Myles O’Neal recently secured a lucrative collaboration with a 160-year-old Cuban company. Unlike his other family members, Myles is one of the rare ones who did not choose basketball as his career. Instead, the 26-year-old created his own path in the world of the fashion and music industry. And being a supermodel, he’s very familiar with the fashion world.

Recently, he was even seen mourning the loss of a major fashion icon who met with a tragic vehicular accident. Shaq’s son joined millions in expressing his condolences for the legendary founder of a streetwear brand.

Former NBA collaborator and streetwear legend, Chris Printup

The world of fashion woke up to the brutal news that Chris Printup passed away on the morning of 28th June 2023. Printup founded the company ‘Born X Raised’ in 2010 and has since raised it into one of the most recognizable streetwear brands in the world. ‘Born X Raised’ represents the city of Los Angeles, and several models, including Myles, have been mourning its founder’s loss recently.

Just last year, Printup’s company dropped some fire collabs with the Los Angeles Lakers. The cultural fit between streetwear and basketball made the clothing line a hit. Spanto, as he’s lovingly referred to by his fans, left an indelible mark on the city of Angels.
