Al Capone wears JUMP

I met Stephen Graham through Andrea, the ultimate connector of people.  He’s been in movies like Gangs of New York and shows like Band of Brothers but I’m really stoked to see him in his next HBO show called Boardwalk Empire, where he plays Al Capone.  Directed by Martin Scorcese!  We were talking about his role and it’s a credit to the power of the writers, directors and actors that craft characters like Henry the VIII, Dexter and Tony Soprano in such a way that you feel a connection to them and root for them even though they may be outright dogs, murderers and criminals.  Stephen tried on the Vanquish and was sold right away.  He said he doesn’t usually wear high tops and opts for his Adidas low tops but once he put on the Vanquish in Grey Nappa, he was converted.  He also remarked that he’d worn Travel Fox back in the UK.  Very cool guy.
