crew profiles #4: Adam Jacob

1. Name?
Adam Jacob
2. Hometown?
Oconomowoc, WI
3. Age?
23
4. Nicknames?
Cool Adam
5. What is it you do here?
Basically I’m like a hitman for the MODA3 mafia. I get my hands dirty when no one else wants to.
6. How long have you been with MODA3?
I’ve been here for a little over a year and a half now.
7. What does your typical day look like?
First I break out any new product that we got in that morning and put it into our inventory system, make sure it gets to our photo people to get shot for MODA3.com and then goes wherever it needs to go. Then I help out with orders and after that I do any other dirty work that needs to get done.
8. What’s your favorite part of your job?
There’s nothing like opening up a fresh shipment of Nikes and not knowing what you’re going to see. It’s like christmas for me every day here. Man I love my job!
9. What products that are in the shop or on the horizon are you feeling?
Nike snow gear is insane!
10. Who have you been listening to lately?
We rock 88.9 Radio Milwaukee almost all the time in the warehouse which is just fine with me. If you look at my Itunes library you see everything from KRS-One to Paul Simon to Radiohead. Check out The RZA, Morcheeba, and Zero 7 if you haven’t heard of them and oh yeah… I can’t forget about The Lobster Boys.
11. Favorite Shred spot?
I think I’m the only person at MODA3 that hasn’t snowboarded before. I’m going to learn this year though and we’re going to document it right here on the blog.
12. What brands are you backing these days?
I would rock everything in the store if I could, but a man’s gotta eat. 100 Styles and Running kicks, Lifetime Collective and Freshjive streetwear all do it for me. I’d skip a meal any day for a fresh pair Nike kicks though.
12. Parting shots / shouts?
Gotta thank my man Freddy T. for showing me what it means to be fresh, Keylo and Jake for givin me a home at MODA3 and Angie for making sure I eat my breakfast. Seriously guys, I’ve got the greatest friends and family in the world and I love you all! peace.
