Casual classics, skate staples and signature standouts all get love from Fashawn<\/strong>. The Fresno MC keeps a balanced rotation, working well with his time on the stage, at the skate park and in the studio. As Fashawn readies the release of his new album The Ecology<\/em>, we caught up with him to hear what’s currently on his feet for the latest installment of My 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fashawn:<\/strong> “I’ve probably copped every color, but my favorite right now is the “Camo.” Those colors just kind of blend well with anything and that’s why I love that colorway so much. Stefan Janoski as a skater is what made me focus my attention on what he was doing with Nike. A lot of the shoes that I skate in get torn apart, but his shoe is really durable and it’s just a cool sneaker even at first glance.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fashawn:<\/strong> “I’ve got a bunch of kicks from Diamond. I’ve been rocking with Diamond ever since they were just nuts, bolts and supplies for skateboards. As far as their clothes, it’s stuff that I can wear to concerts or the skate park. Nicky Diamonds himself, as an entrepreneur and a visionary, has been a big inspiration and influence.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fashawn:<\/strong> “Air Jordan 1s are always on my feet. Those are a timeless sneaker, they’ll never go out of style. It could be 20 years from now and I’ll still have them in my closet. I usually wear those on stage, I’m not going to take those to the skate park. I put those on when I’m doing something important. Anytime I’m trying to chase greatness it doesn’t hurt having Jordans on your feet.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fashawn:<\/strong> “I usually try to pair those with something calm because there’s a lot going on with the shoe itself. I balance it out with a calm color, something neutral, preferably one of the colors that’s inside the “Digi Floral” scheme. I have the navy ones, but any colorway of those is pretty monster.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fashawn:<\/strong> “Those are a favorite as well, it’s like a classic that I can wear with anything. I wear the greys, the greens, the blues and sometimes the reds– but (for the most part) I only rock the Cortez in red. The 574 has been in my closet ever since Juelz Santana’s first album. That’s how I first got introduced to them.”<\/p>\n Keep up with Fashawn on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>. The Ecology<\/em> releases on September 30th and features guest spots from Nas, Aloe Blacc, Dom Kennedy and more. Fashawn will also be featured on the Mass Appeal Vol. 1 Compilation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Casual classics, skate staples and signature standouts all get love from Fashawn.
