Nike joined forces with Jay Z to create these uber-exclusive All Black Everything Nike Air Force Ones. From the looks of it, it contains standard black leather with black safari print on the sides. The tongue tag has HOV under the Nike Swoosh and the in sole has custom graphics on it. Looks smooth. They will be auctioned off on behalf of the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and Ebay to raise money to provide financial assistance for individuals to attend learning institutions. Only two pairs of each of the five designs will be created, one for the winning bidder and one for the man behind the design, JAY-Z. The charity auction begins on August 12, at 9:00 a.m. EDT and ends on August 22, at 9:00 a.m. EDT.
In addition to these sneakers, Jay Z will take the Radio City Music Hall stage to perform a one of a kind concert to initiate the inaugural 2010 World Basketball Festival. The performance will be streaming live on http://www.facebook.com/wbf at 6:30pm. This is going to be a good one. [via]
Yeh so apparently some sneaker called the Nike Air Max 90 Infrared is re-releasing on the 24th or something like that. All i know is that if you don’t know much about sneakers, model Justene Jaro will make you want to buy them. Primitive did a kick and chick photoshoot/slash video trailer for the release of the iconic/sexy sneaker. Happy Wednesday and you’re welcome. [via]
These Grey and Orange Nike Sportswear ’10 Air Max 1s got me so excited when I seen these. I just bought a pair yesterday and I will be on the hunt for these too. Right now it’s only available at Premier. **UPADTE** – Kicks just arrived at 21 Mercer Nike Sportswear in Soho
The first version of the Poorman Weapon Converse dropped in in 2009 while I was in LA at Undefeated. I wanted them so bad. These new 2010 versions are redone with extended flap lined in deerskin and Bodega stitched into the front. It will be housed in a shearling lined collectors case and completed with a flask. WIN. These are going to be limited to only 100 pairs and will only be available at Bodega out in Boston. Good luck.. [via]
