I also indicated that you could move to their corporate headquarters only if you were the CEO. The CEO at the time (I forget his name) wouldn't give up his job for you! They made a mistake.

They were some good designs. ITs like the orange "Bo Jackson's" we had as a kid. We modeled the designs around those. <br/><br/>C Lawson I also remember! They were some good designs.

When I was a small kid I wanted to be a priest then a paleotologist. Wow, wanting to be a shoe designer is one of the best kid dreams I’ve heard of.

And the slogan. Runs in our family, doesn't it? Neat, to the point, slogans. No gimmicks, just design, is great! MOM I love the new narrow ad for Griffio. And the slogan.

I think it is still in your file folder (Blake's stuff) which I think I gave to you already. I was shocked and awestruck. You did this all on your own. Pretty bold for a 12 year old. I think they should have given you a pair of shoes, also. MOM I remember the letter you got from Nike. I think it is still in your file folder (Blake’s stuff) which I think I gave to you already.

You would just sit there and draw and draw and draw. I also remember looking at the drawings and thinking, "Wow, those are so detailed. And small." I never knew you actually sent Nike your designs, though. That's pretty neat. It's too bad the company didn't at least send you a real pair of shoes for free or something. At least they could've done that. Or they could've arranged for you to visit the place. I remember when you used to design shoes. You would just sit there and draw and draw and draw.
