Thoughts for the Sole by HigherLXNG

Today we talkin’ kicks! Jordan 11s. Christmas Js. They have always been the gift that keeps on giving. In its heyday, from 2008 - 2014, holiday releases were pure chaos. The Concord XI that released in 2011 created one of the most infamous moments in sneaker history. A moment that nearly didn’t happen. I caught up with the reporter who covered that day, John Donnelly. He breaks down what went into that viral moment and in what ways it impacted his life. And no, John is not a shoe connoisseur. #PressPlay

Life is the result of your choices and perspectives. Today we converse with Tyler Mansour, owner and founder of MakeShift Studio. He takes us on a fascinating journey from his beginnings in Goose Creek, South Carolina, where a free camera sparked his creativity, to the big city in New York. We discuss his legacy building, and industry shifting, tenure at KITH where Tyler captured some of the most captivating images in sneakers. Sometimes called the Lace Whisperer”, he speaks on the meticulous preparation that goes into product photography and how the most simple things are not always what they seem. Tyler then expounds upon the vision he has for MakeShift Studios and what he wants to achieve in the spaces that he occupies.

Above all we also have a very candid, and vulnerable, discussion on life and navigating it.

The power is truly in the doing. #PressPlay and dive into a part of his story.

                The blog era was truly one of my favorite eras when it came to music and sneakers. Today we converse with Riblets, a writer for Epsilon Magazine who is keeping that feeling alive. We talk about his unorthodox journey to covering sneakers through writing and also by way of photography. Riblets speaks on the day that it all made sense for him, but how the answers  only came to him after he kept doing the work that he was passionate about.

                 The power is truly in the doing. #PressPlay on the conversation.
