Friday Top Five:: November 11th, 2022
Each week in our ‘Friday Top Five’ segment, we feature five things we thought were interesting, notable, or culturally significant. This week we have shifted the structure of the show just slightly. You will start to notice more things that align an action. Based on how I research and tag things in support of the show, it just felt like it was the right direction to head. This week we are featuring five stores, from life hacking to things you need in your life.

Chris’s Background: I believe in craftsmanship. I believe in giving full focus to a project until the job is done right. I believe in slab serif fonts, ample white space, and finding balance in asymmetry. I believe design should facilitate joy, not addictions.
Early in my career, I sharpened my eye for design through video production and editing. I spent two years working with NBC and Paladin Media where I focused on cinematography, editing, producing, and writing.
After moving to Raleigh, I transitioned to design. I spent three years learning UX hands-on at Stanley Gibbons before becoming a multi-faceted designer at Genesys where I worked on all of their digital properties.
From there, I spent three years working in agencies where I oversaw web and product design for a variety of clients including Josh Cellars, Toshiba, Great Outdoor Provision Co, Wolters Kluwer, AARP, and more.
Now, I’m the Design Lead for Kickfin, the leading gratuity management software on the market, where I oversee design for our product and marketing.

Story-5:: Fresh footwear to Wear
Overview: John Geiger is a high-end brand forged on the simple idea of combining versatility, style and comfort. With these three pillars, our products effectively give its wearer, the confidence needed to tackle every day while wearing a John Geiger product. His love for creating was sparked throughout his childhood which then organically blossomed into him creating his very own sneaker/shoe from the ground up. John takes inspiration from various outlets in his life while pairing it with his very own vision to create these silhouettes. John has perfected his aesthetic of unique concepts, materials, and color combinations into an eponymous label. Founded in 2017, John Geiger has quickly risen as a formidable creator in this group with early contributions that have made their mark in the world of footwear, including being named one of "The 25 Most Influential People In Sneakers Right Now" by Complex. Every product release has an individual story and with John Geiger, no opportunity is wasted to explore and experiment his vision further.
Learning about John and the relationship he has had with the Nike team via the good people over at Full-Size Run (Youtube Video Linked Here). Launching this week is the "WHITE & GREY" GF-01 BY JOHN GEIGER, for me is the adult Panda for a guy like me who like to sock sneakers and a suit. Consistent with the settlement and Consent Judgment in the Nike lawsuit, the shoe will be discontinued in May 2023 so make sure you pick up a pair.
