Wonderland.
“I was playing outside one day and there was
a tricycle in the driveway. Me being a young,
hyper, curious kid, I jumped on it. I’m riding
around the driveway, and tried to lock up the
front wheel and the back of the tricycle span
around. My older cousin saw it happen, said it was
cool, and to do it again around some cones. I
started to do these drifts, and excitement
and joy rushed through me. I instantly fell in
love with bike riding. It was such an important,
special moment for me, especially looking back
at my life now that the bicycle has been such
a powerful tool throughout my life. So we decided
to use the story as inspiration for both of the
shoes.”
