POPSUGAR: Which shoes are your go-tos for breakdancing?
Logan Edra: I love the Nike Cortez. I’ve worn those for so many years in my breaking, dancing, and training. I’ve dabbled into other shoes, but for me, it needs to be flexible and durable, and those are the best for me.
PS: Who are your style icons?
LE: I would say Aaliyah, even TLC, Lauryn Hill. I love Japanese fashion, too. But I like ’90s fashion and just hip-hop of course. I love the baggy fit. But I also like mixing them with the cropped fit, like baggy pants with tight crops is a fit with the big hoops.
PS: What’s it like breakdancing while wearing hoop earrings?
LE: Yeah, a long time ago, I had my fair share of earrings flying off. So now I know what earrings I can wear and can’t wear. For me, it can’t be bigger than a medium to small-sized hoop — as long as it’s smaller than that, then I’m good.
PS: Is there a color you especially love to wear when you’re dancing?
LE: Purple, because it represents the higher chakras. That’s one of the reasons why I love representing purple. And it’s always been me and my mom’s color that connects us both. That color is very special to us. Also it’s funny, because my first BC One that I got invited to, I had planned two outfits. One of the outfits I didn’t get to wear was dedicated to one of my crew mates that passed away. His color was purple, and I wanted to dedicate that to him. And this year, I didn’t even remember that his color was purple, but I just started wearing purple. I dyed my hair purple. Now I’m like, well, maybe this is the year I actually get to dedicate this to him with the color I’m wearing.
