Although there was some uncertainty regarding an actual release of his project with Nike, DJ AM’s Dunk Hi is now seen in its entirety, although unfortunately it comes after the famed DJ’s tragic and untimely passing. The shoes themselves remain quite simple, playing off a theme of patent leather and premium leather along with 3M perforated heel detailing amongst a black/red/grey color scheme. Rounding off the design is a tribute DJ AM logo placed on the tongue. Rumors have it that there should be another sneaker from the set due to drop although no further information has been released. For those interested, they are now available through Korean retailer Kasina, with a US release sure to come.

If you don’t know already, I have a serious sunglass fetish. And this collection from Italian eyewear company Super is looking very official. I will be looking out for these next season. All the colorways are cool, but I’m diggin’ the clear gold and black ones…dope.

I swear I thought this was Dani Pedrosa’s actual racebike here. I assumed this is what a normal sized person would like on his bike.

Ronnie Fieg x Polo Ralph Lauren Cookie Boots

Posted by Adey | Posted on 24-11-2009

I get it…PRL wants to rekindle the spark they had on the youth market back in the day(90’s). But this is a weak ploy. I had a pair of tan RL Cookie boots back in the day. And these don’t look anything like them. I’ve seen knockoffs being sold in downtown Brooklyn that look better than these. They didn’t even get the original seal for the cookie! I’m over it…check the pics in this weak photo shoot. I’m so pissed right now.
