It was always about community & culture, and this is only a snapshot.

Got to live out all my childhood dreams and meet people I’ll forever call family along the way. Created one of the first sneaker gameshows, relaunched the Nike eBay Dunk, collaborated with @metalwoodstudio, met my hero and my now friend @nicolemclaughlin, got myself featured in Thrasher with the homies, and ate enough Nobu for 5 lifetimes.

They say it takes a team to go far, and damn, were they right. The late nights, wagyu dinner (bans), questionable banter, and adventures across the country made it feel like we were on tour. Without the record deal.

Wouldn’t trade any of it. What a fucking run.

“Gotta reach that frequencyyyyy”

February 2003 Issue 161 scans of @thesource magazine ad of the @jumpman23 Jordan 18 “Love Is” marketing campaign.

Scanned at 300dpi for a test run but will eventually do 600 for a bit more quality. I cropped and left some borders + edges to replicate the feel of actually looking at a scan rather than have clean lines…something I’m genuinely a freak about.

I’ve always wanted to have these scanned & printed on wooden plaques to have hung in a hallway or a room somewhere. Anyways here’s some nostalgia for everybody.

Growing up outside Canada, cricket and soccer were my games. Even after 15 years in Ottawa, baseball puzzled me. It wasn't until I moved to Toronto in 2014 that I gave the @bluejays a shot, and it's been a family affair ever since.

The two men in this picture are two of the most talented artists on the planet and I’ve been lucky enough to not only make music with them but call them my dawgs for over a decade. Recently while me and music have chosen to a break from each other these mfs have kept pushing and kept the @stayoutlate name shining. This Thursday you get the rare pleasure of seeing the band back together on stage. If you’ve ever seen us touch a stage you know it’s a magical thing that I will say we do quite well and honestly not often enough. If you’ve never seen us. Grab that damn ticket and come witness one of the greatest shows you’ve ever seen. I’d like close by saying DAAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE! 🇨🇦

Sneakercon 2025 was an absolute movie! 🎬 The energy, the sneakers and people reminded us why we started Sole Reviver in the first place. 🙌🏽

From $40 steals to $10,000 grails and cleaning kicks right off people’s feet 👟🔥

We’re beyond thankful for everyone who stopped by, showed love, and trusted us with their pairs. 💙 Huge shoutout to @waltersshoecare & @monsterenergy for powering up this event @sneakercon ⚡️

Another amazing chapter in the journey. Did you miss out on this year Sneakercon? Where should we pop up next? 👇🏽

…And just like that we’ve made it to the Equinox…Where everything comes into harmony…The balance between light and dark..

Today marks 95 days without alcohol ( the longest I’ve gone in over 20 years ) Currently on the path to becoming the healthiest and best version of myself.

It’s the season to harvest all the lessons I’ve learned over the past few months in preparation for the winter solstice.

Onwards , Upwards and Inward
