Parra x Nike Air Max 1



For later this year, Nike worked with Dutch artist Parra on a collaborative Air Max 1. The sneaker comes with an all black upper with interesting use of different premium materials. The mid-sole is speckled in the artist’s trademark colors and the in-soles carry his art. Accents on the sneakers upper are set in turquoise. Even the stitching comes in the artists colors, which is a very nice detail, on the otherwise very subtle looking shoe. Via mashKULTURE.

Well, Clark blessed a guy by the name of Gatsby with a FREE pair of black Air Yeezy’s at Sneaker Pimps Los Angeles. Oh, so you don’t believe me? Check out the video and see for yourself.
