He was now making more than my parents combined.
Eventually, I got my own job.
But, no, I keep in contact with Evan.
We talk about life, we talk about art, and we talk about what it's like being a professional designer.
One day, I get laid off.
Evan hears about this and he calls me up.
He says, Mun, I know you don't know anything about footwear, but if you're willing to learn, I promise you we'll have so much fun.
I sent my stuff into N1 and they hire me.
Oh my God, let me tell you about this job.
Evan and I traveled all around the world.
We ate at the best restaurants.
We played video games all afternoon.
When the mixtape players came in, Evan would challenge them to basketball.
And in the middle of all that, I learned how to design footwear.
2014, Evan calls me up.
He says, Mun, you're never gonna believe what just happened.
Evan works for Nike in the Jordan division.
He says, Mun, I just got out of a meeting with Michael Jordan.
And he's telling me how much he loves the shoes I've designed for him.
