BALLER STATUS
We always look forward to our seasonal exhibitions, which go down prior to the release of every Spring, Summer and Autumn/Winter collection. Not only are they the first real live looks we get at the KIKS TYO collections as a whole, but friends and family from across Japan and around the globe come through to preview and critique what we’ve been working on, kick stories about what they’ve been up to or just lounge with the crew. This time around was no different.
Our man Darin Maki stopped by today, fresh off the plane from Paris, where he was invited to rep Japan and play at the Jordan brand sponsored, international street-ball tournament, QUAI 54.
D brought back stories that ranged from QUAI54 player exclusive Jordans and Fat Joe, to the Louvre Museum and riding busses through Paris with Basketball royalty. He said a few heads were hawking his gear out there too…
For anyone considering playing pro ball in Japan, or to peep the day-to-day of a baller in Japan, check Darin on his Twitter. For heads in Japan that are fiending for true basketball, prepare to check him on the court doing big thing this coming October in Japan’s Pro BJ League. Ballin outta control…
