I think it's possible. Look, I think we all go through phases where the way we dress is a reflection of a particular moment, and I think Nike Air VaporMax Femme it's fine to tap into something that makes you feel like the best version of you. So if you find those shoes to be fun and they make you feel confident and you love the way that they look and you even are able to Nike Air Max Classic BW Mujer go a little bit deeper, and you can understand where they're coming from and how they're actually a little ironic, then that's great. That's cool. Hopefully, you won't look back and be like, "Dang, I look a little strange."You mentioned going into the Air Force 1 project with these hang-ups. I imagine that that wasn't the case when you were tackling the Vandal.
Honestly, in the big projects that I've done with Nike, the Nike Air Huarache Mujer Vandal was probably the most effortless because I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Just because of how familiar I am with the silhouette and because I grew up wearing it, skating in it. The silhouette Nike Air Max 90 Mujer really works with our aesthetic. Not so much what we send down the runway, but for how our customer dresses on a daily basis, the Vandal is the perfect shoe to start.
Do you still skate in them?
Man, I actually Nike Air Max Zero Mujer skated for the first time, I wanna say 2 weeks ago with my little cousin and it was just because he was in LA and I was like, "Alright, yeah, let's go." We went to a local school and I hadn't skated in probably a year and a half, 2 years. I did not skate in a Vandal that day.
Did it go alright, though?
It was fine. It's just like playing basketball. Skating and hooping are young men's games. Falling as a 35-year-old man Nike Air Max 270 Mujer is something that's like, "Okay, I don't need to be doing this right now." And it's a little bit embarrassing to have a conversation with [an executive] at Barneys and you have a giant cut on the palm of Nike Roshe Run Womens your hand, and they’re like, "How'd you do that?" And you're like, "Oh, skating."
I wanted to get you to reflect on this year. You've done one Nike collaboration after the other and then you had this huge fashion Adidas Superstar Mujer show that you did here in New York. How do you explain all your recent success?Honestly, it's a couple things. I think that in this fashion landscape, you have to have doors that get opened in order for your ideas to be looked at. I feel lucky that we're in the conversation. Because being in the conversation is not a given. The second part of that is you have to deliver and you have to push yourself to combine challenging Nike Air Huarache Mujer concepts with craft. I think as a brand the success that we've seen monetarily has allowed us to make good decisions with hiring and we've been able to really stack the brand up with a bunch of A-plus Nike Air Vapormax Femme players.Yeah, I think the brand has grown. In the past we've had to be scrappy—there's that video of me driving my grandmother's car with fabric rolls in back. Now we have more resources and we have, honestly, more Nike Air Max 1 Ultra Moire Womens talented people. Not that we didn't have talented people before, we just didn't have very many. I remember the first fashion show we did—the show that Kanye came to—we literally had seven people in the company when we Nike Air Force 1 Mujer pulled that show off. Now it's five times that, six times that.
