I want to see a longer interview with him. He's clearly a great story teller. Seems like a missed opportunity for some great content.

He’s great, and he’s right his Jordan 1´s is one of the greatest pair of sneakers in history to me. Now he needs to do the air flight huarache x Union and I could die in peace 😂

Look at how nicely the Union AJ1 ages, the leather patina looks great with the oxidized midsole. Definitely adds character to a vintage look.
