For our latest My 5<\/strong><\/em>, we had a chance to sit down and talk with one of the hottest DJs in the world. Dillon Francis<\/strong> has traveled the world playing the biggest tours as well as doing a monthly residency in Las Vegas! Dillon has worked with artists including his great friend Diplo, as well as other top artists like Calvin Harris, Skrillex, DJ Snake and Lil Jon. Check out what’s in his rotation in the pages below.<\/p>\n Dillon Francis:<\/strong> “When the first black one dropped, they sold out and I missed out. I have three pairs of the white ones and absolutely love these! They have a toned down athletic feel that I feel I can wear with anything. I love anything that NikeLab does! Here is something that many might not know about me, but I use to work at The Hundreds when they first started. I initially never thought I was a sneakerhead back then and now looking at my closet I guess I am a sneakerhead because I have no space in my closest because shoes are everywhere!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dillon Francis:<\/strong> “Most comfortable shoe ever! I feel these are the most sought after shoe ever right now! They are sooo good! Since they sold out at stores I bought two pairs of the all-white Ultra Boost on eBay, because I think these are the most comfortable shoes that I\u2019ve ever worn. I also feel these shoes look good with anything you wear! It\u2019s a big thing for me that the shoes I wear are super versatile and go good with anything I wear!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dillon Francis:<\/strong> “I used to skate way back in the day. I sucked so much I ended up turning into one of the guys that film and take photos (no shots to the guys who do that and are actually good at skating!) I\u2019ve always worn skate shoes and the Gonz shoes are a great switch up from wearing black and white, and I love the burgundy colorway and the low profile of the shoes. I love the way the shoes feel so close to the ground and less thick. I love the way the three stripes are on one side of the shoe and in the inside are blank.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dillon Francis:<\/strong> “I\u2019m not sure that many people who\u2019ve done this interview have featured boots, but way way back I use to be obsessed with the 1950\u2019s. I use to wear a pompadour hairstyle and wear cardigans with ties. I always, always tried to find a pair of boots that fit my feet well, but could never find them in LA. I have baby feet! I wear a size 10.5 but my feet are very skinny! I ended up finding these boots in Japan and these boots fit incredible. These boots are suppose to we worn in, I think you have to walk 100 miles to break them in. I really like the fit of these boots and they make me feel like a rugged man! Rugged man boots!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\nNikeLab Payaa<\/h2>\n
