Breion Terrance Eugene Dixon, aka, 2’Live Bre, lives to inspire a generation of fearless, resilient overcomers to experience unbridled impact through modern storytelling. 2’Live Bre, the hip-hop music artist, is nationally acclaimed sharing stages with artists like Cardi B, Migos, Yo Gotti, Young Thug and has appeared on Netflix shows and other motivational-driven TV projects.

This new collection inspired by his Butterfly Nation movement showcases not only his deep-rooted love for words, music, rhyming, rhythm and flow, but also his unusual vulnerability about depression and mental health - detailed in his latest album entitled Butterfly Effect. His allure with butterflies derives from his personal journey to wellbeing.

As the first sneaker and journal release in a series unveiling the lifecycle of a butterfly, Breion’s collection is aptly entitled Hope. The collection, Hope, illustrates the first phase of a butterfly’s evolution in which hope is literally born. Inscribed on each Hope shoe and journal, choice lyrics from his Butterfly single, "I know I'm a seed. I’m tryna see my flower bloom.”

Alan Daniel Pérez is a graphic designer. He finds inspiration in the organic forms of nature looking for a balance between the fantastic and the real. He has forged a career in various disciplines.

Inspired by things Alan likes, skulls which awaken our awareness as human beings, and nature, which is part of our daily life. For Alan, miscegenation is a clash of alien elements when put together leads us to explore new ways of seeing life, to feel connected with new ways of creating and transmitting emotions. The main message is to change the way we know the world, combine things that we would never imagine and open the panorama of what we see daily.
