Tell us a little about yourself … I am Jordan Tillman, a 22 year old streetwear creative director. I grew up in Maryland and later moved down to North Carolina during middle school. I played many sports growing up and through High School at Wakefield. After High School, I did not go straight to college because I planned on walking-on at a JUCO or a lower division II or III school. I worked 2-3 jobs and was spending all of my money on shoes, clothes and flashy stuff all of the time.

So I came up with LIKEMIKESZN1 and other designs and just went with my blueprint of what I wanted to make for years to come. It started as The OriginalZ but it just felt lame after awhile. I realized clothes and streetwear became like my new“ sport”. So, I wanted to make the best high-end streetwear I could and called it LXXRYSPORT.
