With the Denim Tears pop up buzzing in the background, TheStockroom has a conversation with the multi-layered and sometimes polarising individual that is Tremaine Emory, a man that isn't always seen but his work is always felt. We talk about Denim Tears being used as a vehicle to tell black stories, the controversy around his time at Supreme and the importance of his family in encouraging his journey. Make sure you have a note pad and pen, you're about to hear some gems!

Welcome to TheStockroom and today it's all about black excellence! As we approach the end of the year we wanted to highlight some of the recent releases from black collaborators including the Nike Wu-Tang's Nike Dunk, Skepta's Puma Skope Mid Boot, the Corteiz x Nike Air Trainer Huarache Gully Grey etc. Bolu, Eman, and Michael also pay homage to DJ Clarke Kent, a champion of sneaker and music culture and a friend to many, who recently passed away.

We also touch on the sale of OFF WHITE by LVMH, to Bluestar Alliance, on the anniversary of Virgil's passing. We get into the details of the deal, whether the timing was simply a coincidence and what this could mean for the future of OFF WHITE.

As always be sure to let us know your thoughts!

In today's episode of TheStockroom we speak to Cherise AKA Dripeisha a multi-disciplinary artist and founder of SEKANI. Having worked with the likes of Netflix, Nike, Clarks etc. and several artists across her disciplines such as rug making, creative direction and photography, Cherise is becoming a household name and if you haven't heard of her yet you will soon!

Bolu, Eman and Michael also touch on the importance of Cherise's heritage in how she carries herself today and the pressures that come with being a creative, as we dive into issues such as imposter syndrome and how that can hinder a creatives journey.

We apologise for the audio issues in this episode as Michael's microphone didn't pick him up properly, but we hope you can still enjoy it all the same!
