"What's up, y'all? This is Leon here. I'm a painter based in Brooklyn, New York. Nike just dropped off these shoes for me. Let's see what we got inside."

"Sick design on the box, all-around sick, Nike ACRONYM®."

"Check these out. We got the ACRONYM® Blazers. I love Blazers. I used to skate in Blazers. We got some interchangeable components in the back. You use the military tag to screw off the screws..."

"...to change the back component. Alright, let's try these on. The first thing that caught my eyes about the shoes are obviously the back heel component."

"I can't wait to mess around and change the back heel, or even just take it off and wear it more minimal. I like these little flaps too. It reminds me of construction sites when they have the tarps on the sites..."

"...cut out so that the wind can blow. Oh, look, they sent some gear too. I might just have to throw this on right now. I know Errolson be doing a lot of functional techwear that has purposes, which I love."

"You wear it. You don't even gotta carry it. Alright, let's check out these pants. Flare option going on at the bottom, which I love. Super comfy fit."

"Being an Asian in the creative industry can be tough. So I love to see other Asians coming up and just inspiring others to do better also..."

"...and me being an immigrant, my parents worked so hard and sacrificed so much for me to get to where I am now."

"Yeah, it just inspires me to go even harder. This is Leon. Thank you for tuning on this episode of The Drop-Off. Keep an eye out on the Nike Blazer Low ACRONYM® on the SNKRS App. Peace."
