Chicharrón Force One's with The Kid Mero | My First Kicks Podcast Ep. 200

This week, I'm thrilled to be joined by The Kid Mero as we dive into his incredible journey with kicks! From growing up in the Heights and the Bronx to hustling in retail before launching Victory Light, sneakers and style have always been at the forefront of his life. We chat about the rarity of rocking the Air More Get Money Uptempo and his exciting collaboration with Timberland to release some epic timbs. Plus, there's so much more to uncover!
