At Magic I also Ran into Leroy Jenkins


I knew about LEroy Jenkins because of thier super fresh Hoodies they sell at the ladies sneaker shop LAces,,, When I saw thier booth at magic I learned that they have a full line and not just hoodies,, I really like thier style: Here they answered a few questions:
You are the designer for Leroy Jenkins correct?
upendo taylor and ron upperman are the designers for
leroy jenkins limited. (picured above)

Can you describe, your wicked hoodies in your own
words for us? in one word i can describe them as
OURS... any time you see the formula that we put
together to get our classic hoodies you think of us...
even if another biting clothing brands label's inside
of it.

You just make hoodies right? any plans to expand?we
do not just make hoodies... when we started we made
hoodies v-neck tees and bandanas... and this was 2
years ago... then we cam out with shorts and hats....
and now we have a full diverse line.

Do you collect kicks? not neccessarily... i buy what
i like... i rock all of my kicks until the soles fall
off....
How has sneaker culture influenced the clothes you
make?just a little bit... not much really though...
we'll sometimes release a hoodie that has the same
color ways as a new shoe... but thats very rare.

last of all what is your favorite all time sneaker?
the jordan 1's... it brought the most saught after
shoe to the fore front... NIKE DUNK...

Anything you would like to say to all the female
sneaker fiends out
there?? i know you want more womens products from
us... we will be releasing a better variety of stiff
really soon.. just sit tight.
