Name:? Bernard Freeman aka Bun B of the UnderGround Kingz
Where you represent:? Houston, Texas (by way of Port Arthur!)
Shoe that got you hooked:? Probably the Jordan 1, and to be honest it might’ve been the price at first that captivated me..but by the 3 I was in like Flynn!
What’s on your feet:? CP3II Mardi Gras…gift from Chris and Jordan Brand!
Last pair you purchased:? Valentines Day Jordan 1 for the wife and British Tan Dunk High Premium for me…goes perfect with my tan suede New Era from St. Alfred!
Favorite pair you don’t own:? FLOM Dunk….I’ll probably want this shoe until the day I die!
Top 3 of all-time:? Jordan 3 white/cement grey, Nike Air Max 95 “Neon”, ’06 All-Star Air Force 1 Hyperstrike…Texas baby!
Which upcoming release are you looking forward to?:? The next Clark Kent-designed pack (I know things that you don’t!!!!)
If you weren’t a rapper you would probably be a:? pilot
One reason why shoes matter:? Shoes matter because some of us understand and respect the energy and hard work that goes into designing.
One reason you love shoes:? I love shoes because they communicate who I am and what I represent without me saying a word!
One thing that you dislike about the shoe game:? The proliferation of “sneakerheads” right now. It’s amazing how someone whose oldest shoe was released in the 2000’s can call himself that.? I understand everyone wants to fit in but this is getting ridiculous! But hey, I got love for everybody…tell you what..go to your grandparents house and see if dad’s old shoes are still in the basement…you might find an OG! I kid I kid!
