I am an adult that still dreams like a young kid. I am 24 and I grew up in a city called Amadora, mostly known for its problems. As an aspiring Hip Hop artist, one of my biggest dreams is to let the world know that my city is much more than that, with a lot of hidden talents that just need some support and opportunities, just like the one I had, being able to make my own sneakers. One of my biggest challenges is not knowing how to cope with a string of bad moments, but I know that it's this struggle that will make my wins taste better in the end.  

I chose the Landscape model because it makes me feel young. This way, I can imortalize my memories, even when I get old, just by wearing them. I chose the colour yellow because it reminds me of hope. The sun is yellow, and even though it goes away for hours, it always comes back to live another day, letting us know that there's always a new chance to make it better. I combined it with black, to balance things: even when when we are in a dark place, there's hope, all we have to do is search for it. My goal is to let people know that they can always be whatever they wanna be, they just have to work for it and stay true to themselves
