The premiere of the DJ Clark Kent designed Air Force 1 ‘New Yorks’ was an official event. Shoelebrities filled the Nike Sportswear installation on Mercer Street. The even was so official that even Premium Pete and Combat Jack were in the building. DJ Clark Kent brings them out.
DJ Clark Kent is recognized in sneaker circles for being the greatest Air Force 1 collector the game has ever known. Clark might one day soon be considered the greatest Air Force 1 designer. From the 112 pack to the Black Friday design Clark has shown that he isn’t afraid of putting crazy materials on his shoe designs and it always works.
With the latest design DJ Clark Kent reins himself in to express his Empire State of mind. The colorway reflects the New York state orange and blue with a base of black leather that shouts out to his Brooklyn roots. The best part of the shoe release to me tho’ was the official box that Clark had the shoes placed in. These joints are definitely deadstock material.

sup dallas,
randomly noticed Cunninlynguists is playing NYC on Fri Dec 11 11:00 PM at Highline Ballroom
saw them live in my town, great show. CunninLynguists discography is excellent, 1 of the best discographies of this 00s decade, w/ 5 dope albums. Beats wise, it’s like OutKast 2.0. Dungeon Family influenced, but improved even better. Forgive me OutKast stans if my words here are blasphemous, just my $0.02. Kno is that dude on production, real talk no stannery.
Also CunninLynguists seems to have more stanlitas than mist underground hip hop. Eg more towards the Atmosphere side (many girl fans) than say an Immortal Technique/Wu side (100% white dudes, that look like Vinnie Paz, sausage fest [||]).
Yall NYCers will enjoy this show. I will enjoy it if yall mess around & end up with a blog post on said show.
If “I need more people”, reference Dart Adams’ similar biguppage of CunninLynguists on his blog.
EGC,
When did you get hired to spam for Cunnylinguists?
^^lol
lol, nah I just think yall in NYC might enjoy said show. My bad if this comment was spam-ish in ur view.
I’m not into AF1s but those are dope. The colorway would look even better on a Terminator, Dunk or an AM1 though but that’s just my opinion.
last time I “spammed” here on the greatness of Little Brother/Foreign Exchange, Dallas a few months later was writing a blog post on Foreign Exchange thanking me for said “spamming”.
Spam vs knowledgable recommendation – some Philosophy grad student go write your PhD on this topic
At least you aren’t taking payola from Little Brother
Clay Davis “shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid”
I was wondering what this was, like maybe somebody copped EGC’s name just go go in on Cunny, whom I can’t pretend an interest in but I’ll bear this in mind, especially with so many people hyping the dl & delete it quick Clipse.
re: Clark Kent, being an AF1 completist seems a weird hobby but he’s accomplished lots of other things so what the hell and when they hit $50 at VIM or AJ Wright (hah), I’ll go in.
Just saw this via Bol, Rolling Stone goes in on Barack Obama, The Banker’s Friend–

And we thought it was asinine when Barack plucked the venal Aldolfo Carrion out of the Bronx to be Urban Affairs director? (He’s doing a GREAT job, btw)–

As Treasury secretary under Clinton, Rubin was the driving force behind two monstrous deregulatory actions that would be primary causes of last year’s financial crisis: the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act (passed specifically to legalize the Citigroup megamerger) and the deregulation of the derivatives market. Having set that time bomb, Rubin left government to join Citi, which promptly expressed its gratitude by giving him $126 million in compensation over the next eight years (they don’t call it bribery in this country when they give you the money post factum). After urging management to amp up its risky investments in toxic vehicles, a strategy that very nearly destroyed the company, Rubin blamed Citi’s board for his screw-ups and complained that he had been underpaid to boot. “I bet there’s not a single year where I couldn’t have gone somewhere else and made more,” he said.
Despite being perhaps more responsible for last year’s crash than any other single living person — his colossally stupid decisions at both the highest levels of government and the management of a private financial superpower make him unique — Rubin was the man Barack Obama chose to build his White House around.
hahahaha Shoelebrities
i don’t really like the orange in it but three types of leather. that shit seems unreal in one pair of sneakers like i need to buy them just because of that.
Dallas, what the note on those? the Knicks SUCK, but i would cop and store until shit got good. Where can i find them and how much?
