“I stood there in shock realizing that I was about to meet one of the greatest athletes of all time, and be directly responsible for his ability to compete at the highest level. I would be his dedicated designer. In a strange way, this outcome was inevitable. Here I am, a young Black man from the Southside of Chicago, who desired to become Dr. Lucius Fox, in Gotham City meeting the real life Bruce Wayne.” Excerpt from my forthcoming book @thespeedofgrace These images represent the inspiration for the Jeter Vital. The first images are of @derekjeter reimagined by me as Batman in the iconic “Wings” pose. The second set of images are the final finished details of the graphic that made its way onto the shoe. I still believe that DJ is really Bruce Wayne.🦇🎩⚾️ #WeAreTrillicon #TheSpeedOfGrace
