Bridges.

Deanda and I sit through the meeting as the designers talk about the sneaks. We're talking to Nike about the sneaks they contracted me. These sneaks are suppose to come out this summer, and that's about a month away from now. I don't want to rush anything because I want everything to look right. Nothing rushed.

Deanda is with  me to express her ideas, she doesn't know I got a surprise for her though. I got her a sneaker deal as well, and gave the vision of what my wife likes. I just hope they took it into consideration and put my ideas of hers to use.

"So we came up with a couple designs. The space gray with a black and white gradient check, the all red with a black check and the white and rose gold classics." The designer says. Deanda goes straight for the white and gold sneaks, examining them.

It's clear I know she going be rocking those for promotions. I like all the ideas but being as clean as I am, I do like a little flash to my sneaks. I want something different from the rest of the sports industry. These seem a little simple to me.

"You like those?" I question De. She nods, turning them around to the back and spot her initials in laughter.

"You're funny. I'm guessing these are mine?" She questions.

"Yeah. You're obsessed with white and rose gold so why not. And Frankie Ima be honest, these designs don't speak out to me." I inform him shaking my head.

"Well what kind of ideas do you have? All you told us was that you wanted a different shape to the sports shoe, though you didn't say anything about how you wanted the designs." He says. I nod in understanding because it's true. I just said I wanted a different shape, but I wasn't specific on the colors and all that.

"I like the shape but why not do like a high top, low top and a Chuck. Y'all collaborated with Converses right?" Deanda questions. Frankie nods and writes down the idea. I turn my attention toward her and raise a brow.

"Well let's do basic colors. Black and gold and the white with rose gold. You know, you're releasing these sneaks in the summer and who doesn't need a white or black sneaker to go with a fit with a little gold. If they don't like it, they can always customize it and put their own spin to it." De shrugs. I nod in agreement, twisting in my chair as I look at Frankie.

"I can talk to the team, and we can come up with new designs. Also I'll call up Converses in California and see what they think about another collaboration. Most likely they'll give you a deal because I mean look, you're Darius Bridges. Who doesn't want to work with you?" We all laugh as I watch De change into the her sneaks. She twirls her ankle around while lifting her leg.

"See. Perfect fit." She laughs. I shake my head as Frankie and I talk some more. Once done with the short mishap, Deanda and I leave out the office hand and hand, walking on to the exit. The team following right behind us.

Paparazzi stood outside as the doors open, and I open the back door to the town car. Deanda gets in and I do as well, sitting beside her. Our driver takes off on to the air port. We have to go to New York for this Adidas launching. My sweatsuits and sports armor come out today.

"Well that went well." Deanda says.

"Yea and you did your thing." I tell her. She laughs and kisses my cheeks.

"It's your first sneaker you know, so why go out for the first ones. They're coming out in the summer, and there's not really much needed colors for the summer. So go basic." She shrugs.

"Then like when the fall and winter come back around, do some other colors to run in and all that." She continues.

"Mhmm, I like your sneaks." I smile. She laughs and lifts her leg up.
