Although Virgil is no longer here, Lorenzo hopes that he can honor the late designer by committing to his craft and continuing his work. Virgil inspired so many to take risks and for Lorenzo, that’s what his art is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“That’s the beauty of a lot of my work. It’s not methodical. Some of my work I can recreate, but some of it is a freestyle. Every pair is unique. I decide what theme I want to do when I have the shoes in hand, but once I start, it often gets adapted and changed. Sometimes I’ll do a shoe for the first time and have an idea of the colorway, but once I start, it’ll look terrible and then I’ll be like shit \u2013 I have to try and save this. Then sometimes I create something really cool, which I couldn’t have created in the first place.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you look at Lorenzo’s Instagram, you see a mosaic of white tiles with inspiring colors that seem otherworldly. On the outside looking in, he may seem esoteric and perhaps too cool, but truthfully, there is something easy-going and child-like about him. He would often get wide-eyed, with a big smile on his face before speaking about sneakers. However, it’s this type of authenticity that also allows you to feel his heartbreak when speaking on his career’s shortcomings. Yet with all the good and the bad, the trials and errors, the wins and the losses, we know that Lorenzo is destined to make things happen for himself. More than just his talent, wisdom, and passion for sneakers, Lorenzo’s commitment to being his authentic self and doing what makes him happy, is sure to carry him far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
