Baron Davis sees things differently. And when you work with him, you quickly realize just how creative his mind is. 🧠👟 @sneaker_sean and @geoffdeas share what it’s like designing with @barondavis, from his unexpected design suggestions to the sheer volume of ideas he brings to the table. But what really stood out was the combination of creativity and organization. Baron doesn’t just dream big. He finds ways to connect people, bring businesses together, and help others grow. For Sean and Geoff, working with someone who thinks beyond the shoe makes the creative process that much more exciting. 🎙️ Made to Last — Episode 10: Odd Labs | How 3D Printing Built a Brand, hosted by @theomarbailey and @duanealawrence. 🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

💡 What happens to all the great ideas that never make it to production? For @sneaker_sean and @geoffdeas, years of discarded sketches at ANTA sparked a bigger question: what if those ideas didn’t have to end up in the trash? Enter ODD Footwear @odd_footwear - an incubation model designed to help athletes turn their ideas into real products. But the journey to finding their first partner took an unexpected turn at ComplexCon, when they approached @iambarondavis with a pitch to design him a shoe. He had a different idea: he wanted to be a business partner. 😂 Sometimes the right opportunity comes when you least expect it. 🎙️ @theomarbailey and @duanealawrence sit down with Sean and Geoff on Made to Last — Episode 10: Odd Labs | How 3D Printing Built a Brand. 📺 Watch on YouTube or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

You don’t get a signature shoe on potential alone. You have to prove it. 👟🎤 On this episode of Made to Last, @sneaker_sean and @geoffdeas compare the sneaker industry to the music business: before you get the major-label deal, you need to drop a hot mixtape. Build your audience, create demand, and prove you can sell independently. From their conversation with The Professor to the realities of building an athlete’s brand, the message is clear: Prove it. Make it undeniable. Then go get the bag. 🎙️ Hosted by @theomarbailey and @duanealawrence. 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube, or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

9 months courting. 6 months negotiating. All hours of the day. Seeing through the negative press. Building relationships with Kyrie’s team and family. That was @sneaker_sean and @geoffdeas experience getting #kyrieirving to sign with the brand. As Sean put it, “Somebody put in some work.” Want the full story?

For Sean and Geoff 3D printing has opened doors to their imagination. Not all concepts need to brought to life, however. Some become design language that sets the blueprint for a “company to become a brand”.
