I’m mad I’m not out in LA right now for this collab, so legendary.
I know, and we were supposed to have a big party too but Covid is trash. But it’s cool, I shot the video yesterday so I got to see Bobby, Ben, Nick Diamond, the whole squad. Then Anwar pulled up and a couple of other folks, too, so that was dope.

How does it feel to bridge the gap between these two brands and bring them back together after a really long time? You’re reviving a golden era in Fairfax history and pulling a lot of nostalgic streetwear heartstrings.
Man, it’s honestly really crazy to me because I really started from the ground up, you know what I mean? Started as an intern, did my duties there. I started in the office at Diamond, just being a kid that was around and helping ship stuff. And then after I got off at the office, I would go down to the store and just hang out there. And then next thing you know, I’m in the store being an intern, helping out those guys, pulling orders for customers on the floor. And then, fast forward a couple of years later, I’m working at the store. And then fast forward to now, I’m collabing with these two brands that raised me, in a sense.

I don’t think that Circulate would even exist if it wasn’t for The Hundreds and Diamond. When I was younger, The Hundreds was the blueprint for me. I lived in Sacramento for a short while and Bobby was able to make me want to visit Fairfax so bad, just from all of his pictures and the blog and things like that. And I carried that on to my brand with the way that I conduct my business and experience the lifestyle, from being part of a shop and shop etiquette to just learning all the things that I learned from the office at Diamond, like how to ship packages and fulfill orders and just run an online business. I carried all of that on to Circulate. So it’s, it’s pretty surreal that these guys who pretty much raised me and taught me how to run a brand are now giving me the chance to work with them at this level is insane. And to see these guys collaborate for the first time in like over 10 years or something, and they did it for me, it means so much. So this is probably the most important project I’ve worked on thus far and I’m doing things like a Super Bowl collab and things like that. But this one means way more to me.

It’s all just so crazy to me, man. When I got the samples the other day, that was an insane feeling, dude. I was like, “What the hell? It’s finally real.” I’ve been working on this for the past six months or so but just seeing it finally come to life was the most insane feeling and it just reinforced to me that you can do whatever. Like you can really make your dreams come true. And sometimes it takes a little bit longer but if you just put in the work and stick to it and just keep believing, it’ll come to fruition. I just want people to look at me and see a true testament to hard work.
