I had the privilege of meeting NBA superstar Kobe Bryant in person last Wednesday. Nike invited me to do a shoe for him to commemorate the Singapore leg of his 2009 Asian Tour. Meeting up with him at the Nike Wisma store was definitely an overwhelming experience for me and everyone else who came out to see him. What an honor to have met a true NBA champion up close and personal.
What is Gold Rush? It is an automotive lifestyle event…a group of people who love cars and the lifestyle get together for a Rally. This year, we started in San Francisco and drove to Los Angeles, then on to Vegas.
Exotic cars, muscle cars, whatever…we didn’t care. We care more about the people, the parties and the lavish hotel resorts at which we stay rather than breaking the sound barrier. Oh, don’t get us wrong…we stretched our cars’ legs a bit, but it’s all in good fun.
You know how it is when someone says, “Man, I love your work” ?
Well, Knick Jimenez LOVES our work. And he’s declared it all over
his Cadillac …………
Knick’s our hombre at Luxury4Play.com the premier luxury car forum.
He’s also a sneakerhead and SBTG’S biggest supporter.
When he told us he’d been thinking bout doing up one of his rides to
match his Royalfam Friends and Family Nike SBs, our response was like
“No way he’s crazy enough to pull that off.”
Fast forward a few weeks and he mails us these pictures.
So not only has he come up with the dopest tribute to SBTG Custom Kicks
ever, he drove it in the goldRush rally, a 4 day 3 night tour through San Francisco,
Los Angeles and Las Vegas that’s become one of the social and lifestyle events
in 2009.
Madness.
We salute you Knick.
