3/4/16 O&A NYC WITH WaleStylez FASHION: Air Jordan 12 “Valentine Day” Releases Saturday March 5
By Adewale Adekanbi Jr.
It seems like Nike want us to celebrate Valentine’s Day in March. The festive Cupid-referencing Air Jordan 12 Grade School pair will finally be released March 5th.
The new release will be an exclusive for the ladies thanks to the combination of Dynamic Pink-mudguard a pristine tumbled white based leather while a Dynamic Pink-mudguard does most of the heavy lifting on this pair.
The usual heart-basketball logo found on past Valentine’s Day releases is absent with this pair unfortunately, but the vibrant pink shade definitely makes up for it. So my female sneaker heads be extra nice today… this is a great post V-Day gift.

By Adewale Adekanbi
Gucci-Ghost, otherwise known as Trouble Andrew, is a NYC-based graffiti artist that made his name by spray painting his stylized take on Gucci’s double G logo pattern on walls and dumpsters around his neighborhood.
But rather than suing his irreverent ass into financial oblivion, the Italian fashion house enlisted him as a collaborator for its FW16 collection.
Ghost’s tags appeared on Gucci carrier bags and on pieces throughout the new seasonal range. Another example of urban art effecting the mainstream fashion industry.
