the way from Dallas welcome to the podcast and Tasha Howard thank you for joining us thank you for having me for sure for sure so Tasha joins us uh definitely from Toledo Ohio so I just gotta say because you're from Ohio you already don't do that rock you already you already my favorite cuz I'm from Ohio too and they trying to hate yeah yeah yeah they be trying to hate on so love from Ohio U but rock with that so two three time three time WNBA Champion two time Allstar 2019 Defensive Player of the Year that's some that's some nice accolades that's some nice accolades and got the fit and got the let's not forget that part for the F we're here for the fit that part that part that part so we gonna get into it with Natasha and uh let's go ahead and um go ahead for here right so you've been in the league for 10 seasons you've had several teammates can you give us five of your best dressed teammates five of my best dressed teammates I'll say diamond The Shield I say Kelsey Plum I say Z Cook okay I say Anissa Smith and I also say myself list that's a nice list all names we've talked about this season for sure and diamond is like top at least top two for both of us yeah oh yeah we love that she can switch it up too so love it she can Kelsey too Kelsey too yeah yeah Kelsey can Kelsey can switch it up Z could switch it up too Z can't switch like she just did it for the uh BT Awards and then two days later for her game it's like boom boom back to back like okay I love it she's on my watch list I had cook on my watch list I can't lie she from Ohio too so oh really respectfully yeah okay from Toledo she from Toledo respect respect yeah Ro hey put some respect on Ohio today after oh all right all right don't say nothing else don't say nothing else all right so Natasha every athlete has a ritual what's your pregame ritual like how do you get into your St what you gonna rock for the day what's what you gonna put in your feet as well as preparing for the game well for me you know I got to take my nap you know that's the first thing I had to do take a nap make sure I put some good in my stomach uh I get up play some music dance a little bit you know hop in the shower and then I pull out my outfit before I take out my shoes so I pull out my outfit first and I go through my car to see what's gonna go with it and I put it on I'm I like this right here so and then I just go to the gym get ready for my flush stretch and then do my individual workout and then go back into the training room again and then get flushed again before the game actually starts uh I go to Chapel you know okay I couldn't do this without God so I go go to Chapel get a little word in and stuff and then go back into the lock room he the coach what the coach got to say and then after that I just be locked in and again and be ready to play and get this win at the end of the day you have a stylist are youy I do my own do your own I style myself myself that make it even that's even more tough to me like you you put it on and you do it yourself like we love sty I'm not gonna say we don't but there's a different level when you when you're doing it yourself I do it myself yeah what would you say your go-to sneaker is right now my go-to sneaker on the court is Kobe but off the court I have so many so many shoes so it's kind of hard to pick that's you have one or two well okay I'll give you um I'll say he Dior I say Dior and um Aces to keep it simple okay because luxury shoes sometimes get a little get a little Funk on the foot it just depends on what shoes you get like me I can't wear Alex McQueen they is so uncomfortable they like they hurt my feet so I don't really I stay away from those shoes say I mean one pair of theor they pretty comfy but the the luy brand they definitely they don't they don't get the exit Comfort they don't give the exit comfort it just depends on which on you get if you get the Dior 550s those are comfortable that's a trainer that's a trainer right yeah so what makes you pick your outfit before your sneaker is it easier that way it's easier that way it easy it's easier that way because if you pick your shoes you like oh my gosh like do I actually have something to go with these shoes so I just pick my outfit first first and then I pick my shoes because I feel like it's just easier and you could actually figure out what shoes you actually wna go with the outfit instead of finding some picking your sneakers for and you like uh that outfit don't go with that this outfit might so it's kind of hard so for me I just go I do the other the other way around we should have called you before packing because I got like 10 pairs of shoes and clothes I just stuff in this bag we G see what happen but man man three day 10 pairs of shoes it's a little crazy but D yeah nah she made me go back and put more shoes in my bag wild y' y'all in Phoenix allar weekend you about to do a lot of stuff so you need at least 10 pair of shoes not that bad for a three day trip two two a day at least two a day exactly you got some plus math ain't ma right right like got a lot of shoes I need the opportunity to wear them bring them we'll see I AG are there any shoes on like your no you got it right you got it are any shoes on your wish list that you like that's the next one I'mma purchase I want those I've been been looking at them they gotta come home well I'm waiting for Asia bution shoes to come out I W for her teally to come out um I also want some uh satu Jordans the the Pees the sunflower ones they not even out yet so I'm going have to ask her to give me a pair of those right there and you know also my shoes I can't wait for my shoe to come out so what I'm like really excited about that I'm just I'm just waiting patiently waiting brought up since you brought up since you brought them up let's talk about him how did that come about what are they called when will we see them well one of my friends know this guy his name is prime he was play in the NFL and uh she she put me and him into contact and that's when everything actually start going like you know going how it is with the shoe right now so I asked them like you know is there way that we can get into business like because this gonna be my first time having a signature shoe since my rookie year since I was with Nike but uh I feel like I deserve a shoe I've been in the league 10 plus years so I feel like I actually deserve this shoe so I'm really grateful to have somebody that's going to be behind me to push the shoe for me so and and he know what it takes to takes for to get a shoe and stuff like that like he had multiple shoe deals himself but he didn't want those type of like Nike he want none of them he wanted to make his own shoe to fit his own foot so that's that's when I'm like okay cool like can you make this shoe like for me like how I wanted like the style how I wanted and stuff he like of course I can like you know I'm like okay Bet like let's let's do it so right now like me and him been like changing changing the shoe a little bit here and there uh we be on Zoom calls facetimes and stuff making sure everything is perfect for my foot because I'm very picky on the shoe when I'm hooping in cuz I don't want the shoe that's too heavy I don't want a shoe that's G to hurt my foot like I want a shoe that gonna be comfortable all around that I could be able to perform 100% on the court so and so far everything's been good so hopefully I get my shoe supposed to be coming in today so see how I feel on my foot and see how it feel on my foot and if it's good to go we G to start wrapping everything up and putting out more color waves and stuff too so I want to jump off track a little bit and just talk about like what's it like being able to like design your own shoe and like just really I mean create that like what's it like doing that creative experience it's actually fun it's really fun like especially like something that you know you deserve years years ago uh it's amazing to actually have someone that believes in you that actually know what you're capable of doing on and off the court so um don't get me wrong it's kind of it's kind of stressful too you like you want it right at like you want it perfect but you know it's gonna always be some mistakes and stuff like that but at the end day go back to the drwing board again and see if it's going to actually look right on the shoe so but uh it's amazing like I'm happy that I'm able to you know create my own shoe how I wanted to create it instead of somebody else doing it for me so I have my own input have my own own input on doing my shoe how I wanted so it's like I'm honored I'm I'm blessed so I'm like I'm just I'm just grateful that's super dope that's super dope so we gonna get into like every every Sinker head has yeah oh definitely definitely yeah we need to know we need to know I got you so every every singer head has a a wish list
