THE MAN IN THE BLACK CHUCKS (Justin Tutt)

The Man In The Black Chucks wears the most powerful sneakers in the world—old, faded and dusty Converse with holes on the sides. His shoes tell the story of his real life adventure, on being “that kid”- the kid that only had one pair of shoes, the kid that got teased because their house wasn’t as nice as everyone else’s, the kid who you counted out because of his repeatedly worn clothes, the kid some thought would end up in prison- we all know that kid. 

Faced with beyond humble circumstances, The Man in the Black Chucks weathered these obstacles by one thing and one thing only- perseverance (never giving up)! Even through hardships and facing adversity, he continues to take legendary steps in his shoes, reminding students it doesn’t matter where you come from - it matters where you’re going.
