“Even if you are not familiar with basketball, when you hear the name Michael Jordan you think of Excellence. That name goes beyond basketball, it can be used as an adjective to describe someone in the highest level of a certain field. You can be the Michael Jordan of skateboarding, The Michael Jordan of Engineering, etc. Being able to be aligned with such greatness is surreal. What I strive to do is show all kids that look like me, that they can be Michael Jordan in whatever they decide to do. Being able to work on this shoe shows that you can accomplish anything you truly set your mind to. A kid from Crenshaw can design his own Jordan shoe. And this project represents just that.”
