Each episode of City Gear's Fresh Off The Block series, produced in partnership with Nike and Nice Kicks, takes viewers to a new city to explore the area's impact on the music scene, basketball, personal style, and the neighborhoods behind the city's heartbeat.
In celebration of the recent Cincinnati, OH featured episodes of Fresh Off The Block, City Gear, in partnership with Nike, hosted an in-store event at one of our local stores with special guests Brince Etter and Mark Dorris!
Mark is basketball legend in Cincinnati who got a scholarship to play basketball at Princeton. After his own career ended, Mark decided to give back to the Cincinnati youth and build up the younger generation of basketball culture in his own way. In honor of his father, Mark started the Leave Your Mark Foundation that helps empower youth being raised in a single parent household due to death or incarceration.

He is a three-time Cincinnati Poetry Slam Champion and is going to give us a special performance here shortly. Brince’s work with Based on a True Story fills our neighborhood with a sense of togetherness and they make such an impact through truth speaking and spreading of self-knowledge.

Style is more than self-expression, it’s an expression of your city, your community, your culture.
Your style is an extension of your DNA.
When the streets are your runway, it doesn’t matter where you show up. The style is curated, but the swag is effortless. It’s in your way of walk. Your way of talk. Your style is your way of letting all those around you know, “I’m here. Take notes.”
When you step out, you always keep it fresh, because what you wear is as authentic as you are. So put on for your city, your neighborhood, your street, and always show up Fresh Off the Block.
Each episode of City Gear’s Fresh Off The Block series, produced in partnership with Nike and Nice Kicks, takes viewers to a new city to explore the area’s impact on the music scene, basketball, personal style, and the neighborhoods behind the city’s heartbeat.
