    Paul spends 12 minutes talking about what makes the various kicks cool.... To me ... He owns em... Makes them cool. These are the guys responsible for the "street culture" we love. Real deal, no posers.

      TUME 1 I sorta get that mane but to me subcultures always collided in my world whether it was skating or playing in punk bands or hip hop, I feel like these things have always had common ground so it makes sense to see extensions of it in different places if that makes sense

    God this dude was once my idol literally growing up skating. I remember just hoping some day I'd be able to own some Nike SB product. Zumiez and other local skate shops didn't sell any Nike SB merch. It was literally like foreign to these stores around Denver. Places only sold Nike 6.0. I never thought I'd own a pair of J-Rod's and now they're 1 of my prized possessions as a grown man. I'll always look up to Rod even though I don't skate anymore. He definitely shaped who I am today.
