We are at sunny Paris for Quai 54 2022. 
Today we are going to be speaking to the next ups, basketball players, creatives, who are revolutionizing the game of basketball off the court.

Over the years of coming to Quai 54, how was influence changed over the years in the city? 
A lot of people who know French basketball culture, it is via Quai 54.

I have seen a lot more opportunities for females within the game, so to see Quai 54 actually have a female tournament there as well, I know that London got to represent, it is just amazing to be able to see

how things are shifting in that way as well.

We have got some our SNKRS community members here, they have been courtside, we have been looking for who has got the juiciest crap on their feet. 
We got the results, 58% of you have gone for the "Lightning Force", congratulations!
Thank you!

I believe basketball is about expressing yourself. When the players arrive it is like a new version of fashion runway.

One of the things that I think stands out when it comes to Quai 54, if you compare it to other entities, is that we are very rooted in Africa.

The combination of that DNA, of that French sense of design and classic American icon is quite a unique mix.

High fashion in times of streetwear but you know performance: is it important to you to see people showing their heritage in performance clothing?
The pattern on the shirt: my mom has got something like that. It takes me back to something.

If you look around, people can I get a little wave? Hello SNKRS app, we are live.

How does it feel to have not only your own shoe but a collaboration with Quai54 as well?
The opportunity to have your own shoe is a dream come true.

I think every kid, and me as a kid, I dreamt about having my own shoe, and this dream came true not long ago.

Shoes guarantee to make you run faster.
Would you say that your shoe will help with the step-back?
Guarantee to jump higher.

How do you pick yourself after disappointment, after things do not go as you expect?
I know my team has confidence in me, and I have confidence in me, so just go from there.
