WWE costume designer Sarath Ton, aka Mikaze, returns to The Sessions with Renée Paquette podcast. Ton discusses what it's like for a WWE costume designer during WrestleMania season, designing gear for Seth Rollins and Logan Paul, how being a wrestler helps when designing ring gear, being inspired by Rey Mysterio, what it's like to be designing sexy ring gear for his wife Sasha Banks. He also talks about how he and Sasha first met, dating, and his reaction when The Boss and Naomi won the Women's Tag Team Championship. And you'll hear about designing a sneaker with Diadora to spark conversation regarding autism awareness and acceptance.
The shoes will be available April 13 at Foot Locker and Champs Sports locations as well as online retailers. Ton wrote the following about the shoes on his Instagram:
