Favorite places to shop: Gucci, Louis Vuitton, I just love going there. I like all the accessories, the belts, wallets, the shoes are ill.
Favorite tunes to skate to: Fly Society, that’s it.
Besides the TK, what’s your favorite shoe to skate in: The Supra Cruiser.
Shoe that got you hooked: First skate shoe was the Emerica Marc Johnson. Other than that the Deion Sanders Nike.
What’s on your feet: The Supra TK Societys, crispy sample white ones, only 2 pairs exist right now
Last pair you purchased: Guccis, I don’t know the name, but Gucci Mane wears em.
Favorite pair you don’t own: I’m not gonna front, The Kanye Louis look dope.
Top 3 sneakers of all-time:
Supra TK Societys
Supra Muska Skytops
Supra Vaiders
If i wasn’t a skater, I would probably be a: Football or basketball player.
One thing people might not know about me: I love a lot of R&B music, I even like usher. but most people trip when they find out I’m even into M83 and MGMT.
One reason why shoes matter: Because it sets your whole outfit off, you can wear a dusty outfit but the shoes will make it work. I’ll wear my jeans all the time and it won’t matter as long as my shoes are killin’ it.

If yall knew yall was gonna leave a hate comment why say “oh no i just wasted 5 minutes of my life”, if you dont like the man, why click the link?
May 13, 2009 at 9:19 pm
no doubt homie, not a lot of people understand to be able to compete with his other homies (PROD, SHeckler, Rogers) those are household names. T is only 23 and he has the mind set of being the best. hell get there. I aint worried.
May 13, 2009 at 7:35 pm
@roscoe well that changes everything for me. i wish him the best of luck i saw phootage of him and i know he is good. but i didnt know he was at the x games or anything like that but since he is i take back what i said. So i wish him the best of luck. regardless i fux with tk
May 13, 2009 at 4:53 pm
that chain is so f’n ICEY!!!!!!
WEST COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAST!!!!!!
May 13, 2009 at 4:19 pm
speaking of shows and stuff, hes been competing lately, he will be at x games 15 as he was last year. he hasnt been competing because he is what you call “raw” talent. He wants to get better before actually competing. Also, you can be a pro just by doing videos and photos. as what did get him famous.
May 13, 2009 at 4:14 pm
I’ve known TK for years, homie learned how to skate in 5 minutes, took a week to get sponsored, and 3 years to go pro. Whats so poser about that? he was the captain of the ice cream team. homie can skate. trust me
May 13, 2009 at 3:24 pm
“fly society thats it” LOL
May 13, 2009 at 9:54 am
Wasn’t he wearing “ice creams” a while ago . . . .
May 12, 2009 at 11:26 pm
@iskatemyshoes. i totally agree with you when you said “hes a humble n funny dude but i think he got blind n forgot what actually got him to his fame, THE BOARD”. everytime i see him on a board hes on a show. not like in a competition. but dont get me wrong we not with him 24/7 he may be doing more than what we think but i want to see him in more competitions. i see ryan schecler however you spell it everywhere
May 12, 2009 at 11:20 pm
i meant supras in general have been out lol….
May 12, 2009 at 11:19 pm
I respect TK and hes one of my favorite skaters but hes wrong for thinkin those are the greatest lol na but its all fun. Theve been out for almost 4-5 years and theyre slowly jumpin off…the Lupe situation is like this, all u skaters who think lupe cant skate need to post ur evidence on youtube or something unless ur judgin him on his high ass ollie in “kick push”, people need to stop with that…the shoe is aight, diff. and nice to fashion fiends, probably wont skate (isnt it a skate shoe?) good but w/e ill skate a pair anyway…as for the “he has his own shoe so hes gotta be worth sumthin” ish mutumbo has his own shoe. Yi has one. The Game has one. so now ur gonna tell me theyre doin things big n theyre up there on the greatest list, hells na….hes a humble n funny dude but i think he got blind n forgot what actually got him to his fame, THE BOARD. Now he wants to be a rapper, actor, n all dis other ish but hes only catchin a lil rec at a session or skatin at an event for scrill n whatnot…SHOE is aight…TK is aight…LUPE can skate and is aight….stay up
May 12, 2009 at 10:59 pm
wow alot of people have their opinions. but i think , well he seems like a cool person to me. i remember watching him on some show a long time ago on mtv where he switched places with another persons life. but he seems humble. the shoes in my opinion are a like or love it like the air yeezys. the shoes are different . the pic he makes them look good. would i buy? i duno i gota see these in person. cant really hate on him, i mean hes got his own shoe. but the top 3 thing of course he would say supras. hes trying to promote his brand.
o and about the lupe thing. i dont think it was that serious for him talk about him like tha but thats the past.

TK looks like a cross between Barney and Sabretooth in that pic! LMAO!
May 12, 2009 at 8:48 pm
These r ok i cant see my self in them but TK is doin it big, how many of u can say u have ur own shoe. I cant
May 12, 2009 at 8:06 pm
too many haters, you can eat my dick.
May 12, 2009 at 7:32 pm
“Last pair you purchased: Guccis, I don’t know the name, but Gucci Mane wears em.”
smfh.
May 12, 2009 at 6:58 pm
i dont like his shoes
May 12, 2009 at 5:57 pm
lol @ last shoes purchased response.
May 12, 2009 at 5:44 pm
d_stroy- so now for you to like something you have to be amazing at it? if i made a song about basketball and the song goes hard… would allen iverson have the right to come diss me because im not as good as him? naah, especially if his diss track is horrible… you wanna know what is assbackwards? TK rapping and going at lupe is assbackwards, thats why lupe smashed him on haterhop and didnt even mention his name
but to the kicks, not my taste at all, very ugly, and i dont care how clean you think you might look with em on, a person with the same fit and a pair of dunks or blazers will look 10x better
May 12, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Man why yall got to hate on tk hes a real skater with a real attitude, and Lupe aint no real skater hes more of a poser than tk will ever be. Look up some of TK’s work on YouTube then talk, but till then learn sumthin about the guy. HHAATTEERRSS.
May 12, 2009 at 4:03 pm
yungmoneydjt - i agree with you in regards to the lupe diss..i dont think he was in the right but at the sametime, how you gonna drop a song like “kick push” and not really be dope at skateboarding? its assbackwards if you ask me… i say humble because of all the times i came across him he always went outta his way to say what up! not everyone is like that yaknow? but on to the kicks…im not tryin to convince anyone on liking these,its all on the consumer, i like these kicks, they are different…aesthetically, they work for skateboarding,style-wise..they dont mimik any other shoes!!! they were supposed to be muskas shoe but muska passed it to tk when he signed with supra. i get tired of cats sayin that supra copied nike mimiking the yeezy’s!!! thats not even the case! supra is in a league of there own, like it or not..they are gutsy for being different.peace yall!
May 12, 2009 at 3:41 pm
compton ass terry….is buggin if he thinks the top 3 sneakers of all time are supras
May 12, 2009 at 3:33 pm
THIS KID IS WACKER THAN BOW-WOW AND JEFF JORDAN PUT TOGETHER
May 12, 2009 at 3:00 pm
ive never seen or heard tk being humble… he even tried to diss lupe on a track and got slaughtered when lupe went back at him
he’s not the bes skater, nowhere near being good at rapping, and should be a second rate memory like he was on viva la bam(compton ass terry)
but hey im just sayin i lost all respect for him when he went at lupe, and then these shoes… no comment lol
May 12, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I really don’t like em that much the Muskas look better
Ain’t this the dude who said if u don’t skate don’t wear Supras? If so he’s a real lame
May 12, 2009 at 2:09 pm
tk is the truth…from skating to footwear..im not really the “hightop” type of man, but i copped these to support tk, and happen to feel the shoes on a comfort level..plus it sets me apart from the clones out there. supras are dope..haters only make things easier to cop…and he is mad humble too…yall just mad cause yall dont gotta signature shoe. herbs!!!!
May 12, 2009 at 1:48 pm
i’ll never understand why people hate on TK so much. he’s not cocky or anything, he’s def. not a poser and has his own style. how could u hate on that?
May 12, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Seems like a cool dude to me but what do i know. Shoes arent really my style though.
May 12, 2009 at 1:20 pm
The bread ones are ok @ best! Its way too high! The soles should have simple with no lines running through them!I think the entire shoe should have been perforated!
May 12, 2009 at 12:50 pm
The shoe is not my style. But if your in to supras then this could be your yeezys.
May 12, 2009 at 12:37 pm
WOW Nicekicks, you should ask for your 5 minutes back.
Who are you going to interview next? … Soulja Boy?
