Rekx Promos: I believe you are the first recognized footwear designer who does extreme stuff like this in Africa?
J'Re My(Ceo ObjClothing): You are right buddy.
Rekx Promos: So how did it all start?
J'Re My(Ceo ObjClothing): Oh, you know, design and art has become part of me for a long while now. So its like a talent that I developed and nurtured to how far it is now.
Rekx Promos: Good to know, now to a pertinent question. Did you design that Sarkodie Shoe?
J' Re My(Ceo ObjClothing): Yes I did design it, myself, like I said; design and art has been part of me, footwear design actually caught my attention since I was in Primary 4.
Rekx Promos: What prompted you to design the SARK 1.
J'Re My(Ceo ObjClothing): Well, coming from a city where you actually need to look out for opportunities and grab them, I realized a Sarkodie shoe would not be a bad idea.Besides the peak with which he is now, this is his time for such an idea to materialize, when there is delay and time elapses too much there would be difficulty in selling the shoe.
Rekx Promos: Nice. But I heard some amateur journalist saying you copied Chuck Tailors.
J'Re My(Ceo ObjClothing): Oh you did hear? You would always have such characters around you. When you do, you should know its because you are on track. Because for a fact when you look at the sample we made, which is lieing in my house right now, waitin for our next meeting with Sarkodie and management, there is nothing chuck tailor about it.The unfortunate thing is that you often wonder why such hatefull comments come from a fellow Ghanaian who is even suposed to support such a course.
Rekx Promos: So during your first meeting what was sarkodie's impression? Did he love the idea?
J'Re My(Ceo ObjClothing): Oh yeah he did, he was like at first he thought somone wanted to make money of him, so he showed it to his lawyer.But then again, he said he said to himself that the guy behind this is a foreseeing guy.The person has foresight because this is the time for this sneaker. So I was with my manager then at the meeting, his name is David, Sammy Forson was there and other two guys in the management team. Yeah so Obidi 'craze' for the idea; the design and all.
Rekx Promos: Okay so why is the shoe not out if you guys have finished with the sample?
J'Re My(Ceo ObjClothing): Well I would love you to ask certain people and Sarkodie himself this question, we are waiting for our next meeting with them. Then we would see the way forward.
Rekx Promos:So where did you get the sample done? China?
Rekx Promos: Thank you for your time Boss; and yah; when is your clothing line restarting up full swing?
J'Re My(Ceo ObjClothing): Next month,our line is ready, we would play on certain icons in Ghana and move on to African themes.You will see.
J'Re My(Ceo ObjClothing): You are right buddy.
