Is there a signature shoe coming with Jordan Brand in the future?
We will see! I think it’s really hard with LIV and Nike right now, and I hope we can break through on it, but it’s very much about what MJ wants – and I respect whatever he wants to do. That’s why it’s way bigger than the shoe.
Kevin Durant, LeBron, all that: Nike and Jordan empower athletes to go and create their own stories with their shoes. Which I think is the best. I’ve always told people, ‘Man, everyone loves a shoe.’ And I do have stories – you almost create your own stories with a shoe. They built these shoes off of stories and journeys of other people, but when you get the shoe, you get to tell a story why it’s important. And I don’t think people have enough time to talk about it. They just see the shoe. ‘Oh, it looks good,’ or, ‘I don’t like this or that.’ But there’s way more to it sometimes, when you get that shoe. It shouldn’t have that much value, but I got married in the shoes that have a lot of value, you know what I mean? Stuff like that, you don’t really think about.
So, we’ll see on my side. I don’t know. That’s a great question. I would love the opportunity, but I think we just have a little way to go.
Do you give Jordan Brand feedback on their golf releases?
Oh, yeah – they want you to give that feedback. Oh, it’s nuts. You call, you’re like, ‘Hey, I don’t like this. I like that.’ That’s how they became great. And I’ve really enjoyed going out there [to Beaverton] once a year. You just do all kinds of crazy stuff, they show you around, it’s so cool. You literally walk in there and they measure everything and you’d be like, ‘I like this or like that.’ ‘What colours do you want?’ Just empowering athletes, which I didn’t understand.
The experiences that I’ve had… I got to meet Howard White, which was awesome. Things like that that I just really cherish. MJ’s relationship. For me, it’s more than a shoe, but I’ve been super fortunate to be able to ask MJ questions and spend time with him, and just get knowledge that is important for, I think, my life, moreso than the shoe.
Have you golfed with MJ?
Yes, a few times. Yeah, he’s the best. He’s been great for my life, coming to LIV, making big decisions. He holds you to a high standard, and wants you to respect yourself, be a business person, and think high.
