When interviewing Juntos Sneakers' Mauricio Laniado, that Ben Affleck's and Matt Damon's

homage to Air Jordans, the movie, "Air" just came out when Mauricio is doing promotions for his Juntos.

Mauricio commented the book, "Shoe Dog" about Nike's Phil Knight, is the basis for him and Elias Becker to start a sneaker company.

Elias Becker, tennis legend Boris Becker's son, has been living in Southern Florida for a good twenty years.  This is where Mauricio met his childhood friend and business partner. Elias' godfather is rocker, Lenny Kravitz.

Mauricio noticed that Elias has this knack for color and pattern and textile coordinating.  With the usual Gen-X/Millennial thing for upscale streetwear/urbanwear and haute couture sneakers, the two friends figure why not start their own shoe company.

But, it's all about timing and what's important.

This is where Juntos came in.  With Millennial/Gen-Z's ecological-thinking, "Why do good while feeling good while looking good?"
