ISSA MOVIE!! Welcome to Elmhurst, Queens. One of the most culturally diverse places in NY. It was the 80's and young Steve Patiño was jumping rooftops, climbing fire escapes, with the soundtrack of Thriller, break beats of Hip Hop, bright colors of the graffiti painted trains, and the Mets win the World Series. Life was good, but the struggle was very real. Steve comes from a family line of merchants and learned the game at an early age from the best to ever do it; his Mama. Growing up in Queens was all about style and fashion, and with that comes power. From the Polo Head Lo-life crews to the Air Max drops, Steve did everything he could to support his fashion. But it wasn't until he turned a neighborhood shoe store into one of the hottest sneaker spots in all of NY, that "Sneaker" Steve was born. It was this moment that set Steve on his path to becoming one of the most groundbreaking and influential people in fashion history. However, as we know, the journey to the top brings many falls. But what's crazy with Steve is that, he chose to fall. Sometimes we need to take two steps back to move ten steps forward, but we often are too scared to lose financial security, social status, and give up material items, while holding on tight to our egos. However, courage is defined as the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. Steve's story is one of courage, perseverance, greatness, and above all, being a fashion Don Dada. From Queens to Hollywood, this is "Sneaker" Steve. #MamaWeMadeIt
