我們知道你私下也是一個球鞋迷，能跟我們講講你與 Jordan Brand 是怎麼結緣的嗎？
因為從小就很喜歡看 NBA，經常會關注到球星們腳上的戰靴，Michael Jordan 也是我小時候的偶像。不過小時候經濟有限，可能一個學期只能買一雙兩雙 Air Jordan。唯一讓我覺得可惜的是，那時候球鞋都是用來打球，沒有好好保護，以至於後來一些好看的球鞋都無法收藏下來。
I know you are privately a fan of sneakers , can you share with us what is your ties with the Jordan brand ?
From young , I loved watching the NBA, I would often observe what basketball stars wear. Michael Jordan has been my idol since I was young. But at that time , I had financial limitation and therefore could only buy one or 2 pairs during one school season. The only pity is , when I was young, my sneakers were used to play basketball. Therefore , I did not preserve them properly. Even those that looked really nice , I was unable to keep them as a collection.
你最開始是怎麼接觸到 KAWS 作品的，以及提起 KAWS 你首先會想到什麼？
最先肯定會想起他的「XX」Logo，我最開始知道 KAWS 其實是因為他和一些牌子聯名出的滑板，因為小時候也愛玩滑板，從那個時候開始接觸到他的設計。後來他也有了自己的品牌 OriginalFake，雖然在幾年前結束了，以及到和 UNIQLO 的合作系列，他一直有在做新的嘗試，讓自己的藝術創作變得更加多元化，這對我來說也具有一定的啓發性。
What was your connection with KAWS brand from the start. When we mention KAWs what would go past your mind ?
Firstly , it would definitely be it's xx logo. The first time knowing KAWS is because of their collaboration with skateboards. From young , I love skateboarding so I stumbled upon them. Later , they also had their own brand OriginalFake, although it's now defunct. Until much later , they worked with Uniqlo. They keep having new attempts to diversify their designs. To me this is definitely something enlightening.
那你如何看待 Jordan Brand 這次與 KAWS 的聯名系列？
不同領域的合作總能激發出具有時代意義的新火花，對於 Jordan 和 KAWS 的粉絲來說也是一個好消息，能有同時擁有運動和藝術兩個領域的標誌性品牌。
Therefore, what are your thoughts of the Jordan Brand's collaboration with KAWS ?
Cooperation in different areas can always stimulate a new spark of significance of times. Simultaneously to be able to have two iconic brands representing two separate realms of sports and art is a good news for Jordan and KAWS fans.
這次的合作款 Air Jordan 4 最吸引你的細節是什麼？
除了「XX」Logo 外，夜光鞋底讓我感到驚喜，鞋面和外底上還有 KAWS 代表性的「卡通手」圖案細節，此外整雙球鞋的材質和質感都非常上乘。
This time, what is most attractive to you in KAWS' collaboration with Air Jordan 4?
In addition to the "XX" Logo, the luminous soles make me feel pleasantly surprised. The surface and the outer soles has the cartoon hands that are a representation of Kaws. In addition , the entire material and texture are first class.
你覺得你會怎麽搭配這雙球鞋？
這一次 KAWS 和 Jordan 選擇的灰色非常百搭，無論是短褲、牛仔褲或者是黑色長褲，我想怎麼穿都好看，而且還很適合在晚上出門穿，因為有這個夜光鞋底。
What would you wear to match this pair of shoes?
This time KAWS and Jordan chose the colour gray. It can match with everything. whether you wear it with shorts, jeans or black trousers, It looks good. Also it's suitable for night wear because of its luminous shoes bottom.
你最喜歡的 Air Jordan 是哪雙？為什麽？
Air Jordan 12，因為小時候很難買到，我至今也只有一雙，平時都捨不得穿。另外 Air Jordan 6 和 Air Jordan 11 也都是我喜歡和收集比較多的鞋型。
What is your favorite Air Jordan? why?
Air Jordan 12, because it is difficult for a child to buy, I still only have a pair, usually , I'm reluctant to wear it. In addition Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 11 are also the ones I like and would keep as collection.
如果有機會親自設計一雙球鞋，你會怎麽做？
這是一個很難的問題，我覺得配色應該不會是重點，會比較注重於材質和細節。Drake 設計的 OVO x Air Jordan 12 就是一個成功的例子，不管是白色還是黑色，都相當帥，雖然現在是 Jordan x KAWS 的發佈。（笑）
If you have the opportunity to personally design a pair of shoes, how would you approach it ?
This is a very difficult problem, I think the color should not be the focus, I will emphasize more on the material and details. The Drake designed OVO x Air Jordan 12 is a successful example, whether it is white or black, it looks good. Although we should focus now on the Jordan x KAWS release. (laugh)
最近在忙什麽，有什麽新動作可以和我們分享一下？
我前不久參加了一個節目，這個現在還不能透露太多，反正大概就是去某個地方流浪了一個月，然後我還蠻享受的。希望大家可以期待一下播出！
What are you busy with recently? Any new work you can share with us?
I recently participated in a program, i can not reveal too much now. It Is bout me being a wanderer for a month . I really enjoyed it . I hope you can look forward to it's broadcast!
未來在時尚或是街頭領域，還會想要有什麽嘗試嗎？
我其實從去年開始有在計劃要推出自己的品牌，可能在今年中就會和大家見面，但目前還沒有多麼轟轟烈烈的打算，主要就是和大家分享一些我個人的想法吧。
The future in the fashion area, do you also want to give it a try?
I actually started plan to launch my own brand from last year . Maybe in this year , you will be able to see it but I do not plan this in a grand scale, the main thing is to share some of my personal thoughts with you.
Footnote : A Bolin Brand !! Oh my ! I'm really looking forward ! Really proud of you !
