Now that’s what I’m talking about! No sooner had I created the challenge then the first blows have been struck. It is about to go down up in this piece as we get all hype williams[ll] for the grand opening of the NIKE iD Design Studio inside of NIKETOWN NYC.

NIKETOWN
6 East 57th Street, NYC

Saturday 10-20-2007
12:00pm – 1:00pm
Doors crack @ 10:00am

NIKE iD has been the move for me ever since I visited their installation in lower Manhattan. It’s all about creating a shoe for yourself that is as fresh and unique as you are. You would be a maniac to have as many sneakers as I do, but if you are going to have only one pair it should be the pair that represents your steez to the fullest.

My main nigga on the trigger (no T.I.) 40 DIESEL is going in hard with these designs he sends us. From the top to the bottom, 40 DIESEL keeps it realer than most. So when you see a six foot seven offensive lineman rocking a Mighty Healthy fitted and sporting a pair of NIKE iD Air Force 1’s holler at your bulldog.

Olde Gold Air Max ’97

Taking the 97 shoe and shaving 10 years off of it with the colorway. A homage to my favorite hood elixir. Deep Red pearlized panels with gold 3M and metallic gold accents interplays as the beer and the label of the Old English. The dark cinder lining represents for the brown
bag which provides the buffer between the beer and your hand. Now it’s been flipped to the inside to represent the buffer between your feet and the shoe. Topped off with white laces, swoosh and personalization for the white font of the label and the foamy head[ll] of this fine malt beverage.

Remy Martin VSOP Air Max ’97

Decked out in snake skin appointments this model was inspired by the satin finished Remy Martin VSOP bottle considered the entry point for fine cognac. Once again using the Gold 3M highlights and in the airbag lends itself to the gold leaf of the Remy label. Using the appropriately titled cognac colorway I have filled out the rest of the shoe, playing the contents of the bottle against the actual vessel itself.

And lastly, the shoes were ID’ed with the VSOP designation and the year 1724 in accordance with the foundation and standards of The House of Remy Martin.
