CBS did us dirty today. Raiders and Chargers instead of Bills and Steelers? This is egregious.

I hate when I ask a question and it’s not answered #Debate2024

And these 👟 don’t do the collection justice. Check out some of my favs though 💪🏾 #sneakerhead #kicks #jordans #jumpman #blindathlete %teamusa

[Lex Gillette @LexGillette]

Just added another pair of kicks to the collection! 👟 this pair has significance because they’re designed for Dan Mancina, a skate boarder who just so happens to be blind. Check em out…and thanks to @airaio for the description of the shoes! #adidas #kicks #sneakerhead

My scholars worked so hard on their vision boards!! A great way to revisit, revise, and adjust our goals. Like @LexGillette says…”who needs sight when you have VISION!!!”

[Connor Fields @connorfields11]

This is my man @LexGillette and he is an absolute legend. I have the upmost respect for him, his guide, and his team. We all make mistakes, this particular one just happened to be televised. He got back up, and kept going. The world needs more of that.
