Following the early '90s Bulls, we watched what Mike had on foot -- and we wanted it.In this episode, Kevin chops it up with Dre the Shoe god -- sneaker restorer, designer, and historian. Growing up on Chicago's east side, Dre's passion for shoes kept him out of the trouble and stirred his entrepreneurial vision.
