The healing power of a popping vibe corner
Jawns-loving Detroit Lion Romeo Okwara drops advanced gems, PLUS a beautiful Reese Cooper boot SpyBlessing
Romeo Okwara — you may know him as a defensive end for the Detroit Lions, who recently signed a 3-year contract extension because he does his damn thing on “the gridiron”…
Even more impressive?? Blackbird Spyplane recently signed Romeo to a coveted “Blackbird Spyplane Interview,” which was so good that we re-signed him to a 10-minute phone-call extension on the spot, because this man has Mach 3+ levels of taste and charm !! You might find him getting off big-gas Japanese fits in GQ… taking beautiful photos with a Leica and posting them to his IG… or collecting spicy vinyl on some rarefied audiophile s**t…
Romeo was born in Lagos, Nigeria, moved to the U.S. at age 10, went to college at Notre Dame, spent his NFL rookie year in NYC playing for the Giants, and just copped a place in Detroit… We asked him to look around the crib & tell us about a rare & cherished possession, and he replied without hesitation: “Gotta be my Hi-fi sound system… That thing is my teleportation device.”
We called him to learn more — and wound up going turbo mode on life, love, sound systems, Greek tapestries, and the magic of vibe-corner construction…
Blackbird Spyplane: It feels easier than ever these days to treat music as background noise, or just listen to a song on laptop speakers or sh*tty headphones, but with a Hi-fi system it’s the main event — you post up and let swirling chunes engulf you luxuriously. Tell us about your setup…
