By now I'm sure you've seen the video of walking through an airport in New York. He's returning home presumably to get ready for his Adidas release and not-so-secret something taking place presentation during New York Fashion Week. As he's walking, a photographer is peppering him with questions. Are you...
I love this city, I hate it sometimes, too. In an effort to keep track of my feelings about the Big Apple during my time here I try my best to chronicle them in a letter to this crazy place. Welcome to Dear New York–a series posted...
