(1/3) "Yo, what's good y'all? It's Joey Cook Crack aka Don Cartagena aka Uptown BX Platano, and I'm here to tell y'all about how I got my own Terror Squad Air Force 1's.

So, I'm a sneakerhead, you feel me? I'ma sneakerheads sneakerhead. Ain't nobody got anything on me. I love kicks, but the thing is, I could never find a pair that fit my mood. I'm talkin' about, I tried everything, and nothing really spoke to me. Nothing said 'Joey, these is YOU.'

But one day, I had an idea. I thought to myself, "Why not create a shoe that can change its design to match my mood?" So, I hit up my homies at Nike and pitched the idea.

They were feelin' it and gave me a team of designers and engineers to work with...I got so many designers that work for Nike that Nike don't even know about. We put in work, feel me? We went through different prototypes and adjustments until finally, we came up with the perfect design.

So we dropped the "Terror Squad Mood AF1s", a shoe that can change its design on command, depending on the my mood. I'm talking about, one minute you could be rockin' a sleek black and white shoe, and the next, you could switch it up to a bright and colorful one. It's like havin' a whole closet of sneakers in one shoe.

When these kicks dropped and they were a banger, you feel me? People who can't make up their mind finally had a shoe that matched their mood. I became the official spokesperson for the line, even got a commercial with Nike, where I was changin' the design of my shoes left and right.

From then on, I was known as the King of Mood Sneakers and my Terror Squad Air Force 1s were highly sought after by sneakerheads all over the world. And that's the real deal, word to the Bronx. All the way up."
