Espinosa’s vast collection allows him to create seasonal shoe cycles that work with the rest of his clothing. “At any point I can put on the Clarks [Wallabees] that are a little bit more dressy or I could put on the Jordan 1 sneakers or the Jordan 3 sneakers or the Sambas and they’ll all go together with the outfit,” Espinosa said.](https://laduepublications.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Hsiao_20240313_EspinosaShoes_21-799x1200.jpg)

"[There were many things going through my head]," Hill said. "First of all, be gentle. When bees swarm, they are docile. Second, make sure to get the queen in the box, because all of the bees will follow her. Third, oh my god, half the school is watching, so do not do something stupid."](https://laduepublications.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Hsiao_20240401_HillBees_06_RS-1200x800.jpg)
