For most Boston sports fans, the New England Patriots’ unbelievable Super Bowl comeback ranks as the city’s top athletic accomplishment of 2017. For us more concerned with style than scoreboard? We’re gonna go with the teenager that ran around the Red Sox in Yeezys and a Bape hoodie.<\/p>\n
Meet Lucas Volpe<\/strong>. At 14-years-old and gaining internet attention for hitting the juke stick on Fenway Park security in items most either covet or condemn, it’s easy to write off the outlandish antic as a kid being a kid and the gear being for the ‘gram. While such conclusions are easy to assume — and provided context for some hilarious photo captions by the way — after talking to Lucas for only a short while it’s easy to find that like most youngsters, and hopefully for most of us millennials, fun is actually more important than fame and liking yourself is even more important than getting likes from others.<\/p>\n How do we know? We caught up with the Four-Pins favorite on the phone for a candid convo about why he likes Bape, his parents’ reaction to running out on the field and wanting to work in footwear or fashion. Hear what he had to say below.<\/p>\n Snkrs Day: To start, tell us a little about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucas Volpe:<\/strong> I’m 14 and I’m from Oxford, Massachusetts. I’m in eighth grade and I’m a sneakerhead.<\/p>\n Snkrs Day: When’d you first get into sneakers?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucas Volpe:<\/strong> Back in 6th grade when the Air Jordan 6 “Sport Blue” came out I was obsessed with them. I got them and then I just started flipping shoes.<\/p>\n Snkrs Day: That’s awesome. You’ll have to let me know about flipping kicks because for me, I’m 29 and a little removed from that era.<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucas Volpe:<\/strong> I mostly trade shoes. I do sell, too, but I trade most. I do it through Instagram and Facebook.<\/p>\n Snkrs Day: Do you always make sure to go to a safe location when you do meet-ups?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucas Volpe:<\/strong> Yeah.<\/p>\n Snkrs Day: Way to be, that stuff can get sketchy. Have you always been a Red Sox fan?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucas Volpe:<\/strong> Yeah! I’ve always been a fan, I probably go to like five games a season. I just love the Red Sox. I used to play baseball, but now I just play football and run track. I run the 4 x 1, throw discuss and I run the 200. I play tailback and corner in football.<\/p>\n Snkrs Day: Transitioning to the game… First off, fire outfit. What went into picking that out?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucas Volpe:<\/strong> I had just went to CNCPTS the day before and I saw the Bape hoody. I had planned on running on the field so I knew I had to get one of those. I’d always wanted one, so I had saved up. I picked that out, and then the “Red Octobers” I had been saving up forever. Once I had enough money for them I got them on Christmas Day, I bought them from my friend. Then the David Ortiz jersey I didn’t even have until right before the game. I knew I had to wear something Red Sox so I put that on over the Bape hoody.<\/p>\n Then the cargo shorts, that was the worst decision. The internet roasted me for that. [Laughs<\/em>] I just wore those to be able to run in them. I didn’t have any other shorts, so I picked those over True Religion jeans so I could run faster.<\/p>\n Snkrs Day: Bricked an outfit with cargo shorts myself. So you’d been planning for a while to run on the field?<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucas Volpe:<\/strong>: Yeah. Last summer some kid from Massachusetts ran across the field in a Harambe #69 jersey and I thought that was the funniest thing ever. So I wanted to do it, but I wanted to do it in something that was my style — Yeezys and Bape.<\/p>\n\n
