#createwithadidas

I find myself either discussing the impact of fashion OR the impact of running, but rarely get a chance to talk about the synergy of these two worlds. I sat down with Complex to discuss my two passions and how they help me maintain a sense of balance. Pull from every subculture that inspires you and dare to be multifaceted.

Thank you to my brother @StevenOthello for always believing in me. And speaking me getting my very own sneaker into existence a year ago. When he first said “you’re going to get your own sneaker” I was like “word?”, then I began to believe and say it as well “I want to get my own sneaker” it became a goal. Steve’s thoughts became reality and the AM4 Kwasi Kessie was born. Thank you my brother for having a vision so great for me that sometimes I can’t see. And for co-designing and marketing our very own shoe. Our younger selves would be so proud of us. We have come a long way from Manhattan Center High School, LIU, & Laced Magazine, to now co-designing our very own shoe. Love you bro cant wait to make your next visions come true for us both. World get ready! It’s possible and Steve-O makes sure of it. 📸 @rams_kay #AM4KwasiKessie #SPEEDFACTORY #createwithadidas #adidasRunnersNYC (at Flight Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br_jpXPnZQ8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3gpht4l4a7pu

To the children, from Harlem and those all the way across the globe in Ghana, it’s possible. I’m not a superstar athlete, I’m not a rapper, I am a kid from Harlem that grew up with a love for sneakers and a passion for fashion that transformed his dream into reality. The AM4 Kwasi Kessie, believe me It’s all possible. 📸 @therealsasua_pm #AM4KwasiKessie #SPEEDFACTORY #createwithadidas #adidasRunnersNYC (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br6fwFFnAJP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mv0cpvrmebtb

Growing up in Harlem New York, naturally led to turning me into a sneaker connoisseur. For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to stand out. I wanted my sneaker to incorporate different accents that represent my life and the things that have shaped it. This sneaker meets at the crossroad of Fashion Avenue and running the nyc streets; from styling some of the biggest artist of our time to running consecutive NYC marathons, fashion and running are two staples that have positively changed my life. 📸 @tombender Available: 12/13 @sneakersnstuff_nyc 12/14 adidas 5th ave store, 610 Broadway store, & adidas.com #SPEEDFACTORY #AM4KwasiKessie #createwithadidas #adidasRunnersNYC (at Harlem) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrOS_ZtHKJP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ewkexqbj9fti
