Speaker 1: What's going on? Guys? This is easy bus to and
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of Legit Chick. Here I'm with
Speaker 1: my good friend Sevrino Alvarez a k A Severino truly.
Speaker 1: Now today we're gonna be talking about some very interesting topics,
Speaker 1: kind of like diving into Sevrino's life. Um, as you
Speaker 1: guys know, I have a lot of cool people on
Speaker 1: the show that not necessarily are in front of the
Speaker 1: camera or in front of the scenes at all time. So, uh, Severno,
Speaker 1: go ahead and introduce yourself and tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit about yourself. Hey, everyone, Severino Alvarez here a k
Speaker 1: A Sevy or Severino truly. These guys end up calling
Speaker 1: me a lot of different names, So whatever one sticks,
Speaker 1: it just depends on what day of the week it is. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well today we're gonna stick to uh Sevy just to
Speaker 1: make things a little bit easier. Okay, cool, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: with that. So. Um, I met Sevrino through a good
Speaker 1: friend of mine, uh Drek Croatian style. I've had him
Speaker 1: on the show before, and uh we've been good friends
Speaker 1: ever since we met. Had our ups and downs, but
Speaker 1: it has a few times that's really normal one. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Sevy, tell us a little bit about what you do.
Speaker 1: How maybe you got acquainted with Dray. What's your part
Speaker 1: of the fashion sneaker world. Yeah, so Dre and I
Speaker 1: met at Basel in Miami through uh a big sneaker
Speaker 1: critic and sneaker collector and sneaker connoisseur a k A.
Speaker 1: Trinidad James t J as we know him. Um, he
Speaker 1: introduced us back and I believe it was um maybe
Speaker 1: and yeah, he introduced me to Dre. Um. We had
Speaker 1: a very unique introduction and became friends in the next year.
Speaker 1: I would say after that. UM, anyways, time me Dre,
Speaker 1: what I do typically depends on who's asking, or again
Speaker 1: I like to say, like it depends on what day
Speaker 1: of the week. It is a lot of entrepreneurial stuff
Speaker 1: that is involved, um with basically conceptual ideas that involve
Speaker 1: brand development. UM. I do a lot of consulting. Uh.
Speaker 1: There's a kid that is seventeen years old that I
Speaker 1: live coach right now. That's kind of what I have
Speaker 1: seen at what best benefit him and his creative ventures. UM.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say there's a ton of brands that I
Speaker 1: work with there's a few brands that I work with.
Speaker 1: There has been brands in the past that I don't
Speaker 1: work with anymore clothing wise and fashion that I don't
Speaker 1: work with any more that I did. But consulting advisement,
Speaker 1: brand development, it's a it's kind of a very intriguing
Speaker 1: and unique industry that we work in. You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: you work on like a specific project for one brand
Speaker 1: for a month and then you're done, And other times
Speaker 1: you are working with a brand for several years and
Speaker 1: it becomes kind of like a home to you. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: So give give us an example of, you know, one
Speaker 1: of the cooler brands that you've worked with them maybe
Speaker 1: you know, I know some of them are some of
Speaker 1: them are a top secret. So it's okay. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a few that probably I wouldn't be able to speak
Speaker 1: about and keep my reputation. Ah, but we're not out
Speaker 1: here to get you. You're not out here to get me.
Speaker 1: That happens a lot on the on these on these podcasts.
Speaker 1: Sometimes not here though, Yeah, I would say right now there,
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, I'll sell you a really great brand.
Speaker 1: I work with Project Blitz. Project Blitz never heard of it,
Speaker 1: You've never heard of it. You know, if if you've
Speaker 1: had dre On here, then you know what Project Bliz
Speaker 1: is and what Project blitz es. He was the second episode. Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: so well then we don't even need to delve down
Speaker 1: that hole. Uh. In the last a few months and
Speaker 1: my first project was during our bassl Is Horritos. You
Speaker 1: just did a cool little post about Horritos. But some
Speaker 1: Mexican Sota brand. You would say, what the heck Doceta
Speaker 1: and culture and sneakers have to do together? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: we made it happen. Yeah we did. I don't really
Speaker 1: like to like generally work with any specific brand, any
Speaker 1: specific industry. I kind of just like to keep the
Speaker 1: door open and just see kind of what flows my way.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're here in Hawaii right now as we
Speaker 1: record this, making some big moves and making some big moves,
Speaker 1: you know, like we were just here for the Louis
Speaker 1: Vatton dinner. So it's difficult to say that I work
Speaker 1: for or with Louis Batton. They have offered me a
Speaker 1: position a couple of times, but the specific way that
Speaker 1: I'm with them right now just makes more sense for
Speaker 1: me my career path. Yeah, but we're still here. You know,
Speaker 1: we we got invited to come out here and enjoy dinner.
Speaker 1: They opened up their new store here in Waikiki, So
Speaker 1: it was a blessing and I feel very fortunate to
Speaker 1: come out here and celebrate with them. But that was
Speaker 1: the new store, the one we went to. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a brand of store, so it was a historic
Speaker 1: basically building and foundation. Um. The inside of that store
Speaker 1: for the last several months, i mean maybe six to
Speaker 1: eight months, has been gutted and totally turned in because
Speaker 1: it had two stories before, but just a lot more condensed,
Speaker 1: not as much space throughout the whole store. They fit
Speaker 1: a lot more product in the store, which I'm I'm
Speaker 1: assuming is their goal as any brand. It's like, why
Speaker 1: do we have all the space and we can't fit
Speaker 1: our product and now they can so, but it was
Speaker 1: it was a lout vatan before too. They just yet
Speaker 1: so they just redid it. Yeah, they just basically redid
Speaker 1: the store. So that's what the whole two day period
Speaker 1: was about. You know, obviously for me and for us,
Speaker 1: it was a lot more than that. Relationships and being
Speaker 1: present with you know, the people that you were work
Speaker 1: with is really important. So absolutely absolutely we had a
Speaker 1: blast what's the beach today? You know, business and pleasure
Speaker 1: doesn't don't always make today was one of the few exceptions,
Speaker 1: and and and it is. It is one of the
Speaker 1: few places that you can actually mix business and pleasure
Speaker 1: and get with it Hawaii. So yeah, I kind of
Speaker 1: went on a tangent with what I do. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it just kind of depends where I need to fit
Speaker 1: and how I can best kind of bring the most
Speaker 1: value to the team. I love teamwork, I love hard work,
Speaker 1: and um, I love entrepreneurship. So anything kind of within
Speaker 1: that fashion art creative realm is something that I'm usually
Speaker 1: interested in totally. I think that, especially these days, the
Speaker 1: term entrepreneur is not what it used to be twenty
Speaker 1: years ago. And it's kind of hard to just pinpoint
Speaker 1: one thing that because I have a really hard time
Speaker 1: answering the question what do you do? I really do
Speaker 1: And it seems like you in a way don't have
Speaker 1: an exact answer. And that's okay, because I feel like
Speaker 1: that's kind of how things are, know, And it's like
Speaker 1: you're saying with like a creative direction and you know,
Speaker 1: helping brands out, like I know, I know you're involvement
Speaker 1: with blitz obviously and know what you did with Ritos,
Speaker 1: which is awesome, Like even me, Like, people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: what do you do? And I don't want to say
Speaker 1: influencer because I hate that word. Um, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say YouTuber or rather say entrepreneur because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things I do behind the scenes that you know,
Speaker 1: I don't put in front of a camera. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I totally understood. So what do you what are your
Speaker 1: thoughts on that? Like what do you think, like why
Speaker 1: do you think that is these days? You think it's
Speaker 1: because of the Internet. Do you think it's because of
Speaker 1: the opportunity that the internet brings or do you think
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with the internet. There's just
Speaker 1: a new way of culture, new way of life. Because
Speaker 1: I don't know, did you probably when you were in
Speaker 1: college you weren't like, Okay, I'm definitely gonna do all
Speaker 1: of these things, you know what I mean? Because at
Speaker 1: all because most people when they're in college, so like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to be a doctor, a lawyer, a business
Speaker 1: or a teacher or whatever. You know, So what what
Speaker 1: what do you think is that paradigm shift that probably
Speaker 1: occurred within the last decade or so yeah, So, I
Speaker 1: mean I grew up wanting to be a major league
Speaker 1: baseball player. My dad played major league baseball, I played
Speaker 1: college baseball. I wanted to play major league baseball, you
Speaker 1: know a little bit of pro ball, and it just
Speaker 1: I I got burned out. But I think that the
Speaker 1: competitiveness of that was something that always it was a
Speaker 1: part of me. It didn't need need to be baseball
Speaker 1: for me to be competitive. I think that the shift
Speaker 1: happened probably when I was twenty three, um, which was
Speaker 1: ten years ago now, so that would have been two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine when I met when I met my wife.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like I just kind of like came
Speaker 1: into fashion, you know, like I wasn't wearing Louis Baton
Speaker 1: and and visam around and stuff like nowadays. But I
Speaker 1: was still with it, you know, like I knew what
Speaker 1: was going on. You know, my mom grew up sewing,
Speaker 1: so like again, it wasn't like I was some outstanding
Speaker 1: outspoken fashion critic or des miner or whatever you may
Speaker 1: have it. But at a younger age, I was more
Speaker 1: aware of what went in to design, pattern making, sewing, styling,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of have a foundation in the creative
Speaker 1: realm of fashion, art, et cetera. Because I mean they
Speaker 1: all blend together. They always have. Nowadays with technology, it
Speaker 1: just seems so much more streamlined together. The paradigm shift
Speaker 1: probably happened in oh nine as far as when like
Speaker 1: I'm playing baseball too, Oh wow, I'm gonna really start styling.
Speaker 1: People that made it further in baseball or other athletes
Speaker 1: are some artists from the Southeast, you know, because my
Speaker 1: dad played for the Braves in Atlanta, grew up with
Speaker 1: a lot of hip hop artists, which is a story
Speaker 1: in and of itself. But uh, yeah, I just started
Speaker 1: using the other talents that I had outside of baseball,
Speaker 1: like my networking and you know, my style. I always
Speaker 1: came to and left the park with something for shan.
Speaker 1: So when I stopped playing baseball, it didn't. It never
Speaker 1: stop where people are always asking me like, Yo, where'd
Speaker 1: you get that seavy? Or Yo, where'd you get those shoes?
Speaker 1: Or how did you get that so? Um yeah, So
Speaker 1: would you say, um, maybe your want for something that's
Speaker 1: like exclusive came from almost the competitiveness from baseball or
Speaker 1: do you think it's always something just you've you've been into.
Speaker 1: I think exclusivity was something that I always enjoyed because
Speaker 1: my dad played pro ball. It wasn't something that I
Speaker 1: like gloated in. It started a long time ago, man
Speaker 1: like beanie babies, baseball cards. I mean, I remember literally
Speaker 1: selling my baseball car collection. And it's not like I
Speaker 1: sold like, oh yeah, here's just a normal collection. It
Speaker 1: was like I had the baseball back cards and the
Speaker 1: jersey cards and the autograph cars and like the rookie cards,
Speaker 1: and it just became like having the collection was always
Speaker 1: something that was important to me. Uh. It's cycled through
Speaker 1: so many different things, but something that actually always remained
Speaker 1: constant was the wardrobe. Like and when I say remained constant,
Speaker 1: I had cool shoes the whole time. But one year
Speaker 1: I love paintball, so I had all the coolest paintball
Speaker 1: guns and all the gear and the new mask and
Speaker 1: the new goggles, and you know, I might not have
Speaker 1: had the newest game system, but I still have the
Speaker 1: coolest shoes and the coolest fits to me. And then
Speaker 1: the next year I'd probably be all into cars, so
Speaker 1: i'd you know, like whatever with the car, and I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have paintball gear anymore, but I'd still have the
Speaker 1: shoes and the fits that I needed, you know, for school.
Speaker 1: So I guess once I kind of became a little
Speaker 1: bit more successful and had a little bit more opportunity,
Speaker 1: the wardrobe is continue to grow. And that's what I
Speaker 1: remained kind of consistent with, was like, I'm going to
Speaker 1: continue to grow my image. So where do you think
Speaker 1: you got an inspiration for like wanting to you know,
Speaker 1: collect sneakers and have like a cool or did you
Speaker 1: ever have like an inspiration to collect sneakers or that
Speaker 1: something more recent? Do you think back then it was
Speaker 1: just more so like oh, these shoes looked dope with
Speaker 1: this outfit, rather than like, oh, I'm wearing Jordan's or whatever.
Speaker 1: I think my mom always dressed me nice and it
Speaker 1: made me passion and about making my keeping myself clean,
Speaker 1: you know, like but wasn't But do you think it
Speaker 1: was more like when you say clean, was that more
Speaker 1: like just like white teas and like polos with skinny
Speaker 1: jeans or just something that it wasn't necessarily any look,
Speaker 1: it was just basically when I say clean, it was like,
Speaker 1: I feel like my image has always been important. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like I'm trying to create a facade of who
Speaker 1: I'm not. It's trying to represent myself in the best way,
Speaker 1: which is like totally different. You can look at it
Speaker 1: totally different ways, but it's all the same thing. It's
Speaker 1: like when somebody gets all dressed up and all done
Speaker 1: up and clean and smells get a nice like somebody like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're just making a facade, and then other people like, no,
Speaker 1: they're just like making the best representation of themselves. Like
Speaker 1: I look at it is. We're all out here, we're
Speaker 1: all imperfect people. But the best image you can present
Speaker 1: yourself with is always what I thought to be one
Speaker 1: of the most important things. You know. Basically what you're
Speaker 1: saying is like you're always into certain things and you'd
Speaker 1: always kind of like need the best of the best
Speaker 1: and be able to kind of like what you're saying about,
Speaker 1: like the paintball stuff and like the car stuff in
Speaker 1: the cards. Where did that? But you said you always
Speaker 1: looked fresh, um, no matter what you did, So what
Speaker 1: do you um? Where do you think? Like the whole
Speaker 1: sneaker collecting side kind of came in obviously, you know
Speaker 1: it's an easy bust to podcast, so you know, we
Speaker 1: gotta talk a little bit about sneaker. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: we got to what do you think was your first
Speaker 1: kind of like shoe? You're like, damn, like this is it?
Speaker 1: You know, I love the sneaker and I have to
Speaker 1: get every color or every model or whatever. Like what
Speaker 1: what do you think that that was your first one?
Speaker 1: I mean because I know, like just to give you
Speaker 1: guys context, um, so you know, like whatever I see him,
Speaker 1: he's either wearing some crazy off whites or some exclusive
Speaker 1: Air Forces or Supprise or whatever it might be, or
Speaker 1: literally just a black fair Vans. So fat, what do
Speaker 1: you think? What do you think was facts on the vans?
Speaker 1: Is what I mean? Yeah, And what do you think
Speaker 1: was kind of like what made you get into everything?
Speaker 1: Was Vans always your thing and then you kind of
Speaker 1: branched out in the sneakers or I mean, I think
Speaker 1: it's a lot of things, you know, like one thing
Speaker 1: that I don't get here get brought up and maybe
Speaker 1: it's just me and I'll just call myself out, like
Speaker 1: it's fun having things other people don't have. Sometimes it's
Speaker 1: a talking point. It's it's it's not being a jerk,
Speaker 1: but it's it's it's being like, you know what, man, like, Yo,
Speaker 1: did you hear about these? Yeah, I heard about him.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get him, you know, I got a cool pair,
Speaker 1: like come check him out, Like, nothing wrong being It's
Speaker 1: being the guy that has the piece that your friends
Speaker 1: want to see, you know. Um, nothing wrong with I mean,
Speaker 1: but style is obviously the epicenter of why I was
Speaker 1: doing it. Air Force ones, air Max ones, Jordan's wants
Speaker 1: to A to three. I've grown on me, but air
Speaker 1: Air Jordan fours when I was younger, we're like that
Speaker 1: la criminal lacrim. Now when I look at myself, I
Speaker 1: just looked so boxy on me and I and I
Speaker 1: and I don't dismiss that I love that shoe. But yeah,
Speaker 1: like air Force ones, air Max ones, there's some shoes
Speaker 1: from back in the day. I mean when I say
Speaker 1: my first shoe, uh well, for one of the questions
Speaker 1: that you asked, I would probably like, I mean, one
Speaker 1: of the first ones that possed into my mind is
Speaker 1: literally air Force one white, air Force one white low,
Speaker 1: air Force one white, which is like, wow, that's pretty basic,
Speaker 1: but hey, there it is. I'm not gonna I'm not
Speaker 1: even on the front, Like that was my two of
Speaker 1: my go toos somewhat accessible to get to still clean.
Speaker 1: It mattered, it was relevant with like multiple audiences were
Speaker 1: like you passed with the like Crokey. I mean, I
Speaker 1: grew up in the Southeast. I grew up in South Carolina,
Speaker 1: So it's like passed with the guys in the in
Speaker 1: the sorority girls to an extent, but you still passed
Speaker 1: with like the streets a little bit like where you
Speaker 1: could be relevant on not both there's like a line
Speaker 1: draw on the sand, but like on every side, there's
Speaker 1: multiple sides. I would say, like a heater that I
Speaker 1: had back in the day was like I mean there
Speaker 1: was an air Max one that was pink and gray
Speaker 1: that Clock came out with way back. I mean this
Speaker 1: was a long time ago and early two thousand's I
Speaker 1: was one of my big heaters back in the day.
Speaker 1: There's probably a Jordans four back in the day, like
Speaker 1: a couple of jordan fours that I had that were fire.
Speaker 1: I never had like the eminem or anything we can
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't. I can't stand out and say
Speaker 1: that I had like the four like car Heart or
Speaker 1: Encore or anything crazy like that. But there was a
Speaker 1: couple of drones that I had maybe the lightning cool gray,
Speaker 1: the original cool gray. You know, I'm an old man
Speaker 1: now though now though, so it's kind of like when
Speaker 1: I look back, it's like the things that stick to me,
Speaker 1: or like just your typical air Force ones and your
Speaker 1: standard air Max ones too, man as we're just two
Speaker 1: silhouettes that I always vibed with really well totally. I
Speaker 1: think air Force ones, like ever since they came out,
Speaker 1: have been a staple and like sneakers, and you know
Speaker 1: a lot of people are are saying that they came back.
Speaker 1: I just, you know, a few minutes ago, actually did
Speaker 1: say they came back. They never really left in a way.
Speaker 1: But now I feel like it's becoming more and more
Speaker 1: of like a normal thing, you know. But it's funny
Speaker 1: because I used to watch, you know, celebrities talk about
Speaker 1: their sneakers and they were always like, yeah, I have
Speaker 1: I have air Force ones. I wear them one time
Speaker 1: and I throw them away, which is the funniest thing ever.
Speaker 1: And it's like the biggest like lex ever because the yeah,
Speaker 1: we're in a hundred dollar shoe once and tossed away
Speaker 1: and I have another hundred pairs, but yeah, and they
Speaker 1: never really left. And it's such a timeless shoe. And
Speaker 1: I'm willingly to put my money on the on the
Speaker 1: on this next statement, Like hear me out, guys, their
Speaker 1: forces are gonna be the next big thing next year,
Speaker 1: as bees or the thing this year, and like they're
Speaker 1: gonna kind of slowly start dying out probably with the
Speaker 1: next year. They're never gonna die out. Like the expensive
Speaker 1: ones are still gonna be expensive, but um and really
Speaker 1: hard to get. But I have a feeling that air
Speaker 1: forces are just gonna skyrocket next year. Everyone's gonna be
Speaker 1: going crazy for force. Yeah, I agree. Well, so it's
Speaker 1: just you know, it's just a shoe that's it's like
Speaker 1: it's back like it never left, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But um, in a way, it's really gonna explode next year.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, at least, I could be wrong. I've
Speaker 1: I've actually been saying that to some mutual friends of ours.
Speaker 1: I feel like Jordans ones been going crazy. I don't
Speaker 1: think they'll ever die off necessarily, but I feel like
Speaker 1: one the first, second, and third place shoe silhouette contenders
Speaker 1: always switched up every now and then, and you know
Speaker 1: you've got the Jordan once and now you got the
Speaker 1: s B craze going for a little bit, for sure.
Speaker 1: The Air Force one's gonna kick in. I'm curious to
Speaker 1: see what what silhouette it goes US two after that.
Speaker 1: But I would agree with you. I would think that
Speaker 1: Air Forces is something that is going to come very
Speaker 1: very hard culturally as far as cultural significance in the
Speaker 1: next year. Yeah. No, absolutely, I think if we if
Speaker 1: we really broke it down, though, I think from two
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen two seventeen, it was all Easy. Everything was
Speaker 1: Easy Easy three. I mean there was some sneakers in there.
Speaker 1: There was some sneakers in there, but like, but you
Speaker 1: didn't hear about any of the sneakers. You didn't hear
Speaker 1: about really anything anything Nike much. I mean Easy controlled
Speaker 1: the media like and and I And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that like literal, I'm just saying it, like you didn't
Speaker 1: really hear much outside of the Easy releases, and you
Speaker 1: didn't hear because they're outside of the market, being totally
Speaker 1: just crazy uneasies, That's what I'm saying. I think two
Speaker 1: and seventeen was really just like Kanye, that's it. Like
Speaker 1: I I the only thing I wore was Adidas during
Speaker 1: those three years. I never had worn Adidas previous I
Speaker 1: honestly don't think I've ever owned a pair of Adidas
Speaker 1: sneakers previous to that. I was always a die hard
Speaker 1: Kanye fan, and you know, still I am, by the way,
Speaker 1: but now it's like all Travis Scott and you know,
Speaker 1: Jordan's like that's pretty much it. You know, like now
Speaker 1: people are seeing easy releases every now and then, they're
Speaker 1: just so kind of selling out, but they're not as
Speaker 1: crazy as they used to be. I think two dozen
Speaker 1: fIF two thousand seven teens with for sure yeasies, maybe
Speaker 1: it went from three fifty v ones to seven fifties
Speaker 1: to uh, seven hundreds and then I would say no,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say seven hundred. I'd say V twos.
Speaker 1: We're kind of like to take over. But now I
Speaker 1: feel like people are kind of getting over him. So
Speaker 1: what do you think was like two thousand eighteen and
Speaker 1: two nineteen, like what was the shoe of the year
Speaker 1: this year? A lot of people were saying, gosh, I
Speaker 1: mean the reinsurgence that that Jordan's Nike Brain came. I
Speaker 1: mean there were so many ones that came out the Union,
Speaker 1: Jordan's I mean the off whites. We can't forget those.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of opinions about it, but
Speaker 1: a lot of people were saying the last year, the
Speaker 1: sneaker of the year was the Union Jordan one. Everyone
Speaker 1: was rooting for that guy. And I mean, honestly, for me,
Speaker 1: I would say it's one of the best Jordan's. I mean,
Speaker 1: I personally wear the blue red white combo to fum blue. Yes,
Speaker 1: you would, You would know the official name better than
Speaker 1: I do, but I know that it's a fly looking
Speaker 1: Jordan one. Um. Obviously the red the red toe are
Speaker 1: the black toe with the red top and the in
Speaker 1: the gray swede on. It is something else that's just remarkable.
Speaker 1: But it's it's they're they're they're both probably top two
Speaker 1: Jordan's of the year for sure, But I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's it's just tough to say what's the best
Speaker 1: shoe of the year, you know, Yeah, it's what was
Speaker 1: your favorite of this year or last year? Two thousand nineteen.
Speaker 1: Oh man, you know, there's still a few shoes that
Speaker 1: are about to come out in twenty nineteen contend with
Speaker 1: the dunks. I don't know if they're really contenders. To
Speaker 1: be quite honest, like and remind me of what's all
Speaker 1: you know? Okay, So, so the skis Pschis came out
Speaker 1: this year, the waff Runners and the Blazers. Blazers and
Speaker 1: waff Runners super cool shout out of the Sky and
Speaker 1: Nike awesome collaboration. I'm a bigger fan of the waff Runners.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great shoe. Probably not the best
Speaker 1: one of the year. Travis Scott's Jordan One. I would
Speaker 1: say that Jordan one Low might be a contender. I
Speaker 1: know that's a very unpopular opinion. It is. I like
Speaker 1: the Low more than the High and I almost got
Speaker 1: crucified on my story. But and that's so, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, having an opinion that just differs
Speaker 1: is like what dialogue is all about. It's great. As
Speaker 1: much as everyone loves the Jordan One, I I'm not
Speaker 1: the really the biggest fan of it. Wow, that's like,
Speaker 1: I know, dunt, dunt. Yeah, I mean I'm not like
Speaker 1: what I wear it? Yeah, I do, I like it? Yes?
Speaker 1: Is it with my favorite? No? It really is not.
Speaker 1: I'd rather wear the Jordan one though. Um well, that's
Speaker 1: the thing. Like Jordan one, I never was a fan,
Speaker 1: and at a lot of people were in from the
Speaker 1: high piece. But I think what Travis did with the
Speaker 1: Jordan one Low was very good because I feel like
Speaker 1: beautiful every not not even like the like the color,
Speaker 1: and like his like backwards spurge. Like the actual shape
Speaker 1: of the shoe is entirely different than like a shattered
Speaker 1: backboard blow or like a bread Low or like a
Speaker 1: Royal Low, because it was just sleeker, you know, it
Speaker 1: didn't have that crazy looking heel in the back. It
Speaker 1: was made to be a shoe that you wear on
Speaker 1: the street, not a shoe you play basketball, which I
Speaker 1: really liked, and that's why I really loved the Eric
Speaker 1: costen um as b Jordan one lows, like the unc
Speaker 1: color way, and then I like the new ones that
Speaker 1: he's actually releasing, which are really really dope. Like that
Speaker 1: shape is sick. Like if all Jordan one lows came
Speaker 1: in that shape, I'd be We're enjoying one lows all day.
Speaker 1: But like the rest of them with that if they
Speaker 1: just have a really large heel and like you know,
Speaker 1: it's for like ankle support or like support, which makes
Speaker 1: sense because it's for basketball. But like I just think
Speaker 1: that Travis was really like, you know what, I want
Speaker 1: to give this kind of an s B vibe, and
Speaker 1: I kind of I wanted to be like a skate
Speaker 1: slash streetwear sneaker, Like you know what I mean, I
Speaker 1: can I can see that, Yeah for sure. So that's
Speaker 1: why I started liking him or not, because I mean genuinely,
Speaker 1: like I thought Eric Costin's Jordan One Low was that
Speaker 1: for I will say, shout out, shout out to Eric
Speaker 1: because that that's that's a fire shoe. It is. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of other shoes. In fact, while we're on
Speaker 1: the subject, I'm not gonna like probably name all of them,
Speaker 1: but we can't forget like the fragment clot air Force
Speaker 1: one that came out. I'm an air Force one guy.
Speaker 1: Like we've talked about fire. What's another? Oh yeah, this
Speaker 1: plant flea market. They came out with some air Force
Speaker 1: ones Fire. I like it. So that that's cool. She's
Speaker 1: killing it. The Blazers that she came out out with
Speaker 1: that are like mixed match. Those are pretty cool in
Speaker 1: my opinion about a lot of people might not say
Speaker 1: that's the top tier running shoe for the year, but
Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea and it was really
Speaker 1: cool to me. Um, you know, we're probably missing like
Speaker 1: ten shoes, but it was funny. That's that's that's that's
Speaker 1: the way. There wasn't like one that you were like damn,
Speaker 1: like either you got it and you immediately put on
Speaker 1: your foot or like you weren't able to get and
Speaker 1: you're like, ship, I really need this. Mm hmm. You
Speaker 1: know that that because last year, if there's usually a
Speaker 1: shoe I want, I'm gonna try it, I'm gonna get it.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but I don't want to say like I
Speaker 1: get every shoe I want. I'm not that guy. But
Speaker 1: no matter what, like I'll pay resil, I don't care. Um.
Speaker 1: Last year, for me, that shoe was the Hollow's Eve Blazer.
Speaker 1: That was my favorite true of last year. Um, I
Speaker 1: would say it's either at the top three best shoes
Speaker 1: of last year. I paid Resail for it. I didn't care.
Speaker 1: I like the black one better. I have the Hollows
Speaker 1: Eve too, but the black blazer to me is like,
Speaker 1: that's the that's a fire shoe. I wore that a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was a bigger fan of the
Speaker 1: Hollows Eve Like that was the first shoe I paid
Speaker 1: resoil for last year, overnight d to my house and
Speaker 1: wore them the next day. That's how much I love
Speaker 1: those shoes. The Blacks Split Swoosh air Force one CDG
Speaker 1: that was from last year, I believe, right, I think so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I got I got two or
Speaker 1: three pairs of those just to make sure that I
Speaker 1: had them. So like another amazing slept on. I feel
Speaker 1: like those are gonna be something that goes up next year.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna hear me go back to the silhouettes
Speaker 1: of the air Max one, the air Force one, the
Speaker 1: air Drawer and one. I I really think that it's
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to kind of pick a shoe for
Speaker 1: this year. But you know, um that that'll be a
Speaker 1: discussion for probably a different podcast with the May maybe
Speaker 1: I'll have, Yeah, I think it to be. I think
Speaker 1: I'll have some some guests on that will have a
Speaker 1: pretty heated debate, so it would be interesting. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like I can give a heated debate, but
Speaker 1: you know, I probably need a little bit more prep.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go back home and look through
Speaker 1: my closet of stuff that I'm just like sitting on
Speaker 1: and be like, oh wow, I remember this guy. We
Speaker 1: live in a busy world. You know, shoes are definitely
Speaker 1: something that I'm passionate about, but there's so much else
Speaker 1: going on in my life right now that actually I
Speaker 1: would be lying if I said that shoes they've taken
Speaker 1: a back burner. That's scary to say they'll never be
Speaker 1: irrelevant to me. But like again, there's just a lot
Speaker 1: of other things that are more important right now. So
Speaker 1: I'm always gonna have a fresh paretics. But uh, me
Speaker 1: being the best critic of every single shoe that's coming
Speaker 1: out on a current basis, it's just probably probably not.
Speaker 1: I was just I'm just curious to pick your brain
Speaker 1: on that one. But yeah, anyway, guys, um, we're a
Speaker 1: little bit sure for time. Um, I'm I apologize if
Speaker 1: the podcast sounds a little bit different. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not back in the studio in l A. And
Speaker 1: I'm in Hawaii trying to enjoy my time out here
Speaker 1: with Severino truly and a couple other friends that we
Speaker 1: have out here. So, um, Severino, this is uh your
Speaker 1: time right now. Go ahead, like leave us with something,

Speaker 1: you know, I think that we all have a lot
Speaker 1: of talents and and and ambitions in life, and I've
Speaker 1: chosen to chase several different ones of mine and I've
Speaker 1: kind of landed where I'm at right now with this
Speaker 1: kind of creative realm that I've kind of revolve inside
Speaker 1: of the reason I'm saying that is because I've always
Speaker 1: been really ambitious about doing what my my heart felt.
Speaker 1: So if I had to leave you with any words
Speaker 1: of wisdom, it would just be to really be ambitious
Speaker 1: and and disciplined about how to get where you want
Speaker 1: to get. Um. For me, it was just being determined
Speaker 1: and making sure I was accountable to the plan that
Speaker 1: I created for myself. Other than that, man, if there's
