“This heightened expression of the ‘Tech Explosion’ design became the core theme for to storytell. I found a parallel to the shoe’s distinctive design which had materials literally breaking out of it’s conventional paneling, to the rise of indie DJ’s in NYC experimenting with remixes, blending genres and creating the new soundtrack for a resurging dance music scene. Dance music of the 90s was a milestone in my life as a teen starting off as a DJ and a dancer, well before I got into the streetwear business. Seeing a revival of this moment amongst today’s youth makes me excited to see how music evolves and how the dance scene may even influence what is the new design code for street fashion.”
