The YJL Sneaker collection is an intersection of luxury, fine art and fortitude. As a kid growing up on the Southside of Chicago, a ‘sneakerhead’ long before the phrase was ever coined, I was a part of a subculture that would reshape the American landscape forever. Hip-hop was in its infancy and my friends and I were both raising it, and being raised by it. The rest of the country guaranteed it would die out, but we were forging a global phenomenon. We not only created industries, we cemented our place as the world’s official trendsetter and most prominent cultural influencer.
