It took this to get here

Revisiting core memories of the past to better understand the present and amplify the future.

I’m beyond words and incredibly humbled and grateful to everyone who joined the Team and me at ‘Homecourt’ last Friday. What started as a pencil sketch became reality, and it’s an experience I’ll carry with me forever. None of this would have been possible without every incredible individual who shared their time and talents to bring this vision to life as one team — The Avengers.

To my brothers @austinneely and @mitchjames , thank you for the endless hours, sacrifices, and unwavering belief in me and in us @movingparts.us. Every idea, late-night conversation, and detail made this experience feel like a perfectly orchestrated symphony.

To @zanah_marie and the @s27group Team, thank you for bringing every detail to life. One of my favorite moments was recreating my late grandmother’s Sari-Sari (bodega) store. I truly felt her smiling down on us that evening.

To @oogie4life and the entire @svrnshop Team, thank you for trusting us and celebrating this release with our community. We’ve come a long way since the DTS days.

To the Jordan Brand Chicago Team, @mickeymonday , @badchurchboy , @corbin_t , @karinthedesigner , @ladykream , and the entire Jordan Brand Team, thank you for believing in this dream and helping bring that “Chicago kids to the world!” spirit full circle.

To @jasonmayden , @jacob_brosky , @joemurrayaboutit , and the entire Jordan Brand Team, thank you for taking a chance on us nearly three years ago and helping us amplify our community through art, design, and stories inspired by the greatest player ever.

To our families, friends, the city, and everyone who supported us along this journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing, showing up, and sharing this space with love and respect.

Maraming maraming salamat sa lahat sa suporta 🙏🏽🇵🇭✨
