FOUNDER

Introducing "Moonwalker" – a brand born from the relentless determination and unwavering spirit of Tavier "Tay" Lugo-Flowers. Just like Tay's journey, Moonwalker embodies the spirit of pushing through life's challenges and reaching for the stars. With a foundation in hard work, resilience, and faith, Moonwalker's designs are a testament to breaking through limits and embracing your true potential. Join us on this cosmic journey, where the sky is not the limit; it's just the beginning.

 
HOW IT STARTED?

Moonwalker is inspired by Paul Brandt’s quote “Don’t tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon”. Neil Armstrong, born in Wapakoneta, Ohio (1hr and 48 min from Cincinnati, Ohio where Moonwalker was founded). Neil Armstrong, the first ever to American astronaut to walk on the Moon in 1969 is a real Moonwalker. He broke those limits off and did something nobody in the world has ever done or maybe even imagined to do. He left a mark on everybody in the world after dying in Cincinnati, Ohio on August 25, 2012.

 

Mr. Moonwalker himself, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson was the 8th child of the Jackson family. He was also the star of the Jackson 5 only being 5 years old when the group was formed. Missing out on his childhood due to the fame and grind, he worked his way up to become a solo artist in 1979 with his album, Off the Wall. Michael was an icon and arguably the greatest artist of all time. He broke the limits off at the age of 5 and kept working with the talent he was blessed with. He had a purpose and pursued it, taking all the limits off in his career.

 

Kobe Bryant, A five-time NBA champion, two-time NBA Finals MVP, two-time Olympic gold medalist, 18-time NBA All-Star, 11-time NBA All-NBA First Team and nine-time All-NBA Defensive First Team player lead the laundry lists of accomplishments through Kobe's career (oh, and an Oscar). What made Kobe a Moonwalker was His unmatched work ethic, dedication, and passion for the game. Kobe is a true icon, and his story and Kobe Bryant's quotes are an inspiration to people all over the world. Kobe Bryant's success is not limited to just his on-court accomplishments. He has also been extremely successful off the court. He lived by the mamba mentality, a mentality of a Moonwalker he was spreading to the world. Kobe is a Moonwalker because the limits he broke off his life to inspire the next life.

 

Tom Brady, arguably the greatest QB of all time. His longevity led to him setting several age records in the NFL. Brady is the NFL's oldest quarterback to be named to the Pro Bowl (age 44), be named Super Bowl MVP (age 43), win a Super Bowl as the starting quarterback (age 43), and be named league MVP (age 40). He has the Michael Jordan in him who is another Moonwalker and arguably the greatest basketball player of all time. He has that will to win and that will to be the best. Even though he might not have the best arm or the best mobility, he's still really good at both of those things and moving within the pocket and arm strength. And then his will to bring his teammates along is special. And his will to be great and be the best is special. Tom wasn’t a high draft pick either being picked up by the patriots in the 6th round with the 199th pick. He was doubted, overlooked, and not respected as the other quarterbacks. He was the underdog coming in and proved that he was the best. Brady had a chip on his shoulder and limits that he broke in order to reach the levels that he reached in the NFL. The way Brady played the game, the way he gives back and the way he thinks, that’s a Moonwalker.

 

The greatest Moonwalker of all: Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

1. He has blessed us (Ephesians 1:3).

Father God has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm. This means that, in Christ, we have received all the benefits of a relationship with Him. We have: been chosen as His; received His salvation; been adopted as His children; been forgiven; received insight into the things of the Spirit; received the power to serve God and do His will; received the gifts of the Spirit; and the hope of living forever with Him. We can enjoy these blessings now, because we have an intimate relationship with Him. Spiritual blessings in the “heavenly realms”, means that these blessings are eternal, not temporal.
 
2. He has chosen us (Ephesians 1:4).

Father God “chose us in him” to emphasize that salvation depends totally on Him and not us. We are not saved because our works deserve it, but because of God’s free and gracious salvation. We could not and did not influence God’s decision to save us, but He saved us according to His own plan. We can’t take the credit – all we can do is express our gratefulness and thanks for His wonderful love for us.

3. He has predestined us (Ephesians 1:5 & 11).

“Predestined” means “marked out beforehand”, and is another way of saying that salvation is all God’s work and none our own doing. In His infinite love, and through Jesus’ sacrifice, God has brought us into His family, adopted us His own children and made us heirs along with Jesus. Under the law at that time, adopted children had the exact same rights as biological children, even if they were previously slaves.
 
4. He has made us accepted (Ephesians 1:6).

Father God freely and graciously accepts us even if we don’t deserve it. Not only that, He loves us as much as He loves Jesus (John 17:23).
    
5. He has redeemed us (Ephesians 1:7).

Jesus blood’ represents Jesus’ death. Through His death and the riches and generosity of His gracious favor, He paid the price for us to receive both redemption and forgiveness. Redemption was the price paid to gain freedom for a slave. We are released from our slavery to sin and brought into the freedom of forgiveness and right-standing with God.

6. He has abounded toward us (Ephesians 1:8).

God’s grace has been LAVISHED on us. We have received a generous, over-abundance of God’s love, grace and favor!

7. He has made known unto us (Ephesians 1:9).

In His love and mercy, Father God planned to save and redeem us from the foundation of the earth. His plan of salvation was consummated in Jesus Christ and could only be fully understood by us after Jesus rose from the dead. When you receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, through God’s word, the Holy Spirit reveals to you the Father’s plan for you.

8. He has given us an inheritance (Ephesians 1:11,14).

An inheritance is something you don’t earn. It’s bestowed upon you at the discretion of another. We have inherited the Kingdom of God and all of God’s wonderful promises and blessings with it!
 
9. He has sealed us (Ephesians 1:13).

The Holy Spirit is the seal and also the “earnest” or “pledge” of our inheritance. The word “seal” means: to stamp (with a signet or private mark) for security or preservation (literally or figuratively); to keep secret; to attest. We use the word “seal” to denote several things: we seal things for security, to hide them, to confirm or testify to something, and to confirm ownership. We are sealed by the blessed Holy Spirit! The word “earnest” or “pledge” is used to indicate part of the purchase-money or property given in advance as security for the rest. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee – the “earnest” or “pledge” – of our glorious inheritance!

 

Jesus, the one who gave his life for us broke the limits off for us to live an abundant life. Again, he loves us so much that he sacrificed and gave his own life for our sins and peace. God is the true definition of a Moonwalker.

 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A MOONWALKER?

To be a Moonwalker means to live limitless. Don’t let people tell you the sky’s the limit because it’s not, you have none. The only limit you have is your head and you can’t let that take control of your life. You have to tell yourself you can and will do it. You have a purpose to fulfill and dreams to turn into reality. Break the limits off your finances, off your relationships, off your personal goals and so much more. Break the limits off your life. How do you want to be remembered? Don’t let the limits lead to regrets. We are Moonwalkers!
