Our Story

GOD x SNKRS (God and Sneakers) is a brand born out of our love for both God and Sneakers! 

As a child I was drug to church; most times I didn't want to be there, but I'm thankful for a praying Mother and Grandmothers who made it a point to "train up a child in the way that he should go..." Because of their love and dedication to God I developed my own relationship with God; one that I wouldn't trade for the world. It is an ever growing and evolving relationship and I LOVE and trust Him to lead me in every aspect of my life.

Coming up as young man in an urban community you had to have on some fresh sneakers or you would be the joke of the day. Fortunately for me, my parents sacrificed enough to make sure I went to school as fresh as I could be for their budget. I didn't have all the most expensive sneakers, but they were always decent and I tried to keep them as clean as I could to avoid being the joke of the day. In 3rd grade I got my first pair of Jordans, the Black Cement 3s. You could not tell me I wasn't the man when I went back to school that following Monday. I remember going to the mall in the 6th grade and going into Footlocker and the new Hare Jordans (Jordan 7 Bugs Bunny) had just released. I wanted them soooo bad, but my Mother said "I'm not paying over $100 for a pair of shoes." I was crushed. As a result I admired the other kids at school that had the latest Jordans and thinking one day I'm going to have all the coolest shoes. Not long after that, I saw my big cousin had a pair of all red Flight '89s. I thought to myself "these are the dopest shoes ever," but then she always had the freshest Js and sneakers. I was already in love with sneakers but seeing her collection solidified that love for me and my other cousin, her little brother.

Fast forward to today...I traditionally wore a suit, tie and dress shoes to Sunday service, and still do on occasion but when COVID hit, my Pastor was given the vision to start having outdoor service when it was mandated that indoor services would not be allowed. God blessed us throughout the pandemic with good weather during our service time, so that for 2 years we did not have to cancel service one time. On the Sundays when it rained, it either rained before service or just as service was wrapping up. During this period of time, I got accustomed to wearing shorts and tees with sneakers during the warm months or jeans/sweats and hoodies with sneakers during the cooler months. As we have transitioned back to indoor service, I've continued to wear tees and sneakers, and I have also noticed that many of the younger churches and congregations have made sneakers and tees their standard Sunday attire. This shift in church culture as well as the booming trend in sneaker culture made me think, why not create a brand for the Sneakerhead who loves God? This is how GOD x SNKRS came to be.

Over the course of our 9-year marriage and 12 years together, I have turned my Wife into a sneakerhead as well. Being that we both love God more than anything, creating this Brand only made sense. GOD x SNKRS is not just our brand (my Wife and I) but it's OUR brand...YOU, me and WE! If you are a Sneakerhead and lover of God, then this is the Brand for you!  A brand created for us by us!
