## Resource

Salehe Bembury has established himself, for better or worse, with his own style in sneakers. Whether it be his work with Crocs or New Balance, his work is recognizable. Recently it was leaked of his turning down an offer to work with Nike and people were confused. In the end, betting on yourself is risky, but may be the most rewarding. Matt talks through it. --- Subscribe to Matt Frates on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattfratescreates Like what you hear?
