What’s the most expensive piece you own?

Sneaker-wise, it’s the Air Mags. I dropped six bands for those, with no hesitation. I’ve been waiting my whole life to get those. I also have a $6,000 Phillip Lim coat with pockets that are big enough to fit a sandwich. That’s why I got it.

Earlier you mentioned plans of releasing an upscale version of your brand Post 90. What will that line look like?

I want to call it Guw³—Give Us What We Want. Me and my brother used to always be talking about clothes and if somebody gave us something good, we’d be like, “Yes, finally. Just give us what we want. Don’t give me all that extra stuff.” People would make pants, but they’d be weird at the ankle and they’d mess up my shoes. So then I’d have to do something goofy, like put rubber bands around it to pop my shoe out. I shouldn’t have to do that. Or do the European cuff with the twist and roll it up. I shouldn’t have to do that. At first I was going to call it Guwop.

But then people might think it’s Gucci Mane’s line.

Exactly! I wanted the word to resonate with you. I wanted you to hear Guwop, and maybe you did think Gucci, but it gets you interested. But in the end I was like, “We probably can’t do that because he’s officially Guwop. Unless we gon’ have the man involved, but I don’t want to do that.” So I went with Guw³.

Do you think there are any current athlete or celebrity clothing lines that can compare to yours?

I think [Oklahoma City Thunder star] Russ [Westbrook] is doing a good job with his Barneys line. It’s what I expect out of Russ and I can appreciate that. At first, people thought he was just doing it for attention, but nah, that’s really how he likes to dress, bro. And I feel that.

I remember when I was in New York, Melo would be like, “C’mon, Shump, man! Don’t make me walk into the arena with you like that.” But people started complimenting me all the time, so he left it alone. He was like, “Damn, that kinda opened my eyes. I ain’t realize so many people liked how you dressed. I thought people was gon’ laugh at you. You my little bro, so I was tryna help you out. But I gotta let you rock.”

What did Melo roast you for wearing?

I have an Opening Ceremony jacket that had sleeves that zipped off, and I used to wear it as a vest. It’s a lot, though. It’s got the lipstick joint on it, there’s gold everywhere, and the back hem is in the shape of diamond. But it’s real royal. You wear all black with that and people are gonna be like, “Why does he feel like he can wear that? He’s gotta be somebody to just be wearing that.” Melo was just like, “Ugh, c’mon, bro. Really? You can’t just get a regular hoodie and just come out, bro? You gotta have that?” When we got to Cleveland, even Swish had to tell everybody, “Y’all will get used to how he dresses, man.”
