finally, me babies are here.❤️

In 2013, a guy walked into AkeArts&BookFestival with a huge tray of fila. He was soft-spoken & generous. He gave me 2 fila for free, said he was selling out twice a day. That’s how fila became a thing—everybody was wearing one! Fila guy was a legend for the 5 years Ake was in Abeokuta.
