    gravy on top. Even if my work didn’t influence anyone, I’d still approach it the same way I do now. I try not to think so much about being tagged as an influencer because I actually have a fear that it’ll change my ways if I start thinking so much about how people will react to it. Each of you has a massive following among sneaker fans. Why do you have Ronnie Fieg that pull with potential consumers? DJCK: The fact that I really am a consum- er. I’m not a guy who works for a sneaker DJ Clark Kent company. I’m not a designer. I can think like a consumer. There’s about 8 percent of the population that’s really cool. The KicK rest are trying to figure it out. BG: It’s a mixture of things. I’ve been a sneaker historian, in some ways, and a voice for the community. But legitimately, I’m a ball player. That adds so much cred- ibility to when I’m saying things about basketball sneakers, because I’ve played. RF: The Internet plays a huge part in terms of recognition, but I built my credibility when I was with the David Z [stores in New York] and I feel like I’ve worked hard enough for people to trust my opinions. That’s the most important thing in any relationship — They’re the people who can make or break a shoe trust — except this relationship is between StarterS me and the consumer. It’s important for the brand.
