being four shooter? Now? With technology, it 447 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: could be anything like it could be you know, the 448 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: auto lacing and then some different materials and then making 449 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: gold components and then the packaging. Yeah, how long it 450 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: goes into the shoes? You showed me if they had 451 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: diamonds that you could take off Yep, you know where 452 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: it's a bracelet. So you probably you can get up 453 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: to five million, ten million dollars four pair of shoes, 454 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: and yeah, huh, that's that should be a goal of mine, 455 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,719 Speaker 1: that's a goal of yours. So you you just like 456 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: creating things. It's not so much as shoes. Like you said, 457 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna work with furniture, and you want to work 458 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: with so you just like creating. It's not just a 459 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: specific thing that I want to create. I want to create. 460 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: I just want to build. Right, Shoes just happened to 461 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: be that one thing that made exactly made me feel 462 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: good and I can wear them and it was so 463 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: hard to figure out that. That's what driving me to it, 464 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: Like I need to figure this shit out. And now 465 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: now it's anything. I mean, if you see the lamps 466 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: up there, I've made those lamps. I mean, I designed 467 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: the space for building up the space as we go. 468 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: So it's gonna just creating.

So people are just sitting on the 475 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: computers and it's like you gotta move, and whether it's 476 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: cooking or making leather goods or a bag or hat, whatever, remember, 477 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: but people need to move and move that energy through them. 478 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: I appreciate the tour.
