Nike x Starks Air Force 1 Supreme All Star Tier Zero


Nike x Starks Air Force 1 Supreme All Star Tier Zero

If you’re trying to stunt in Phoenix this weekend, these Air Force Ones are a good start. A double collabo between Starks Laces, and DJ Clark Kent, these Tier Zero Supreme Air Force 1s just hit boutiques like UNDFTD in L.A., and 21 Mercer Street in NYC. Starks handled most of the design, including the premium laces on the sneakers (3M), as well as the metal anglets, and DJ Clark Kent came in on advising the All Star Weekend friendly colorway. If you’ve ever been you know that place is a shit show filled with gold teeth, crazy colored suits, and 4xl tees. Out of the two smu’s that dropped today these are the more limited sneakers, so get on it. Score a pair and score some Phoenix groupie love, we promise. $150+…nikesportswear.com

‘Lil Penny rocks NY to hype ‘09 Nike releases


‘Lil Penny at Santos’ Party House, via Va$htie

Nike Basketball is going hard in ‘09, re-releasing the Eggplant Foamposites, and soon a series of Penny Hardaway re-issues and hybrids to get hoops fans fired up. While everyone is nostalgic for Penny, do they really want to shell out over $100 for the kicks? That’s for the Nike marketing machine to help you figure out. First we saw them seeding these Nike 1/2 Cent (Penny)s, and now a series of ‘Lil Penny sightings has hit the net. Don’t remember the little guy? ‘Lil Penny was Anfernee Hardaway’s alter ego (voiced by Chris Rock) who appeared in several commercials, game intros, and even rap videos in the mid to late ’90s.

‘Lil Penny has been seen courtside at the Knicks vs. Boston showdown, partying his ass off at Santos’, and setting up some Bespoke Air Force 1s at 21 Mercer Street in New York. Is this enough to get you to buy the 1/2 Cents (coming in the next couple of weeks), the Penny II LE’s (third from bottom, coming soon), or the Penny IIIs (out now)? Up to you. Hit the jump to see ‘Lil Penny the mack’s great moments from this past weekend, and some of the videos that made him famous in the ’90s.
