The thing that I realize about fashion now, fashion and music, now versus back then is that you had to have fresh records and be fresh.

As a writer, you have a huge ego. You think that every line means something to everybody the same way it means to you. And that's not true.

Even with social media and where we are...everything is about the look.

About the Sauconys, there are a lot of sneakers that are not as marketed as heavily as like Nike but those silhouettes are still fresh. I'll always go to a Saucony.

I didn't come in as a writer that found producers, I came in under producers. So I've always respected the actual production process and producers in general.

The passion for sneakers has been there since day one, but I never held onto them. I never shrunkwrap them. It's always been about getting it, buying it, wearing it, showing it and moving on to the next one.

I watch people all day long on Instagram, I take part in it too. It's like if you get the piece first, you have to immediately be like "BAH!" stunting.
