"Name: Victor Rasuk\r\nOccupation: Actor\r\nJust for kicks: The Harlem native -- who stars on How to Make It In America -- has a sneaker obsession that has grown as steadily as his stardom. &amp;quot;My shoe collection went from being okay to gangsta since I joined the show,&amp;quot; Rasuk says of the HBO hit, which returns this October. His favorite pair? &amp;quot;My number 3 Jordans are the most magical shoes ever. Back in the day, there was a dunk contest and Michael Jordan jumped from the free throw line with those shoes on. I&amp;apos;m still kind of under the spell of that time when I was 10 and I watched Michael Jordan jump or leap or fly.&amp;quot;\r\nGirl power: Rasuk calls his signature style &amp;quot;contemporary, ghetto elegant, yet fabulous,&amp;quot; but he didn&amp;apos;t always have control over his clothing. &amp;quot;When I was younger, I always had a lot of women in my life -- cousins, aunts, my mom. For a long time, they would piece my outfits together, like &amp;apos;the girls will like this, you should wear this. Put this on.&amp;apos; When I got old enough I said &amp;apos;you don&amp;apos;t have to dress me anymore!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; These days, the actor is &amp;quot;a T-shirt and jeans kind of guy&amp;quot; who favors APC, Armani and Kenneth Cole.\r\nDapper dudes: &amp;quot;I love Benicio del Toro&amp;apos;s style. I love how he&amp;apos;ll come out one day and look like he&amp;apos;s homeless, then he&amp;apos;ll put on something and clean up. You can tell the dude knows how to dress,&amp;quot; says Rasuk, who&amp;apos;s also inspired by the threads of Cary Grant and fellow honoree Pharrell Williams. My style is not consistent -- it depends how I feel.\r\nQUOTE: &amp;quot;I always wear a NY Yankees cap. I go through one every six months. I&amp;apos;m probably on my third month now.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
