Jaeki Cho | Flight Club: Friends & Family

For more than a decade, Jaeki Cho has helped tell the stories behind food and sneaker culture. As a former hip-hop journalist and current content creator, he uplifts people, places and moments that shape the way we eat, think and live in this world. On the latest Friends & Family, Jaeki takes us back to the streets that shaped his perspective. He reminisces about Fordham Road, which he calls the birthplace of modern sneaker culture, and original Flight Club location where he once spent hours window shopping before he could afford a pair. Along the way, he reflects on growing up wanting the OG Nike Shox, the lessons his family taught him about sacrifice and why the people have always driven sneaker culture—not the companies. From New York's sneaker roots to the stories that continue to inspire his work today, Jaeki shares a thoughtful conversation about history, community and the moments that remind us why sneakers matter in the first place.
