We all have a dream. Or we had at least. A passion, a desire, an honest voice in our head that advises choices to make. But then we have to face reality. Pressures, fears, anger and stress of daily life add up and make us lack in pursuing our dreams.
Here, Sean Wotherspoon represents what most of streetwear fanatics have never managed to become.
He is the dreamer, the real revolutionary.
Passion and dedication are his only two inspiring muses that allow him to carry on on his projects. It all starts in 2013, with the foundation of the now famous Round Two in Richmond, Virginia. Sean, Chris and Luke jointly open a store entirely dedicated to vintage sportswear: they buy and sell items from all eras and their fame spreads through customers talks. In fact, the second store in Los Angeles boasts among its clients some of the most influential celebrities on the global panorama: from Lil’ Yatchy to Travis Scott, from Ian Connor to Ariana Grande. They made everything happen keeping in mind the main goal of the store, "looking good at an affordable price”.
The success of the store and the relentless Sean’s passion for vintage lead to a close relationship with Nike which enters him in the list of the Revolutionairs. This gives him the chance to take part together with other artists, designers and DJs in the Vote Forward contest in 2016. The goal of the contest is to bring together the most influential creatives on the scene to reimagine the new Air Max.
The sneaker designed by Sean Wotherspoon receives appreciation from the world of streetwear and art lovers. Yes, I said art, because Sean Wotherspoon's project didn’t raise up from scheduled researches, but rather from years of admiration and love towards what he has observed. Bright colors, corduroy and the peculiar combination of the sole of an AM1 with the upper of the AM97 make it a must have even before the official release, which took place during the Air Max Day 2018.
Sean Wotherspoon’s art becomes unmistakable to everyone. It detaches from standards. Sensations, experiences and scattered frames of the collective imagination become the real protagonists of the scene and together give life to the Air Max 97/1 SW.
