I was an absolute perfectionist about the technology that went into my signature sneakers. I cared about every little detail. I cared about the weight, the weight distribution, the materials, the cut, the traction, the durability. I was meticulous about every curve, contour, and stitch. I didn’t want any loose ends. I didn’t want my foot sliding in the shoe. I didn’t want anything that could take my focus, even for an instant, off the game. My sneakers didn’t just have to be comfortable, they had to help me perform better.
