i got 2 puuurrrr, i (really) got 2 puuuurrr.

By ?uestlove
Posted in cool stuff

never let it be said that dreams don’t come true.
4 years ago i watched BAPE/reebok shower Pharrell with
all these kicks on the Sprite Liquid Mix Tour in the summer
of 2004.

i said to my stylist “when am i gonna get enough clout to get such an honor?”

well kids.

there is many a milestone in my career, and i have to stay that this ish right here?

man oh man…

this is my FAVORITE part of my life.

my very own shoe.

i present the (h)Air ?uesto 1

this shoe was actually in the making about a year ago but i was so excited the first time around i included everything but the kitchen sink.

and it showed lol: 9 different skins, 13 colors. the shoe was literally mitched/matched (as are these but to a lesser extent)

i wanted something that screamed “!@#T!@#$#!@#$@#$@#~@$@#!!!!!” but left me a lil room to really go crazy for the other 4 down the line. (my cream de la creme is the 3rd shoe, i got a vision Doc Brown style Flux Capacitor style that im still perfecting and HOPEFULLY in two years they will find a way to come up with the material i need to make it work)

so in short (its late and im lucky that nike is letting me get away with this much)

the shoe comes out aug 1st.

i will promote the shoe by dj’n/partying at the following stores

aug1- i’ll be at ALIFE in NYC
aug5- i’ll be at UBIQ in philly
Aug 6th - i’ll be at Nike Sportswear presents: The Montalbán
1615 Vine Street
Hollywood, CA 90028
the twist is the shoes will be sealed.

why?

details later

much thanks to crazy rebecca, zenobia morrow, dj clark kent, shawn gee, jesse, dawn baxter, and the staff at nike for making dreams come true!

I guess I’m just a simplistic guy, because those things looks ugly to me. Really interested in the Willy Wonka thing, though.

They should do well at Christmas… the colors and all. The Elves at every department store will certainly be wearing them

Perhaps NIKE can cut a deal with MACY’S and Santa can wear them at the Thank’s Giving Day Parade… Ya’ know, THAT may not be a bad idea after all. YOU can be Santa Clause! Think about it. You would be the first Black Santa Clause at the MACY’S Thank’s Giving Day Parade! First Black President/First Black Santa!

Seriously, what do you think?

I honestly don’t like the design, but those weird ass, bright colours seem to the new trend. Tone it down and I’d look at getting a pair it the price is decent.

But all that aside congrats on the endorsement, and the logo on the back of the shoe looks nice. All the best ?uestlove

Although technically I am more a lightweight than a real sneakerhead, I am digging on the complete outlandishness of your sneaks, Questo. Pimpin’ IS easy. Nike’s have never fit my feet right (high arch & in between sizes), but I’ma try to rock em anyway. Everything you touch is gold, man. Peace.

I have mad respect for ?uesto…

I’m not hatin’ on the design either…

But Amir, please answer this for me…

$225 for sneakers?! By Nike?! In Philly, where there’s so much poverty right now?!

I truly hope I have missed something, and that most of the profits are finding their way to charity

I’m happy you got your sneaker, brother….but I am disappointed
