L2 Collection started off as just another late-night quarantine thought in 2020. As a global pandemic struck and caused us to take a step back and realize our strengths and weaknesses, inspiration struck. As a young kid I always had dreams of designing my own shoe. I often thought about wearing my brand every day and how awesome it would be to see other people rocking different color combinations and outfits, all in my brand. Fast forward to 2021 the NCAA would change the game for athletes in every sport at the collegiate level. The ability to capitalize off your own name, image, and likeness, (NIL). Once this statement came out, I knew I had to take advantage of this huge opportunity and represent myself in a way that would allow me to breathe life into my dream, all in my likeness and image.
The summer of 2022 was filled with so many new pages in my book. From transitioning to college campus life, a new school, a new conference, new coaches, new teammates and taking trips across the world. This experience would provide an early glimpse of just how truly amazing basketball can be. Basketball is not only a game, it also comes with pursuing an education, learning life lessons and living on my own. I’m learning how valuable an individual can be as a commodity in the world of sports, business and life. Staying focused and setting goals will help me become a successful black entrepreneur in today’s world. Tons of phone calls discussing designs, materials, website execution, and various other key components all instrumental in turning a brand into something great. Welcome to my Brand L2smooth LLC.
