Sneakerheads and streetwear enthusiasts all remember Bryan Greenberg from HBO's now-defunct How to Make It in America series. His tale as Ben Epstein, a fashion school dropout trying to make it big with his streetwear label, Crisp, resonated with many that participate in this culture. As it turns out, he's actually not much different than the style-obsessed character he played on HTMIIA or the typical sneakerhead you see at your local boutique.

Complex recently had the chance to catch up with Greenberg where he discusses his current projects and even shares his stance on the shoe game, particularly Air Jordans.

When it comes to Js, Greenberg believes that there's an over-saturation in the market. "I am at a place in my life right now with Jordans, and I’ve gotten so many Jordans in my life, that I am just tired of fishing out colorways of the same sneakers," Greenberg said. "I am kind of just trying to go different now. I am sick of Jordans. I feel like I've worn them out."

Greenberg still keeps up with the culture, though, saying he's a fan of Bo Jackson's Nike Air Trainer and is excited to see what Kanye does with adidas. Be sure to read Complex's full interview with Greenberg here.
