Footpatrol x Ocean Wisdom | Frequent Players

17.12.19 Frequent Players



Half way through his UK tour and gearing up to the grand finale at Printworks, we grabbed the chance to sit down with UK based rapper, Ocean Wisdom to discuss his journey so far and where its leading him, all the way down to his shoe game.

After spending years perfecting his craft, Ocean Wisdom burst on to the scene with his debut track ‘Walkin’. This was where it was all going to begin for him after managing to lay down a faster rap than the iconic ‘Rap God’ by Eminem.

After catching up with Ocean, we headed down to the show at Printworks to see what his live performances are all about!

Read the interview below and check out the video recap here!

Footpatrol – Ocean, you’re known as one of the hardest lyrical MCs, especially within the UK. That title doesn’t come easy, tell us how you got to the stage you are at now what was it like at the start of your career?

Ocean Wisdom – Practice, constantly just practicing my craft. It’s almost like if you’re a rapper, you’re like a football team you always want to get to the top flight, play against the top teams and do well. That’s kind of how I look at it when getting a feature you want to do well. I like to think that I have done well in all the features I’ve had, which definitely helps elevate you and people’s perception of you. A lot of rappers say “real rappers recognises real rappers” same way real people recognise real people, when I’m in the studio with these people we just vibe off each other and you’re always learning stuff and progressing. I take my work seriously and I feel other hard working musicians just gravitate towards that.

FP – You’re someone who has done their fair share of collaborative projects as well, do you get any inspiration from those people you’ve worked with? –  To name some of those people, P Money, Dizzie Rascal, Ghetts the list goes on… – or do you draw your inspiration from elsewhere?

OW – Each of them inspire me individually, particularly all of the people I’ve worked with in my career so far. They’re kind of elders to me, like I’ve never worked with anyone younger than me because at the start  I was too young for artists to be younger than me. At this age you have people around 19-20 who I haven’t had the chance to work with yet, for me I had a bucket list of people that I wanted to work with and they’re the people who inspired me when I was growing up. That’s why everyone that I have worked with is an inspiration to me.

FP – It must be incredible being able to work with some of your idols?

OW – It surreal, its weird though because often in life the chase is better than the catch you know. With working with your idols its like you chase something and then it lives forever. Where as you might have a girl you really like and you chase her, chase her, chaser her and one day she becomes yours then you realise oh she’s not for me and then you’re stuck. With music you get in the studio with someone sometimes and the tune is dead. I’ve been lucky every time I’ve stepped into the booth with these people the tune has been banging, both parties liking it, and it’s a vibe. You have these dreams and ambitions and then when you put it into fruition you’re like oh it actually worked rather than just an idea that never came out as good as you imagined it.

FP – Many of those people you’ve worked with would say they are Grime artists. Would you say you fall under that bracket or do you think your style and flow comes under a different genre?

OW – I just like to think I have a style that hasn’t got a name, it’s one of those things that I walk a line that has multiple different avenues that exist in the music industry and  I just walk in between a few of them. It’s like a venn diagram, I’m walking into many paths but thats my thing.

FP – So essentially diversity is key when it comes to your content?

OW – I feel like any creative will say the key to keeping your audience engaged is to constantly defy their expectations. It’s like if I can make 1000 songs and I have released 60 on 2 albums and a mixtape all people know is 6% of what I can do, there’s still another 94% to do over time. People try to box you into what they think you are based on what you shown them, but thats on the assumption that you’ve shown your full potential. I haven’t shown people my full spectrum, I haven’t even shown them a fraction of my spectrum yet. By the time we get 10 years down the line when people try to put me in that box it won’t be as annoying because they would have had 10 years worth of music to make that decision. But to say whether I’m grime or Hip-hop now is too difficult.

FP – Hip Hop as a genre has shifted quite a lot since the 80s/90s. As these changes have happened over time a lot of newer rappers have taken a less lyrical approach and focus on easy to remember hooks and simpler rhymes. You’re known as one of the saviours of UK Hip Hop with your complex lyrics and quick flow, do you think that being a good lyricist is just as important now as it was then within the industry? 

OW – Back then if you were into Hip-Hop you were of a certain plain of thinking. Think about the lack of complexity of the average person, and understand half the world is less complex than that and they’re all listening to Hip-Hip now. Now it’s like if you want to do something smart, different and forward thinking you gonna be in an even more smaller bracket than maybe 20 years ago; 20 years ago people were on that level. Whereas now people there not just people that appreciate good quality rap but there’s also people who also appreciate nursery rhymes, dead bars and so on so it’s like what market are you trying to cater to. When I was 15, the logic was just  be as skillful as possible and you’ll blow up through practice and hard work. Now it’s like, you can do that Kendrick is a good example, but you can also do a Lil Pump. When you see Kendrick and Lil Pump are bringing in the same amount of money that year, that’s when you know the demand in the music scene right now is so diverse. It’s not like their trying to appeal to the next man’s demographic, it’s just about doing your own thing, trusting the process and trusting your skills.

FP – Off the top of that, whos your favourite rapper?!

OW – Ghetts. Saying that though Dizzie is definitely up their to and old Eminem, he’s my favourite US rapper. I’m also messing with a lot of American rappers at the moment though, I just like the cadence and the swing that they got going on. UK technicals Ghetts, inspiration Dizzie.

FP – Moving into the serious questions now, your shoe game. Tell us about your interest in footwear, has it always been a part of your life or has the music industry made it a part of your life?

OW – My whole wardrobe is probably the same size as this room but a different shape little bit more square. It’s all colour coordinated so goes from clothes to shoes and goes white, to black, to colours. I’ve got every block colour in all different types of crepe you can think of. For example, I would just go on Nike ID Air Force 1 across the whole colour spectrum so I have that just as a base, I got a couple Vapormax type things, some Off Whites, few Valentinos, some Burberry bits and also collabs like A Cold Wall x Nike. I got a lot of customs, I like to find artists like Justwin Customs he’s sick! He made this Air Force that look like it was on fire, he took a Bunsen burner to it and everything. The concept was to make something which as you wore got better with age. I also got all the bait designer customs like the Gucci on the top of the Air Force all that stuff. If i get a pattern in something I gotta get the pattern in everything, so I’d have the durag, matching the shoe, matching the phone case its mad!

FP – Did you ever have any music idols when you were younger you used to look up to for style inspiration?

OW – Na, you know what it was. I never really had any money to look trendy, I’ve never had any money to dress nice, never had anything like that. I only started getting into it when I was able to start affording it and even then it wasn’t till like 9 months after that because I wanted to make sure I could afford it for a good year before I would even go in the shop. When it was all comfy I went to see what all the fuss is about. I also had a girlfriend at the time who was well in fashion, she was into all that underground trendy stuff she just schooled me on everything. That’s how I got into the customs, working with designers basically all that stuff she put on me. She plugged me up with some knowledge man. 

FP – Just quickly back into music, are there any artists that have caught your eye this year you’re waiting to hear more from?

OW – This is a tricky one. From the US I like Pop Smoke. In the UK, Potter Payper man. 

FP – Ocean thank you for your time, before we let you go is there anything in the works you want to let people know about?

OW – It’s a bit too early to announce what exactly is coming up yet but this time next year you will have never seen a UK rapper ever with a higher work rate than me. That’s all I’m gonna say.

Off-White x Nike Dunk Low | Raffles Closed!

16.12.19 General



Towards the back end of the year, the Nike Dunk Low silhouette has managed to gain a lot of attention with Nike’s revisit of the originally exclusive co.jp Viotech colour way.

Now, it seems the silhouette is making another appearance with the help from one of Nike most successful collaborators, Off-White’s Virgil Abloh. Since the the original Ten collection came to an end, Virgil has continued to explore Nike’s massive archive of trainers looking to add his distinct style to some of the most iconic silhouettes the swoosh has appeared on.

First shown to the public on the runway at Paris Fashion Week, the first two colour ways came in collaboration with the artist Futura which helped raise the profile of this collab even more making the Off-White x Nike Dunk become one of the most sought after sneakers in 2019.

Now coming to the end of the year, its time for them to show face, all be it without the original Futura collaboration seen on the runway. Taking three of Nikes most well known colour-ways, Virgil Abloh has added his distinct branding touches. Location and date branding appear on the medial side, whilst a dual lacing system now sits on top.

Nike Dunk Low ‘Viotech’ | Sold Out!

09.12.19 General



The Viotech story first takes us back to the year 2001, in a pre ‘internet-sneakerhead’ time when dial-up was king and it wasn’t as easy as it is today to track down regional exclusive releases from abroad without travelling thousands of miles.  

During this time, Nike’s Japanese Division was in the process of introducing their co.jp initiative, which created colourways only available in very select locations in the country. One of these was known as the Rainbow, which launched alongside a trio pack called the ‘Ugly Duckling’ pack. 

The ‘Rainbow’ was the standout model of that time – a sneaker that featured a clash of colours that all bounced off of one another. The design just worked and subsequently, it’s now seen as an icon.

To celebrate the launch of the Nike Dunk Low ‘Viotech’ we thought we would take a trip down memory lane. We interviewed longtime sneakerhead, dunk collector and OG Footpatrol friend Tom MV, one of the editors of EU Kicks. 

We sat down with Tom to talk about the Nike Dunk, Co.Jp, the ‘Viotech’ and where his love for the game came from.

Launching in-store (LONDON) on Tuesday 10th December, sizes range from UK3.5 – UK12, priced at £85.

Footpatrol: Tom, thank you for having us. Before we get into it tell us a little about yourself and where you love for sneakers came from? You’ve been collecting for quite a while if I’m not mistaken.

Tom: Not at all, thank you for taking the time to visit! 

It’s really interesting how everything has evolved, for me it wasn’t a conscious collector thing, I’ve just always worn sneakers. The interest mainly began with early 80’s hip hop and basketball. Like so many of my generation, NY graffiti / street culture and the music that came from it, that whole street / basketball aesthetic was a big influence. That’s when I started to really notice the shoes, it was vibrant, rebellious, addictive!

Since I was old enough to earn pocket money, I’ve been buying sneakers. They were always worn and binned. End of. Lol.

FP: By looking at what’s around us you’re no doubt a big dunk fan. What was it about that shoe that got you hooked?

Tom: I was always aware of the dunk high model, it was probably from when kids used to really geek out in microscopic detail on sports magazines, shoe adverts or record sleeves, but it was never a shoe I had actually seen for sale in the beginning. All the 80’s classic basketball highs were staple go to’s, Legend Hi’s, Air Forces, Delta AC’s, Blazers, Sky Forces, Alpha Forces, Penetrators, Vandals, but no Dunks! Then in 1991, I was fortunate enough to visit Japan, I saw Dunks, which were totally un-affordable and presented with such reverence, almost of historical importance and not meant for wear. It was a real WTH moment. It was just staggering to experience how on it they were from the beginning really. Then when they started to retro Dunks in ’98, that was pretty much it lol. 

FP: The Nike Dunk these days is more associated with SB. Before SB though they were a basketball shoe right?

Tom: Pretty much. Before the era of scientific analysis of athletic performance and textile advancements for footwear, the dunk was just a fairly basic, solid leather high top. It was a simple design that offered padded ankle/lace up support, perforated toe box for ventilation, and maybe just as importantly, it was very easy to colour to represent Basketball teams. It was tough, durable and very comfortable, which ticked all the right boxes back then.

FP: Some of the most sort after pairs are actually non-SB dunks too.

Tom: There’s an endless list of really great colour ways/models, especially as Nike products where very region specific during the original re-issue phase. So, it’s not just about exclusive samples or even F&F pairs. The Dunk retro’s were a very affordable shoe, easy to wear, everyday comforts.

So to find a good GR release say from Foot Action or JD Sports, that might have been once widely available, in new condition now is not an easy task at all. Pre-instagram, buying/collecting habits were somewhat different.

That’s what’s great about Dunks, their rarity isn’t always about market value. 

FP: Tell us about some of your favourite pairs?

Tom: How much time have we got? Lol. Out of pairs I owned I just really like all of the 1998/00’ OG retros with the padded nylon tongues. I’m less of a stickler for production details nowadays, but those were really good, they were period correct, and the silhouette, leather and build quality was peak for a GR. I don’t think I’ve seen a bad pair of those at all, applying to any region / retailer release. The first Stussy Dunk High duo were a highlight of that era also. Stussy really delivered. Those were untouchable.

Non retail, the Deftones High. Massive, massive fan of the band, and obviously this pair is never going to happen again. I had my chance once and I slept. No Regrets haha. 

FP: Now we are here to talk about a specific pair, that pair being Nikes 2019 retro of the Nike Dunk ‘Viotech’. This shoe originally released in 2002 and was what was known as a Co.Jp release. Is there any light you can shed on what Co.Jp means? We don’t hear that very often these days in the sneaker world.

Tom: There’s definitely a lot of mystery surrounding this, but from what I understood, it was simply a separate operation that was exclusive to the Japan region with very different consumer demands at the time. Just as there were Nike US and Euro specific releases that catered to their own unique, domestic markets. The Japanese consumers are incredibly well read, obsessively detail orientated and understand product very deeply and very well. As a result, Nike Concept Japan experimented and thrived with this relationship, elevating product and applying at first, subtle changes and colour way nuances that pushed away from sports function and paved the way for sportswear crossing into urban lifestyle/streetwear. It gained notoriety being only available in Japan undoubtedly, and Niketalk was THE place where connects were made to get this product lol. If I remember correctly Nike Co.JP was also the url for Nike online in Japan during this time.

FP: The original pair which was actually called the ‘Rainbow’ and now fetches a decent amount in the after market. What was it about about it being a Co.Jp that made it so sought after? Do you think the regional exclusivity aspect played a big part?

Tom: Yes to all of the above.

You have to remember during this time, it was pre Nike SB, and wild, exceptional colour ways on Dunks had not happened yet, I remember Dunks for the most part were mainly 2 coloured, based on the OG colour blocking on the ‘Be True’ college styles. As iterations of those colour ways reached their zenith in both high and low formats, adding a third colour on Dunks was a really big deal. I remember the Foot Action Dunk High Carolina’s causing meltdowns lol. The Rainbow suede’s were uniquely different, very colourful, and it was perfectly timed as it was what all the Dunk collectors were waiting for.  

FP: Were there any other notable Co.Jp pairs that were released before the SB days began? I noticed in your collection you have a few pairs.

Tom: All the Japan Dunks were really unique, they released really good colour combinations like in their City Attack series which saw them also drop matching pairs in their reverse colour way. They came in colours like metallic black/purples, tonal greys, muted blues etc. They really took colour ways to a new level of sophistication.

FP: Now bearing in mind that these pairs you’ve mentioned were exclusive in Japan, how were you able to get you hands on any?

Tom: I often bought on travels and I had friends who would pick them up on their travels also. You could find them months sometimes years after release in sneaker stores and even though they were probably resold in these stores, they were often to be found for not too much above retail. Hong Kong/Asia was particularly good for having a lot of great Japanese Import sneaker stores, picking up pairs then for £60 or thereabouts.  

FP: Without things like Instagram, Facebook pages and other social channels it must of been hard find a plug overseas to help out?

Tom: I’m very lucky I have family and friends out in Asia, who helped along the way and then there was also Niketalk. That was about it I think. Lifelong friends came out of that little forum. 

FP: Bringing it back to the ‘Viotech’, what does it take to make a good retro? 

Tom: It’s un-reasonable to expect exact period correct reproductions now with changing textiles and manufacturing supply challenges, but a well made shoe, is a well made shoe. If the materials are of good quality and build /execution is strong, I’d be happy enough with that. It’s more important for me to be able to buy and wear a long out of production sneaker classic, even if it is slightly different. And If you are buying it for the 1sttime, that for me is plenty enough.

FP: Are there any features on this release that you’re happy to see?

Tom: I don’t have the 2002 versions anymore, but I remember them getting all floppy and soft after a few wears, even though the suede was good, it didn’t hold shape too well. The 2019 looks solid and the colours seem very close to the original. If they hold their shape better then that’s got to be a huge plus! Maybe a retro box would be great, just for added nostalgia / emotional trauma lol.

FP: Well Tom, thank you again for having us you’ve dropped some crazy knowledge, before we go is there anything you want to say or shoutout?

Tom: Shouts definitely go to my Mrs & girls at home who put up with all this obsessive madness. And of course FP, where some of my favourite Dunk pairs go way back to the St. Anne’s Court store, so to be asked to discuss them here today has been a real honour and highlight.

Thanking you and all at Team FP for having me!
