These Air Max 1’s are a tribute to my Chicago White Sox. My roots and humble beginnings come from the rough streets on the Southside of Chicago so it only made sense that I would roll with my southside heavy hitters “The Chicago White Sox”. So when I got the opportunity to create & design my custom Air Max 1’s it only made sense to come up with a design to honor my Chicago White Sox. My Air Max 1’s are definitely one of kind because they hold a lot of sentimental value to me and nobody else has a pair of these. For as long as I can remember I’ve been a loyal longtime fan of my Chicago White Sox. I must admit who doesn’t like their cool colors, uniforms, jerseys and hats it’s a staple in our City of Chicago. When you have big legends like Tupac, N.W.A, Ice Cube, Easy E. and Dr. Dre rocking the Chicago White Sox hat everywhere they go that’s a pretty big deal if you ask me!!! For me going to the ballpark as a kid into my adult years and fast forward years later taking my own kids to the White Sox games is always a great experience. Being able to enjoy numerous games with friends and family members along with a great ballpark hotdog and watching the fireworks at night when my White Sox win a game is a great feeling, that’s what baseball is all about at the end of the day to bring people together for the love of baseball for generations to come. From watching my all time favorite first baseman, hall of famer, world series champion and grand slam hitter Frank Thomas “The Big Hurt” rocking it out of the ballpark to watching players like Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, Ozzie Guillen, Carlton Fisk, Robin Ventura, Paul Konerko, A.J Pierzynski and Jim Thome just to name a few!! But let’s not forgot our greats like Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada & Jose Abreu . Which ever White Sox player was your favorite we all shared a common interest and that was to go to the ballpark, have a beer and a hotdog and watch a great baseball game in good company……………The Chicago White Sox have legendary history in my hometown, CHITOWN!!
