Classic'Morrow Fly Feature #1 - Tre Bitton-Price

Tre Bitton-Price known to his friends as Treezy, was originally born in Orlando but moved to Leeds, U.K at the age of 10. His favourite NBA player is Derrick Rose, his fashion icon is Pharrell Williams and his favourite music artists are Bow Wow and Chris Brown. He claims that he started playing basketball at the age of 2. Now at the age of 15 he has quite a flashy resume, he currently leads the league in points and assist for his Leeds Carnegie under16 team, represented Yorkshire, made the England development and had this season a 44 point game where he scored 12 threes which also got a mention on hoopsfix.com. And to add, at only 5ft 6inches is able to dunk.




Tre and his friend have set up there own business of selling clothes (mainly on ebay, check out their shop http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/ajslindsay). They sell a variety of brands including Bape, Billionaire Boys Club, Louis Vuitton, MCM, Lanvin and other high end brands. At present their selling total stands at 1000 items.

In an interview I asked Tre about what him and his friend are doing and this is what he said
"Its hard to describe because we dont have a stock list, we just buy, sell and trade to and from all over ebay but mostly the USA. We manage to get a lot of snapbacks and have started getting some G Shock watches, Pow Chains and other accessories like that. It is hard to find a lot of people that do what we do and at are age"


Tre is currently at high school focusing on B-Tech Sport and GCSE P.E. When he finishes he hopes to go to college in the states and play ball but if not he would like to work in the fashion industry due to his passion for design and is currently working on his own clothing line called "Cour De Gold Clothing" Tre is also apart of the "Vintage Youth Movement" which is something he is doing with his friends in America.

This is what he had to say about it.
"Well its inspired by TI$A and just something that the youth culture now can relate to, we feel that people are all wearing the same thing as everyone else but at VYM we strive to be different and bring our own unique touch to the world of fashion." 





I feel that Tre is a very charismatic young man with a very prosperous future ahead of him.
Best of luck from me and the rest of Classic'Morrow
