Today we talkin’ Kicks! 

Fresh off ComplexCon Las Vegas, I reflect on the moments that defined the weekend, from the Jordan 11 activations repping Houston, Atlanta, and Vegas to the Sneaker of the Year panel and the LAAMS Air Force 1 pop up. As well as the Air Max 95000. This episode taps into the pulse of fashion, culture, and the energy that connects us all.

Today we talkin’ BFF 2025!

This week I’m sharing my experience at the 2025 Black Footwear Forum, presented by Pensole Lewis College. The weekend carried a theme that resonated deeply: own your power, define your future. Surrounded by brilliant Black creatives and leaders, I felt the weight and beauty of what it means to belong in a space built for us, by us. From conversations with artists and storytellers to insights from executives and innovators, every moment reinforced the truth that community is the foundation of progress. Dr. D’Wayne Edwards’ unwavering vision continues to shape this sacred ground, a sacred space where that message becomes lived truth, pushing us to learn, build, and carry the culture forward together.

I hope you’ve been well and if not, remember that all that is not will be. 

This week on Thoughts for the Sole, I’m breaking down my favorite sneaker pick-ups of 2025 (so far), from surprise drops to long-awaited heat. It’s already been a strong year, and the best might still be ahead.

I’m also sharing a powerful moment I had with the Adidas Cornerstone Community, a space created by 82. Purple and hosted by Lee Baron. The energy, the intention and the unity was all so amazing.

Today we talkin’ Kicks!

Caught up with Mike G. from The Sneaker History Podcast, one of the historians  in the game. We talked about when he first fell in love with kicks, those early days working at the shop (when the check went straight to kicks and rent), and how he feels about the current state of this game we love. We also got into what it has meant for me to rediscover and redefine my passion for this space. #PressPlay

Today we talkin’ Kicks! The NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco was even more legendary off the court as it was on it. From top-tier brand activations to unforgettable connections, the energy was truly next level. Jordan Brand and Nike stole the show with an insane showcase including the leak of a future basketball shoe banger. This week on Thoughts for the Sole, we’re breaking down how my photos set the internet on fire and how Nike just setup an amazing year. Did you feel the energy? #PressPlay

In this episode of Thoughts for the Sole, I’m breaking down my early must-have sneakers for the year, pairs that are setting the tone and making plenty of waves in the sneaker space this year. Are these kicks worth the cop, or will we be looking at a resale disaster? #pressplay

 Short and sweet. Today we are talking about all of the happenings from September and October in the LXNG world. Worked on my first major campaign(Nike) and then another one! I’ve been tremendously blessed. And then we dive into one of my most memorable pick ups from this year and what I’m looking forward to the rest of the way. Some how I forgot to mention the Mocha Jumpman Jacks but they are on the list too! #pressplay

This week I dive into my transformative experience at the Black Footwear Forum by Pensole Lewis College and FDRA.

From the artists to the CEO's, this past weekend was a true testament to the power of community and the pursuit of dreams. Dr. D'Wayne Edwards' vision and dedication truly created a sacred space. #pressplay
