THE MAKING OF AIR YEEZYS
Kanye West: MC, Producer, Hypebeast: I’ve always stressed my passion for design—and not just, “Oh, let me throw my name on this,” but to use my celebrity as an opportunity to jump into the design world—and in this case, to design my own shoe.
Mark Smith: Creative Dir. of Special Projects, Nike: I don’t really put my life in dates in a normal way. [Laughs.] So I couldn’t even say when everything went down, but one day I got a call asking me if I would work with Kanye on the project.
Kanye West: It was after the Air Force 1 “1 Night Only” event [in December 2006]. I sat there and drew countless forms of shoes, and a lot of them were inspired by Back to the Future, by the McFlys or whatever people call them—I just call them the Mags. All kinds of different ideas that stemmed from that and Robotech and all my other anime influences.
Mark Smith: What we wanted to do was really create something that was specific and unique to the two of us working together, so it wasn’t an entourage full of people on either side.
Kanye West: Nike is the No. 1 sneaker lifestyle brand, right? And I’m the No. 1 most influential cutural pop art brand: scarves, beards, plastic glasses, whatever. So you take those two things and you mesh that—it’s very exciting. I’m the Nike of culture.
Mark Smith: He showed me what he was into. I asked him about sneakers that he liked, what he was wearing and why he was wearing them; he’s very up to the minute on what he likes.
Kanye West: I grabbed all these Jordans from their archives, and I’m sitting in the office next to Tinker [Hatfield, Jordan designer] and Mark, just pulling out shit and putting it in front of him like, “I like this element.” We just vibed it out.

DRU YORKIAN INTERVIEWS VA'S OWN SUBURBAN DISTRICT
Dru Yorkian is my boy's blog and he just did an exclusive interview with VA's artists that go by the name of Suburban District and it's pretty interesting. So, hi haters he's back off hiatus and I don't blame y'all cuz if I was you, I'd hate us. Peep the interview.
Since Google or some other negative minded "folks" might not think I give credit to wherever I get my posts from or that I don't have original material on my blog, here is an interview I did with up-and-coming Virginia Hiphop/Rock/Alternative group Suburban District. These boys have been showing me support through my Karmaloop affiliation so it's only right I return the favor. Not to mention that their music is my kind of taste:
ME: How did the three members of Suburban District meet? How long have you guys known each other? How long have you been a group?
"Fair and Octavion met through a mutual friend and they've known each other for several years. I met Fair early '07. We were actually co-workers at Texas Roadhouse, plug. We shared a common passion for creating Hip-Hop music. He introduced me to Octavion later that year and as they say the rest was history. However, we've only been a group for a couple months. We been on our solo shit for a while". -Tim Porter
ME: How would you classify your sound? Rap/Rock/Techno? Which artist or group would you say you sound like or have been compared to?
"Honestly we are all of what you just used for examples. You definitely have to add, Hip Hop & Electro. We have a really really random style. Thats whats soo awesome about us. The artist you can compare is kind of NERD, Lady GAGA, Kayne, Kid Cud, Johnny Polygon kind of feel." - Octavion Xcellence
Shout outs to my dude for doing the interview, we moving and the only way is up. If you want pricelesscreativity and dru yorkian to break your music and your clothes, whatever's clever, hit us up. To read the rest of the interview, go to Druyorkian
