Making of L3NF
Glyn Brown was in class in Spanish class in 10th Grade. It started off as a small conversation between him and a friend who commented on his style, saying that he wears a lot of bow ties and he could make something out of it; the movement was set in motion when he made his logo and started to promote the release of his crew neck Winter 2011 on his Facebook page and received feedback. He then started to promote it on his Tumblr page. Glyn then got discovered by Nike through Tumblr & YouTube. It was in the midst of one of the many events that Glyn has hosted called the "REBEL" event in April. He received an email from someone from Nike reaching out to him to do a collaboration on the Digi Camo AF1 Sneaker. They hosted an event together and he made an exclusive L3NF pin that was sold with the sneaker.
