Can we start off with a brief introduction for your self? Name? age? You know…
Alright well my name is Korey Salter I’m 18 years old I’m a person who likes to have fun with my friends a real chill type of person who takes minor risks in life umm im really in to sneakers but I wouldn’t call myself a sneakerhead more of a sneaker connoisseur lol.
Alright, What is 7even wolves exactly to you?
Uhh what is 7even wolves well first I would like to set the record straight that we’re not a gang of any sort and I wouldn’t able any one of us 1st wolf, 2nd wolf, 3rd wolf and so on…but 7even Wolves is a brand a premature company if you will, ya know it’s a group of friends who came together to make a brand because we wanted to wear clothes that are fresh and is exactly what WE like.
I know 7even wolves motto is: Go Crazy. Eat French Fries. Get Money. How does it reflect your life and what does it mean to you?
Go crazy. Eat French Fries. Get money lol it says it all don’t you think I mean that’s just us having fun ya know we gon do whatever the fuck we want, go hard all that good shit I’M GUESSING WE GON EAT FRENCH FRIES WHILE WE DOING IT, and on top of that we gon GET MONEY doing our own thing
you guys say that each 7even wolves has their own distinct style, how would you describe your own personal style?
Well first off let me name my favorite clothing brands which are 10 deep, obey, nike, stussy I just recently this year started wearing diamond supply I copped some Neff and The Hundreds and these are brands that I respect and really define my style now every now and then I may pull out a nice Ralph Lauren Polo but other than that youll catch me in some of the brands from above
Also you guys said that each 7even wolves has a certain talent. What’s your talent? And how does that contribute to 7even wolves?
I think a talent that I possess is having the ability to envision things in a creative way and taking the picture that I’ve painted in my head and being able to successfully create that vision in reality like directing something…and this contributes to the company because we shoot a lot of videos and it helps to have someone who can get everybody’s creative juices flowing
what is that one thing you always got to have with you?
One thing I always have to have on me is some chapstick lol
So there is seven of you guys, how do yall each contribute your ideas. What roles did you take on with designing the logo and what you have so far with the brand?
As far as ideas go for the we usually work like a democracy, everyone voice is heard by voting as for the logo it was kind of a unanimous decision to go to the homie Jordie Walter for the design because we saw his on a couple of album covers for a close friend
As an upcoming new streetwear brand, how do you believe 7even wolves differ from other competitions, like crooks and 10 deep, those that have been in the game for a while?
7even Wolves is all new totally OG ideas coming from each one of us, I feel like it’ll be a breath of fresh in the clothing industry especially to young people because we’re young ourselves also I think we’re like the only urban/ street wear brand that’s coming from the south ya know a lot of other brands originated in places like new york or Cali but 7even Wolves we trying to put people on the map, and stay on those other brands ass and hopefully one day surpass them.
What kind of direction do you want 7even wolves to get into? Where do you see 7even wolves within 5 years, 10 years?
In 5 to 10 years I see 7even Wolves being exactly what we imagined it to be if not more, a top street wear brand that’s bringing us six figures lol ya know we want people out there copping 7W shit because they that to be they first day of school fit they trying to be on some best dressed shit lol…and even then I see myself rocking our shit everyday
Who is your biggest inspiration and how does their work inspire you?
There isn’t anyone in particular that inspires me but what does inspire me is people who do them and don’t give a fuck what people have to say about them , and also if you out here doing your own thing making your money and taking care of priorities then you inspire me too.
So If 7even wolves were to do a collabo with any artist in the future, who would be your first pick?
An artist or a clothing brand…I would like to see a 7even Wolves x diamond supply collabo and 7even Wolves x Earl SweatShirt collabo…free that nigga by the way lol
Last but not least, what can we expect from 7even wolves on terms of fashion, photography and blogs etc.?
What can you expect from 7W uhhh EVERYTHING and when we give you EVERYTHING expect MORE
