New Nikes

It's been a very long time since I've felt the urge to purchase any Swoosh-related footwear but then all of a sudden two pairs caught my eye.

First up is the Magma AC Quickstrike. This ACG hiking style boot features a gum medium brown premium leather upper sitting nicely upon a black vulcanised 'blazer like' sole, leather lining, mesh tongue and red laces.

Next up is the DJ AM Tribute Dunk Hi featuring premium leather & patent uppers. A really nice touch is the leather tongue & tongue label featuring the DJ AM logo. Definitely a fitting tribute to the DJ/Sneakerhead who died prematurely last year.

DJ AM R.I.P

I've just returned from holiday to hear the sad news that DJ AM aka Adam Goldstein passed away on Friday 28th August 2009. Adam was a pioneering DJ cutting up House, Hip Hop, Rock, Indie & 80s styles & a big influence. He was also a big time sneaker head & was about to launch his own Dunk Hi for Nike (in his own words "a dream come true").
