John Mayer and Jerry Lorenzo have collaborated with Nike for the new Nike Air Fear of God Collection. The two sat down with Complex's Joe La Puma to talk about the collection and couple of other topics as well.
One being Johns sobriety. He has been sober for two year and talks about the one time that made him stop! And you guessed it, it was all because of Drake's 30th Birthday!

"It was Drake's 30th birthday party, and I made quite a fool of myself," John explains to Jerry Lorenzo, designer of Nike Air Fear of God collection, and Joe La Puma in an interview for Complex. "It took me weeks to stop doing this every morning I woke up."
Then, six days after what he describes as the "most amazing last-night-of-my-life-drinking," he still felt the remnants of a hangover. "That's how big the hangover was. I looked out the window and I went, 'OK, John, what percentage of your potential would you like to have? Because if you say you'd like 60, and you'd like to spend the other 40 having fun, that's fine. But what percentage of what is available to you would you like to make happen? There's no wrong answer. What is it?' I went, '100.'"
And from that day on he stopped drinking. Instead of spending his days drinking or recuperating from a nasty hangover, he went on "four tours, I was in two bands, I was happy on airplanes." Not that it was all sunshine and daisies from the get go. At first, he admits it was "boring" since there were no longer these "high highs," but bit by bit things got better. Now, he says, "Every morning I wake up and go: 'I get another one of these [days].'"
