After No Sweat, find how the self-proclaimed sneakerhead & music artist Kir found his way to bloom in music.

Why you should check out No Sweat's rising artist Kir.

From the streets to thousands of listeners on Spotify. This is Kir thriving.

With a trajectory that would inspire all these people by itself, the streetwear savant and rising musician got a fanbase to call his own organically.

METCHA - Kir - streetwear - the music artist Kir with his leather sneakers collection

With the release of “No Sweat”, we could peek at Kir’s reference to the hustlers and go-getters.

Having moved away from the streets into a high-end mansion, what we have in hands is a metaphor of all that involves finally getting where you really wanted.

“It feels good to see all the work I’ve been putting in for years coming to the light. I learned to continue to work towards being a better me so whenever my time comes to shine I’ll be ready.”

Through lyrics with substance and aesthetically conducted by the distinguished leather uppers a lot of artists used to dream about before fame, Kir showed us why he’s one step ahead during an exclusive talk.

How do you relate the streetwear culture with music & all that lifestyle rising hip-hop artists are putting out there?

I feel like streetwear plays a big part in who I am as an artist. I may be in a pair of Jordan 1s today and some Louis Vuitton boots the next day. The fit expresses how I’m feeling similar to when I’m in the booth making music. How I feel is what’s gonna bleed on the track.

“My sneakers define the mood I’m in, but they also tell a story depending on my fit.”

Can you pick 5 favorite sneakers in your closet right now?

Five of the favorite sneakers in my closet would have to be my Jordan One Off White collection. I always have to keep a pair of fresh Air Force Ones.

I can’t forget my Alexander McQueens. They may not be running shoes, but they lay with almost anything I put on. My Palm Angels Recovery Sneakers, and most importantly my Retro Jordan One collection.

Getting closer to the most authentic forms of self-expression is the way we thrive.
