1986 was a good year!!!

I came across this pic of one of my boys this weekend and had to post it. I was informed that this pic was taken in 1986. Janet Jackson had released her chart topping album Control, Tom Cruise lit up the big screen with Top Gun and Michael Jordan started what would be a string of scoring titles and was influential in something that would forever change the shoe game. Peter Moore crafted the Air Jordan I for Nike and along with it ushered in the culture of hip hop fashion into basketball. This shoe single handedly made Nike the juggernaut that it is today. Many don't know, but MJ was fined $5,000 every time he wore the very shoe that my man has on in this picture (Red/Black colorway) due to violating NBA uniform rules that prohibited vibrant shoe colors. MJ and Nike paid the price for the culture and they where rewarded for it. The Air Jordan is the biggest selling basketball shoe in history. You see, my man and his homie in the pic below where what we called "Fresh". No matter what else they had on that day, they had on a pair of J's and until this day a "Fresh pair of J's" will put you in the game. (Pun intended)

I bet this is a cool place to work!

Dutch artist Darrin Umboh designed an elevator interior for Antwerp-based advertising company DuboisMeetsFugger that's anything but boring.

Nike Sportswear Air Zoom Toki ND

These are pretty cool. Looks like Nike has taken a que from Vans created a very minimalistic skating shoe. For true skaters this shoe will definitely be more popular than the Blazer but the SB is still the end all be all. 

Sade "Soldier of Love" (Official Video)

Aside from the poorly choreographed, fake S1W's, this video is okay. I would've expected something a little more epic for a song this powerful, but it will suffice. I guess being force fed the crap that labels are pawning off as artistry had me expecting way more from an artist of this caliber.
