Clark’s definitely one of most respected sneakerheads in Hip-Hop…
“Super-producer. ATF General. God’s Favorite DJ. The aliases go on and on, but one thing is for certain: Everyone knows that DJ Clark Kent knows the sneaker game. Whether it’s getting sneakers early, or having his hand in design for Nike special make-ups, he’s a force to be reckoned with. Clark has already given us his Top 50 Air Force 1s of All-Time, but we had to hit DJCK up to see what sneakers of 2010 he was feeling most. Check out his list by clicking below…” -Complex
New York’s most lavish summer time destination is being immortalized in sneaker form.
“Featuring an all-white leather construction, these new Uptowns add a special tongue tag in addition to the translucent outsoles that reveal an outline of the area’s map.

This SB Dunk High has quite a controversial inspiration behind it, and the fact that the sneaker was released today on 4/20, only builds the hype. Nonetheless, this pair yields a tonal green upper with purple accents seen on the swoosh, tongue tag, and outsole. The Nike SB Dunk High “Skunk” is a quickstrike release and available at select Nike SB retailers. - SF (More images after the jump)
“His existence in this lifetime was just a flicker. Still, his works, his friendship, and his aspiration continue to reverberate till these days. In taking inspiration from one of his many Untitled installations, in this case Suite of Fourteen Drawings, Reebok released its latest Jean-Michel Basquiat collaboration. To feature a few Reebok staples, including the Omni Pump Lite, the collection is a combination of perforated leather, fabric and gum rubber sole. Segments are allocated to accommodate parts of Suite of Fourteen Drawings, all quite subtle. The Jean-Michel Basquiat x Reebok Omni Pump Lite is now available at select Reebok retailers, including Styles of ZOZO shopping network.” - Poe/Freshness
While we don’t normally post new footwear on here, these were just too dope to pass up. Good job 10 Deep!
“10.Deep is kicking off a year of collaborative design projects in honor of its 15th Anniversary this month with Timberland. Nicknamed “The Mighty Ducks”, the project is a significant one as it is the brand’s first footwear collaboration.
Although Scott Sasso (10.Deep’s Founder and leader) was initially intimidated at the thought of applying his design eye to something as classic as Timberland’s core product offerings, any reticence quickly gave way to creative excitement. “Having access to working with what has been established as classic, quality product was a great way to launch our first footwear project”, he continues. The result is a co-branded boot that is colored and pieced together as an homage to the perennial Duck Boot.
Markedly premium product, by nature, The Mighty Ducks will only be available in 10.Deep’s top tier of distribution (including The Reed Space, Union LA and Commonwealth) on Tuesday, April 6th, as well as at www.10deep.com Friday, April 2nd at 1pm Brooklyn time.” - 10Deep
Warp has come through with some sample images of what is being rumored as the first set of the Air Jordan 25th Silver Anniversary releases. Nike is commemorating tha famed sneaker that has yet to be matched by any other brand. The pack will include the Air Jordan III, Air Jordan IV, the Air Jordan IX and the Air Jordan XI. You can find more information on the sneakers’ release at Jumpman23.
“When we got a look at a sample pair of these Nike Air Max 1s, they just looked like a nice colourway for warm weather. Turns out that they’re the first in what we expect to be a long line of World Cup related kicks. These AM1s aren’t explicitly soccer-oriented, but the orange and white palette is sure to have you picturing the Dutch football kits. You probably won’t be able to wait until July to wear them, so why wait to cop? They’re available today at Canada’s Livestock.” - via SneakersNews

“Introducing a new element to the Spiz’ike capsule, perforated leather on the vamp and upper create a new feel for the silhouette.  Though nicknamed “Grapes,†the colors don’t necessarily make a direct cue to the original form of the name.  Nonetheless, a dope pair.  Not set out to drop for a while, MarqueeSole has a few pairs available so act fast!” - via Sneakernews
