Growing up in Manila, I was heavily involved in hip-hop and dance. Throughout my dance sessions, I'd always make sure to wear a pair of comfortable shoes! The Nike Cortez "All White" was the pair I fell in love with and the rest is history.
That moment would probably be during the time of 2011 J1 Breds. You can never go wrong with the classics, and this colorway has made a mark in the sneaker industry because of the pair's history in the NBA.
During those times, it was very difficult to obtain a pair of Jordan 1s! So I've saved up to purchase it along with the 2013 J1 Royals.
Every time I wear a new pair of shoes, I feel like anything I wear just complements it.
I admire YSL, a simple yet elegant brand that goes with my style. Another would be the APOC store because of its unique takes on garments, furniture, and more.
Last but not least, Carhartt pieces are comfy and durable for my everyday outfit errands.
It would probably be Nike and my favorite graffiti artist, Keith Haring.
My go-to pairs weekly are Yeezy 700 'Static,' Nike Sacai Vaporwaffle B/W, Yeezy Foam Runners, Crocs x Salehe Bembury, and Nike Dunk B/W.
None at the moment; I am just contented with what I have :)
My Prada re-edition nylon Bag and YSL Court classic sneakers are my essentials.
