Strange on Purpose

Jamiersen Green is a creative visionary and culture enthusiast. Hailing from the Streets of Flint, Michigan he learned the gift of gab, influence, and entrepreneurial skills from his father at a young age. Fresh out of High school he began working within the sneaker industry at the age of 17 at Champs Sports. He knew there was more out there to accomplish and build within this industry. Using his entrepreneurial spirit he created a start up brand to pay for classes at the University of Michigan and graduated with a degree in Communication. The only way to get connected into the industry was to take a leap of faith. He sold everything he owned to fund the jump New York City, the main hub for creative culture. Moving without a solid job lined up, stable living arrangements, or knowing more than one person in the city he walked by faith, slept on couches, lived in daycares, and survived off of dollar pizza, all in hopes of seeing his dreams through. He finally gained his first connection into the industry when he cold emailed Jeff Staple of Staple Pigeon, an OG, of sneaker and street culture. Jamiersen’s passion and drive to be great warranted a response from Jeff, and he brought him in for an interview and eventually a marketing position with Staple Pigeon. At Staple he learned the ins and outs, and basics of culture business. Leaving Staple Pigeon he landed a job with cultural marketing giant Game Seven Marketing, with a position ideating, managing and working high energy projects for clients such as Nike, Jordan, StockX, Foot Locker, and more. Jamiersen’s faith and energy has brought him a long way to growing within is perspective of the industry and connecting on a daily with influencers of culture, while using his vision to serve brands and create a platform where the sneakers and culture is now a way to educate and inspire a story of life, trials, and perseverance.
