No More What If's! with Olu Adeleke | My First Kicks Podcast Ep. 254

This week I am joined by Olu Adeleke, we sat down to talk about his brand Prgrssn. How he decided to create his brand, how sneakers was the through-line and inspiration for the brand. Growing up in Chicago, how community has been a huge part of his growth. The moment he figured out he didn't want to be a doctor anymore. What moving to New York meant to him and much much more!
