Sneakerhead Spotlight: “DJ Tay” aka @taylordeuce

See this content in the original post

Question 1: What’s in your current sneaker rotation?

Taylor: It’s so hard to say what’s in my current rotation because I try to wear as much as possible in the short time that I have. However, during the week I can only wear black shoes to work, so it becomes a rotation of SACAI Waffle Black Nylon, Yeezy 350 Black Static, Yeezy 700 Vantas, Chrome 6s, and Nike Prestos and Vapormax Triple Black. But on the weekend it could be literally anything. I try not to limit myself. 

 

Question 2: What's the last pair you UNDS'd?

Taylor: UNDEFEATED Air Max 90 Blue since they gave me the W on the Media Day LeBron’s 😅

Question 3: What is your fave sneaker you currently own?

Taylor: This is such a hard question lol. I tend to link a story to my favorite kicks so for now I will say 2011 True Blue 3s and 2013 Taxi 12s in honor of my pops. 

Question 4: What is your must-have grail?

Taylor: Chicago 1s, White Cement 3s, and Cool Grey 11s. I’m not paying resell though lol. Jordan Brand will come through for me eventually.

Question 5: What got you started in the sneaker game?

Taylor: My dad is definitely the one who got me started in the shoe game. He was an old head who taught me to stock shoes for years and pull them out the vault when everyone else either trashed their shoes or you just didn’t see the shoe around anymore. We used to go stand in lines together when my mom said I was old enough to cop shoes on release day. He was a size 14 so we were literally out there at the crack of dawn to be the first people in line. The REAL bigfoots know what I’m talking about 😂. He really taught me the ropes and eventually once I got my own money, I took off surpassing him tremendously. RIP big fella 🙏🏾👼🏿

 

Question 6: What's something that most people don't know about you?

Taylor: I lowkey DJ. I picked up the passion in college because I wanted to have a good time while also creating a good vibe and space for others to come party. Hence, DJ Tay was born. 

Question 7 (optional): What do you do for a living?

Taylor: I’m a healthcare worker in the outpatient pavilion of a hospital. 

Question 8: where can people follow you on social media? YT, Snapchat, IG etc
