Colors are very important to me.

I was always drawn to bright colors like neon, orange, yellow, and red.

It’s tied directly to being born and raised in the #USVirginIslands and seeing lots of colors throughout the Caribbean.

Clothes in the ‘80s were pushing lots of colors and neon colors were big from brands like #OceanPacific, VUARNET, Benetton Group, Esprit, and #CrossColours.

I loved it!

Then, there was a massive shift to more earth tones in the mid-90s, and it had a lot to do with movies and music videos that explored culturally-based themes. (Think: Janet Jackson’s “That’s The Way Love Goes” music video.)

When you think of the ‘90s, what colors come to mind for you?

So glad to find out that the proceeds of the @Puma x Nipsey Hussle capsule will go to the Neighborhood Nip Foundation when Puma releases it on September 5, 2019.

While Nipsey is no longer with us in the physical, his legacy lives through all of the people that loved him and vibed to his music.

™️From the @NipseyHussle IG:

Our team is proud to announce that our first collaborative capsule with Puma drops on September 5th 2019. Nipsey spearheaded this project from concept to final product over the course of last year, flying to meetings, reviewing samples, bringing in material references he liked, and most importantly ensuring that it reflected his style authentically with no compromise. Each detail from logo placement, fit, colorways, and materials was thoughtfully done. His signature style and DNA can be found in each garment that’s part of this collection from the khaki suit to the tracksuit. This project is very special to our team and we’re handling it with the utmost care to ensure it’s delivered exactly as Nipsey envisioned it. It’s a privilege for us to honor his commitment and carry out this project for people to receive a personally curated collection by Nip Hussle Tha Great!

Hat tip to @ShoePalace for the 4️⃣1️⃣1️⃣ 🙏🏾

The Converse Brillo kicks are special and immediately make me think about my Grandmother and the family-owned 🇻🇮 restaurant where I used Brillo soap 🧼 pads.

If you’re not familiar with Christopher D. Burns, MFA writing and books about Nike and others’ approach to direct-to-consumer in the new normal, then please do me a favor and check out his website at www.Arch-USA.com.

He has 2 great books that are a must haves “Sneaker Resale & Retail in the New Normal” and his previous book “Nike’s Consumer Direct Offense, Amazon & StockX: The Disruption of Sneaker Retail”.

I was a guest on the Afro-American News’ Facebook live to talk about sneakers and how teenagers like David ‘DJ’ Lee are reselling sneakers and running their own business.

We discussed “The Last Dance”, brands such as Diadora, Ellesse, Le Coq Sportif, and the impact that Baltimore has had on sneaker culture.
