The passion for sneakers has been there since day one, but I never held onto them. I never shrunkwrap them. It's always been about getting it, buying it, wearing it, showing it and moving on to the next one.

More quotes by Pusha T
Let's test the waters... Love makes a splash, and you too thick to skinny-dip.
Pusha T
That competition grew through high school and you step outside more and it grew through college. Then you had regional style speak volumes through college. As you get older, and begin to travel and see more, that was the progression of style for me.
Pusha T
Hip-hop to me right now is really easy listening. It's very easy listening, like there's nothing abrasive about it. There's no album that I put in my car that makes me roll down the windows - all the windows - and ride past the club line three times before I get out the car.
Pusha T
Some athletes are super fashionable and not good. It's like c'mon man focus on your craft, be who you're supposed to be and then go put on the clothes.
Pusha T
To me it's just the knock, man. It's the knock and the groove of the beat. When I start a song, it's the first thought. It's the first thought and the first cadence, because that's the most natural. You know what I'm saying? I feel like people can feel when something is natural.
Pusha T
Fashion right now, people are so...everything is driven by the aesthetic.
Pusha T
The thing that I realize about fashion now, fashion and music, now versus back then is that you had to have fresh records and be fresh.
Pusha T
I don't know if that comes in a number, I don't know if that comes in a plaque, I don't know what it is. If I can keep me and the crew around me happy, stable, and out of jail, then we good.
Pusha T
We shoppers, you bloggers. If money talks, you mumblers. You try it on, then take it off, Then post a pic on your tumblrs.
Pusha T
I don't want people to see what I've been doing at Play Cloths for nine years and built from a streetwear independence standpoint through Japanese streetwear - I don't want that to be shifted into something else.
Pusha T
I got a voodoo doll every time I pen a verse: Not only do they say they feel it, but they say it hurts.
Pusha T
Of course fashion is definitely playing a part.
Pusha T
I believe there's a god above me, I'm just the god of everything else!
Pusha T
Even with social media and where we are...everything is about the look.
Pusha T
I don't ever want anyone to hear my music and look at it as just gratuitous violence, or hustling and money-getting - I try to tell the perspective of the woman, the man, the mind, why.
Pusha T
My style is a mix and match of everything. Like I said, It's Play Cloths, it's Saint Laurent, and I know I sort of won when everything can be understated, it can be three different brands, and you can't really see what it is and then you just ask, Well damn that looks good, what is that?
Pusha T
I try to mix the fashion with the music and what's going on at the time...at the time [when my uniform was black on black] I was putting together an album, my album was my name at the time very minimal, very stripped down, very everything but it still had and have to have some level of pop.
Pusha T
I can't say that music ever made me do anything.
Pusha T
I talk specifically to the lifestyle and those who can relate to it. And I feel like, where the creativity comes in, is where you draw the parallels that everybody can relate to. That's where it's creative for me. I feel like it works best that way.
Pusha T
Sonically, musicians always go above and beyond in our efforts to disrupt radio. It's always about being different. Our radio is never conventional anyway.
