JM: I know baseball players have to wear suits when you travel on the road, who are some of your favorite designers for suits.
 
HK: I like Hugo Boss, they make some really nice suits and they fit really well so I kind if stick with what fits. Ted Baker recently did some custom suits for me as well.

HK: I agree.
 
JM: Is there a certain shoe designer dominating your shoe closet?
 
HK: I like Buscemi, I have quite a few pairs, I been wearing them since they first came out. I brought one of the first pairs, but I’m also a big Jordan person too, I love the ones [Retro Air Jordan 1] that’s probably my favorite Jordans.

JM: Yes, It sold out in the first week!
 
HK: Yeah it came out in four colorways and looks just like the shoes with the lock on the back.
 

JM: Do you have a stylist?

 
HK: No I actually do it myself; I know what I like so I stick with what I like.
 
JM: That’s really impressive as you seem very knowledgeable on not only the classic brands, but also the new cutting edge brands!
 
HK: I’m a student of the game; I’m also out there seeing what’s new and looking at different websites, etc.
