   Origin Story: Rene Valdiviezo!

   We're proud to introduce Rene Valdiviezo, the newest co-host joining Chris and Kelsey for Season 2! Rene is an entertainer based out of downtown Chicago. Born in Mexico but raised in Illinois, he grew up admiring the skills and footwear of Chicago's hero Michael Jordan. While Jordan's were not always in the budget, an amalgam of action figure footwear, Super hero footwear, and wrestler footwear always kept him yearning to own his own pair of elaborate loud shoes. A pair of his first air max and air command force Billy Hoyle's later, Rene now boasts an impressive 60+ shoe collection 10 years in the making. He prides himself as a "sneaker somm" always seeking to wear the best of the best and not the hype of the hype.
