Today we’d like to introduce you to Aaron Miles.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I was introduced to the idea of designing my own clothing one day while shopping in an A&P Supermarket with my mother. She was shopping for groceries and then spotted a rack with no name brand sneakers. She grabbed a couple pairs for my brother and I for school. I complained and told her kids would make fun of me if I wore them. She asked what sneakers would I like. I told her the brand that I wanted and her response after asking me did I know the price of what I was asking for was, if I wanted to wear clothing with a brand name on them, make them myself and put my own name on it. That was the beginning. How I got to where I am today is the result of genius level creativity paired with a naive level of trust and novice level business knowledge.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Smooth road? Not in the least. Some of the struggles along the way was attracting the attention of greedy business sharks, being exploited and finally having my company, brand, and trademark stolen from me

Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?

Giving me a McDonald’s bag filled with $50000 one day. Patrick Ying my first major partner. Steve Tankleff, my first collaborator and running mate.
