I Attended My First Sip + Paint With Jordan Women To Celebrate The Launch Of The Satin Black Toe At SVRN

A few weeks ago I attended my first ‘Sip & Paint’ courtesy of Jordan at SVRN. SVRN is one of the newest sneaker boutiques here in Chicago’s West Loop area. The shop carries a ton of different brands including Jordan. A select group of women were invited to enjoy an evening of painting and fun. We were later gifted a pair of the highly anticipated Satin Black Toe Jordan 1’s. Our art was hung on the wall during the after party the next day.

I had an amazing time and so grateful for the experience. I’ll have a vlog dropping this month for a behind the scenes look!

What I'm Watching This Week: Aleali May 'Get It Together' with Melody Ehsani, Sole Origins 'Air Jordan 1' and more.

Aleali May goes shopping with Melody Ehsani on Slauson Swap Meet and talk about sneakers and her inspiration for her brand. This was dope to see these two link up ahead of what we can expect from her coming from Jordan Brand.

If you know me then I'm about all things Chicago and the Sole Origins 'Complexcon Chicago' discusses Michael Jordan's influence on the city with appearances from Joe Fresh Goods, PJ Tucker, Joe La Puma, Marcus Jordan and more.

Don C, Wale and NBA icon Allen Iverson chat about the history of sneakers in hip-hop. They discuss Kanye's first deal with Nike, Run DMC and their adidas and Allen Iverson discusses his history with Reebok. A good discussion that came about from this roundtable is basketball sneakers being able to transition from court to street and Jordans are the only sneaker that does it seemlessly. I think the Air Fear Of God 1 might be a runner up.
