My Sneaker Story—Dion Walcott
Read Transcript
Sneaker culture attaches itself to hip-hop culture so the real birth of sneaker culture would come out of hip-hop culture and then the branch is only as strong as the tree so the tree of hip-hop is super strong so therefore it's only a matter of time before everything else involves as well and in reality music sneaker culture a seem different visually but they're both built on storytelling sneaker culture is very rich and smart storytelling so I think that anytime there's a story to tell that it's gonna continue to evolve versus any other cultures right and I'm not plugged into that many other cultures so I may be a little bit biased but I think because sneaker culture is attached to a bigger culture called hip-hop that's why I continue to evolve

Sneakers are something you can control. Nobody can tell you what you can or can't put on your feet. But it also tells the story of who you are, first and foremost. The expression from what's on your feet, it shows who you are as a person.
