Nike Air Flight Huarache

Jim Steps

Nike Basketball’s releases over the past 20 years represent the definition and redefinition of the hoops shoe. A 20-year work-in-progress. In 1992, the Nike Air Flight Huarache was born. “If the shoe fits in with other things that are going on culturally, you get a perfect storm.” – Tinker Hatfield The Nike Air Flight Huarache’s aesthetic swagger was in what it stripped away. A swoosh? No need for one — it’s not like this shoe could have been made by any other brand. That Dynamic Fit, exoskeleton, leather and neoprene combined to make this one of the purest expressions of … Continue reading Nike Air Flight Huarache

aahh Radio Season 2 Episode 6 Geko

Jim Steps

Enigmatic Geko AKA Phil Gektor makes up one sixth of formidable Melbourne label Crate Cartel. His new album, titled Real Heads Don’t Listen, is out May 30 2014. Entirely self-produced, Geko has poured his contrarian genius into the album, ensuring every detail has purpose. Consistent with his previous work, Real Heads Don’t Listen further explores Geko’s underground ethos and his satirical take on mainstream society and commercialisation. Using samples as his muse, Geko’s production and lyrical themes evolve organically. The album’s overall gritty, trippy feel resembles its creator’s cynical obscurity. Though dark, and sometimes confronting, Geko’s music is a brilliant … Continue reading aahh Radio Season 2 Episode 6 Geko

Hip Hop Artists Call For A Boycott Of Israel

Jim Steps

Don Martin feat. Immortal Technique (US), Eltipo Este (Cuba), Tumi (South Africa) and Tonto Noiza (France) have combined with Producer Tommy Tee to release a hard hitting track titled Boikott Israel. The track is primarily Don Martin, one-third of the Norwegian hip-hop group Gatas Parlament, who for twenty-plus years have been something comparable to Norway’s version of Public Enemy. It also features what can reasonably be called a global consortium of militant hip-hop notables: well-known Peruvian-American rapper Immortal Technique, El Tipo Este of Cuban duo Obsesion, Parisian rapper Tonto Noiza, and Jonnesburg-based Tumi Molekane. As if to drive the globalism … Continue reading Hip Hop Artists Call For A Boycott Of Israel
