Nike X Questlove

THE BRIGHT YELLOW AND RED LEATHER DUNKS BEAR A UNIQUE LOOK THAT IS ARGUABLY THE FIRST OF ITS KIND. INSPIRED BY MID 80’S ERA AMERICAN TELEVISION, ?UESTLOVE DRAWS FROM THE FAVORITE SITCOMS OF HIS YOUTH AND INTERPRETS THEIR STORY LINES THROUGH DESIGN. HINTING TO AN EPISODE THAT IS FOREVER ETCHED IN ?UESTLOVE’S MIND, A CHARACTER IS PRESENTED WITH THE FAMILIAR CONFLICT OF IMPRESSING A GIRL WITH STYLE, BUT THE OUTCOME GOES HORRIBLY AWRY. THE CHARACTER PLEADS FOR AN EXPENSIVE SHIRT FROM HIS PARENTS, BUT WHEN HE IS DENIED, A SIBLING OFFERS TO MAKE A REPLICA THAT IS IN THE END FAR FROM PERFECT. THE NIKE DUNK X ?UESTLOVE MIRRORS THAT SCENARIO, ONE IS PERFECT, AND THE OTHER IS, TO SAY THE LEAST, A BIT OFF KILTER. THE RED PAIR IS FASHIONED TO PERFECTION USING PREMIUM LEATHER COMPLETE WITH AN OVERLAY TRIMMED WITH WHITE BUTTONS THAT CONCEALS THE LACES. THE YELLOW PAIR IS THE TRADITIONAL NIKE DUNK WITH A TWIST – THE SWOOSH SHAPE IS ONE THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY FIND ON A NIKE BLAZER. FINISHING DETAILS INCLUDE THE EMBLEM OF ITS MAKER, AND THE SILHOUETTE OF ?UESTLOVE HIMSELF.


Sweatshop Union – ‘The Bill Murray’ (EP)

Released on Urbnet Records The Bill Murray EP features guest appearances from D-Sisive and production from Sweatshop and Rob The Viking. Hands down the Billest.


JUS REMEMBERIN’ STUFF – Cee-Rock “The Fury”
