3/8/16 O&A NYC WITH WaleStylez FASHION: Kanye Spotted Wearing New Yeezy Boosts at LAX Airport

By Adewale Adekanbi Jr.

While it’s still unclear whether the low-top Yeezy Boost from Season 3 will be an updated 350 or the new rumor 550 version, Kanye was photographed at LAX airport wearing a pair of the sneakers that have been making the rounds lately. The kicks appear slightly higher than the 350s around the ankles and don’t include the heel tab, making us wonder if this is an entirely new silhouette altogether. The brown and tan shoes also feature a bright orange stripe running along the upper, giving it a distinct look from its more neutral predecessors.

Remember 1989? Hip Hop was fresh, they were still white washing graffiti of Police Station walls, the subway used tokens and the Nike Air Pressure was “the joint”! Well its finally back the Nike Air Pressure returns for the first time ever and since most original pairs are beyond the point of being wearable by now it makes the re-issue all the more anticipated.

There is no gallery selected or the gallery was deleted.

The Nike SNKRS app promises the return of the shoe and according to these images it will come back complete with the original bulky box and pump apparatus. The Nike Air Pressure will release today, January 14 and retail for $300.

 

 

 

12/30/15 O&A NYC With WaleStylez- Fashion: Nike Air Cruz- Big Blue Preview

New York Giants Wide Receiver Victor Cruz is out but far from down. O&A NYC Co-Founder Adewale Adekanbi (aka WaleStylez) caught up with the “on the mend” Cruz at FootAction on 34th Street. Cruz was there to promote the upcoming release of his debut sneaker the Nike Air Cruz.

IMG_0456

No surprise but another colorway of the upcoming Nike Air Cruz has surfaced and we assume it is a second nod to the New York Giants. Big Blue gets the tonal treatment; this pair in all-blue suede and woven leather, the latter different from the raised “pyramids” seen on the previously leaked colorways. This version also lacks visible Swoosh branding on its lateral side. Although there is no official release date for Victor Cruz’s first signature model yet, we anticipate the shoe will release in early February. The debut sneaker will be priced at $150.

12/24/15 O&A NYC What The- The New Exhibit of Art and Shoe Design by Ronnie Fieg

Ronnie Fieg’s extensive body of work is undoubtedly highlighted by his collaborations with Asics and the GEL-Lyte III silhouette. Although the shoes have been around for twenty-five years, the retro renaissance put these split-tongued classics into the limelight with much of the load carried by the NewYork native.

Ronnie Fieg has distinguished himself from the pack of shoe designers with his ever-evolving color-blocking. In an extremely exclusive exhibit (a guest list of just 50 people) entitled What The at Miami’s Joshua Liner Gallery Fieg displayed unreleased shoes alongside thirteen of his past GEL-Lyte III designs and a curated selection of hand-picked artwork. Fieg also plans to launch an accompanying book titled Homage.

Athletic Shoe aficionados (aka Sneakerheads) are wondering when or if the What The Fiegs will even release. Given the language of their press release, we anticipate it may come sooner than later. O&A NYC gives you an inside look at the What The exhibit.
