The school year is kicking off as summer finally comes to a close. While the school year might look different, some things will luckily remain the same. We can all agree that bringing the heat on the first day of school sets the tone for the entire school year.<\/p>\n

We caught up with Eric King, a rising senior in Chicago, as he walks us through his #FirstDayFit with the Air Jordan 5 Retro “Alternate Bel-Air”<\/strong> through his lens (literally).<\/p>\n

Take a look at how King implements his unique style with the Air Jordan 5 Retro “Alternate Bel-Air”<\/strong>\u00a0below. Stay tuned for more back to school Jordan drops at Snipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Importance of a #FirstDayFit<\/h1>\n

Snkrs Day:<\/strong> What\u2019s the importance of a #FirstDayFit for you?<\/p>\n

Eric King:<\/strong> The importance of the #firstdayfit is that it sets the tone and attitude for the school year. If I start off the year looking good, and feeling good, I will continue to keep that energy throughout the year and ultimately I will thrive. Why not succeed in style?<\/p>\n

Plans for the Upcoming School Year<\/h1>\n

NK:<\/strong> Despite the new normal we\u2019re all in, what are you looking forward to the most this school year?<\/p>\n

King:<\/strong> Despite the new normal, what I’m looking forward to the most this year is my AP Digital Media class. I’m excited to see what ways we will be creative in order to overcome our current situation and move forward with productivity. I’m always willing to learn\u00a0more and advance my craft, and I’m sure that my instructor will put me in the position to do so.<\/p>\n

King’s Aspirations for the Future<\/h1>\n

NK:<\/strong> You\u2019re entering your last year of high school. What are some goals you have as you look towards your next chapter in life?<\/p>\n

King:<\/strong>\u00a0Some goals I have for the next chapter of life are opening an in-home studio, directing and shooting a music video, shooting a campaign for a brand, going on tour with an artist, and ultimately building my portfolio to be more diverse.<\/p>\n

Favorite Part of the Air Jordan 5 Retro<\/h1>\n

NK:<\/strong> What\u2019s your favorite aspect about the Air Jordan 5 in general?<\/p>\n

King:<\/strong> My favorite aspect of the Air Jordan 5 has to be the spiky midsole and the netting. The rest of the shoe is simple and clean, but the midsole and the netting stands out and gives the shoe it’s unique feel.<\/p>\n

How to Style the Air Jordan 5 Retro “Alternate Bel-Air”<\/h1>\n

NK:<\/strong> The Air Jordan 5 Retro \u201cAlternate Bel-Air\u201d derives from a classic. How do you plan on styling the remix?<\/p>\n

King:<\/strong> I plan on styling the remix with vibrant and energetic garments to flow with the hues of the shoe.<\/p>\n

King’s Photography Style<\/h1>\n

NK:<\/strong> You have a very unique style of photography. What\u2019s your favorite part about the portraits you capture?<\/p>\n

King:<\/strong> My favorite part about the portraits I capture is the compositions and tones that I apply to them. My interesting and center-focused compositions give attention to my subject, along with my fluid editing tones.<\/div>\n

The Importance of Style<\/h1>\n
\n

NK:<\/strong> How important is style in your everyday life?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

King:<\/strong> Style is very important to me because it’s another way to express yourself, and it also follows along with your attitude. If I look good, I feel good. Putting together and trying out new looks not only gives you good impressions but it also opens doors for versatility, helping you find yourself with no limitations.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
