rebellionairecincy.com<\/a> for our ticketing because we want to make sure that people got an experience. Also, the website featured posts that people made throughout the week. We actually sold out all of the shows, all the workshops in about eight hours. So now the pressure was off there, I just had to make sure that our guest speakers did an amazing job. We did have Eric Sandy here who was the lead on this project and he is from the Tri-state (Ohio\/Indiana\/Kentucky), so that was our secret weapon at the end, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMan, they just kept getting bigger. On Wednesday, obviously sold out, but still felt like we could have had more people in the room. Thursday, we had to add chairs because people were at the door and we felt we can accommodate them. Then Friday morning came, we had our workshop, we had kids coming in from the inner city or the school districts, right? Well, on Friday, we actually had three busloads of kids, I guess there was just a miscommunication between them and leadership. So we were already cramped because one school, they brought 100 kids while we got another 125 kids in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just couldn’t believe it, that they’ve become this thing because it just made my heart so full because of these kids. I never went to a Jordan event during school, I skipped school to go to Cleveland to go see the Love Truck when the Jordan 18 campaign happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI’ve been to L.A., I’ve been to Chicago, I’ve been to New York when all these big events were going on, and to bring it home, it was amazing. Not even just because it was Jordan Brand, but we went above and beyond with this. We had a budget and we actually tripled that budget because I believe in it and I believe that we were going to set the tone again for the NBHD release and the accountants that are going to have this opportunity next. Now you got to follow me up and that’s just what I want to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My Jordan rep knows how I get down and they know how serious I am with this. Last week, I would bet I only got like three hours of sleep each night because I just want to make sure that we were right for the next day or even coming up to the release. We sold those shoes from 8 AM to about 4:30. And everybody in my city got them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NK: That’s always the best part to hear whenever these activations are going on is that people got pairs. It’s not like they only had 20 pairs there.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMT: I had to comment to somebody earlier when they were like, “Man, I ain’t get them.” Did you really try? Because I feel like as you have been there, we would have had a pair for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNK: What’s next for Corporate? I know you guys have the one-year anniversary for the Indianapolis store and are just coming off that Indiana Pacers collab. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMT: I just want you to tell everybody, this isn’t the end for me, this is just opening the door to my next opportunity. And I think my next opportunity, I would hope, is again a project that the brand can know that I’m going to exceed all expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
