It went from no promotion to oversize jackets on album covers to a big "R" with a flame to this discreet "R." It's growing, and I think of myself in that way.

SL: What was your first Rocawear item?
TS: I had a whole bunch of Rocawear! There was an old rugged warehouse not too far from where I lived, and my homeboy worked there so we got the discount. I had all the big T-shirts with the "R" and the sweats. My favorite Rocawear item was this gray sweat suit and it had blue piping and said "Rocawear" right here [points to leg]. I probably wore it thirtysomething times [laughs].
SL: What are some of your favorites from the Fall 2010 collection?
TS: The jeans. I love the different washes. The quality is much like a high-end denim like PRPS or Ralph Lauren. And you wouldn't really expect that from an urban line. That's what's so dope with aligning with them at this point, because they're changing and it's much like my career.
