CLASS Bookstore has become one of Houston's most important spaces for conversation, curiosity, and community. But long before the shelves were filled with books, there was a vision to create a place where knowledge could be shared, challenged, and celebrated.

For this episode of Thoughts For The Sole, I sit down with CLASS Bookstore founder David Landry for a conversation that moves far beyond books.

We explore the origins of CLASS, the intention behind its carefully curated collection, and why a bookstore can become just as influential to a city as a sneaker boutique, an art gallery, or a neighborhood barbershop. We discuss how literature, hip hop, sneakers, art, and community all shape one another, and why preserving culture begins with preserving stories.

David also shares some of the sneakers that have defined different chapters of his life, proving that the shoes we wear often carry memories just as powerful as the books we read. Along the way, he opens up about the books that have influenced his thinking, challenged his perspective, and helped shape the mission behind CLASS.

Twenty years ago, Sneaker Politics opened its first doors with a vision that was bigger than sneakers. Today, that vision has grown into a cultural institution built on community, relationships, and a commitment to always being on tour.

For this special episode of Thoughts For The Sole, I sit down with Sneaker Politics founder Derek Curry inside the new Houston location ahead of its official opening.

As Sneaker Politics celebrates 20 years, Derek reflects on the journey from a single store in Louisiana to a brand that has helped shape sneaker culture in the south and nationwide. We discuss the early days, the risks, the setbacks, the partnerships, and the lessons learned from building something that has stood the test of time.

More importantly, we talk about what 20 years of Sneaker Politics means now.

This is a conversation about vision, perseverance, community, leadership, and legacy.

Twenty years later, the mission is still the mission.

The return of the Houston Comets isn’t a moment, it’s a reminder. Back to back wasn’t luck. It was dominance. It was foundation. And being at the draft night experience at Kirby Ice House felt like standing at the beginning of something that’s already proven.

Houston isn’t trying to build history. It’s picking back up where it left off.

Then we step into Sneaker Con Houston. Seeing culture move in real time. Money being made, stories being told, identity being expressed through what’s on foot. I break down what I saw, what stood out, and what it says about where the culture is right now.

This week I’m sharing my experience at the 2025 Black Footwear Forum, presented by Pensole Lewis College. The weekend carried a theme that resonated deeply: own your power, define your future. Surrounded by brilliant Black creatives and leaders, I felt the weight and beauty of what it means to belong in a space built for us, by us. From conversations with artists and storytellers to insights from executives and innovators, every moment reinforced the truth that community is the foundation of progress. Dr. D’Wayne Edwards’ unwavering vision continues to shape this sacred ground, a sacred space where that message becomes lived truth, pushing us to learn, build, and carry the culture forward together.

I’m also sharing a powerful moment I had with the Adidas Cornerstone Community, a space created by 82. Purple and hosted by Lee Baron. The energy, the intention and the unity was all so amazing.

]]> Today we talkin’ Kicks!
 Short and sweet. Today we are talking about all of the happenings from September and October in the LXNG world. Worked on my first major campaign(Nike) and then another one! I’ve been tremendously blessed. And then we dive into one of my most memorable pick ups from this year and what I’m looking forward to the rest of the way. Some how I forgot to mention the Mocha Jumpman Jacks but they are on the list too! #pressplay
