A Quick Hit with TAI87KICKS

You’ve built a big following in the sneaker community. How did golf come into the picture for you?

I needed a real break from the day-to-day. Friends took me out for a round and I got hooked fast.The course gave me space to reset and still compete. I treated it like therapy. I kept coming back because it felt real and honest. No noise. No pressure. Just me, the swing, and the vibes.

You’re known for your sneaker game. How does that translate to the course?

I bring the same mindset to golf that I bring to the sneaker world. Details matter. Fit matters. Style tells a story. Sneakers have always been about expression and confidence. I wanted that same energy when I stepped onto the fairway. I started mixing heat from my collection with my golf fits. People responded. It showed players they can respect the game and still look like themselves.

How did your partnership with Birds of Condor come about?

I saw a brand that didn’t force golf into a box. Birds felt authentic. The attitude matched how I approach life. Fun. Clean. Confident. We connected because we value the same things. Culture. Creativity. Community. I reached out. They welcomed me in. It felt natural from the start because they let me be me.

What do you love most about Birds gear?

It moves with me and fits the way I play. The designs feel modern. The quality holds up through every round. The pieces stand out without trying too hard. The brand carries the exact attitude I like to bring to the course. I feel like myself when I wear it.

Any advice for people wanting to bring their own style to the course?

Wear what makes you feel comfortable and true to yourself. Keep the respect for the game but don’t lose your identity in the process. Mix your lifestyle pieces with golf gear. Try different looks until you find the one that matches your swing. Confidence is everything. If you feel good, you play better.

Aj's connection with Birds of Condor just clicks. We both celebrate individuality, creativity, and playing the game your own way.
