the shoes I love

I’m a sneaker freaker. I love sport shoes like…hell, I just love them! Nike is my favourite, along with some major skate brands.
But Nike is making art out of a sport shoe! In today’s presentation@Idea Forum, Russell Davies was telling us about the success story on Nike Air Force One shoes. They did no advertising (perhaps in the first years when it was just a sports shoe). As the hip hop culture embraced the Nike Air Force Ones, it was a hit.
As I was showing you in the post about Nike1Love from Japan, here is a model in preview from High Snobiety. They don’t know yet if it is going be out on the market but I’m so inlooove!

Also, because YouTube is da bomb, here are some movies about Air Force One and how this shoe became an icon for hip hop. Word!

PS: for all sneaker freakers, Bobbito Garcia he’s a “shoe connaisseur”, a DJ, a ball player and writer from NY. So, go to YouTube and check the clips from his show on ESPN – It’s the Shoes! Also, some other interesting stuff about him but also focusing on what hip hop culture is!
