DoKRoC the Mascot originated from a 10 year old made into a sneaker addict in 1989. The original release of the Cement Air Jordan 4s, and shortly after, the Grape Air Jordan 5s made the COO Jamil Bey an addict of sneakz from an early age. This appreciation of footwear made for an objective to see how shoes complete an outfit, but more importantly, showed the ability to make garments catered to shoes. With his 8-year history in the fashion industry as a runway model and coordinator, every detail from head to toe had to be thoroughly critiqued. Color combinations, materials, and textures play such a part into completing his vision. From customizing shirts, jackets, and jeans via an embroidery machine to using a paintbrush on all of those articles and sneakers, specialized looks became routine and desired In his everyday life. The talents became profitable and lead to constructing jeans, due to customers wanting to make sure they had bottoms that accentuate what was on their feet. The DoKRoC stickman logo has a life of his own. The name is an altered reversal of the Crooked~I moniker from his artistic and reggae dancing life. He is the personification of Jamil’s graffiti tag, Intellect412. The “I” in Intellect was made crooked. Moving to the meaning of intellect, it’s the faculty of reasoning and understanding. Wisdom is the root…and in the famous words of Socrates, “I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” This is why the DoKRoC is shrugging his shoulders to display that he only knows a small fraction of real knowledge.
