H\u00e9ctor Herrera: <\/strong>As a Mexican, it\u2019s an honor to be able to get these shoes and for [Nike] to make shoes in honor of Day of the Dead (D\u00eda De Los Muertos). It\u2019s a huge tradition in Mexico. My mother passed away, and this is a way to remember her. It\u2019s an honor to be Mexican and to be a part of this collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NK: How important is it for brands to touch on Latin American tradition and other events?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n HH:<\/strong> It\u2019s important. The brands always intend to sign the best players and the best events and traditions, like Day of the Dead. It would be good for [brands] to do [collections] for other cultures and countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NK: How\u2019s Houston and MLS been treating you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n HH: It\u2019s different. The family is happy and has adapted. The [Houston Dynamo] is playing well. I\u2019m enjoying MLS and [Houston\u2019s] culture a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NK: The league continues to grow with domestic players and international stars such as yourself, Carlos Vela, and most recently Lionel Messi. How important is that for the league?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n HH: <\/strong>The arrival of Messi and [Sergio] Busquets and the ones before them has been very important for the league\u2019s growth. More players of high quality will continue to join, and it\u2019ll help the league become bigger than it already is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay up-to-date with the latest news and sneaker releases by following Snkrs Day<\/a> on Instagram and checking the sneaker release date<\/a> page.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In Latin America, primarily in Mexico, the Day of the Dead, referred to as D\u00eda de los Muertos, is an annual tradition…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":328301,"featured_media":1232636,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1224791,1239144,1233902],"tags":[],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/09\/hector-herrera-1-750x750.jpeg\")
