Taking place at Alumni located in Brooklyn, Joey sheds light on his introduction into the sneaker industry coming from his mother. Throughout the conversation he also touches upon the topic of politics being involved in the business in addition to the chance of his own sneaker collaboration alongside adidas, who he happens to be pretty familiar with.
