AF1 x Barkleys


Nike continues their celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Air Force 1 with a collection of sneakers commemorating Charles Barkley. We have already showed you a few out of the collection, here now some more. Force revolutionized the game of basketball in the 1980s. With a unique style of play and merciless determination, one player broke all the rules and redefined the game’s attitude. He was the physical embodiment of Force. Charles Barkley’s strength, size and tenacity made him not only a great rebounder but one of the most versatile player in the League. Known for his controversial, irreverent and unpredictable basketball skills, the ‘Round Mound of Rebound’ quickly left his footprint as the most dominant Power Forward in the history of the NBA . Barkley was the anti-hero who brought attitude to the game. Athlete turned superstar, he played without mercy, fighting for every ball and wearing his attitude on his sleeve. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of an iconic shoe, A F1 recognizes the role of a basketball icon that became the most influential face of Force. Following his debut in Alabama, through his professional career and his Olympic successes, the Barkley series of Air Force 1s tell the story of the evolution of Force in its truest essence. This set consists of two AF1's - one Air Force 1 Supreme and one Air Force 1 Supreme Max. They come in premium leathers and with a bit a different design, while still staying subtle overall. These will be releasing October 1st.

HaitianV Speaks On Kanye West vs. 50 Cent

West wins in Landslide

The people have spoken, and it’s Graduation day for IDJ’s Kanye West.

In the much-celebrated battle between the dapper rapper and Shady/Aftermath/ Interscope gangsta icon 50 Cent, West wins going away, with a first-week total of 930k that tops his own Late Registration, which bowed at #1 in August 2005 with 860k in sales.

Fiddy has nothing to be ashamed of, as Curtis tallies 660k, which represents the second-largest one-week total of the year, topping Linkin Park’s 625k back in May.

SBMG Nashville’s Kenny Chesney doesn’t exactly have to go hat in hand, either, with an impressive 400k tally for Just Who I Am: Poets and Pirates, which would have been an easy #1 in any other week but this one.

Those three together represent sales of about 1,000 copies less than the entire 200 best-selling albums totaled last week.

MTV VMA exposure appears to have helped strong gainers such as Interscope maestro Timbaland (#27-12, +47%), Geffen’s Common (#20-15, +25%) and Def Jam/IDJ’s Video of the Year winner Rihanna (#21-18, +31%). Other double-digit increases are registered by A&M/Octone’s Maroon 5 (#19-17, +14%), RCA’s Daughtry (#22, +16%), Reprise’s Michael Buble (#28-25, +10%) and WB’s Talib Kweli (#38-30, +12%).
