Check him out on Entertainment Tonight coming out of dance practice with his partner Chelsie Hightower (who even has her own blog) and getting hounded about everything from his tattoos to his ankles. He is a world class athlete getting his biggest shine from his dance moves – This is so fucking weird! Via 686.

This video about the dope 686 x Levi’s riding denim collabo is buried a bit on the 686 site and hasn’t really been seen much. Watch as 686 Creative Director Mike West chops it up with Levi’s Global VP of Creative Design Caroline Calvin and gives some insight into how the project came to be and what some of the inspiration was. These two have to have two of the world’s sickest jobs. For more Mike West, hit up his blog on Hypebeast. The 686 x Levi’s collection is out now and really fresh.
