Blessing the French basketball talent on the courts with some new African-inspired threads, the new collection will boast some cultural inspiration that’s definitely going to be appreciated by the Hip-Hop community. “This year, we created a ‘Quai 54’ graphic motif inspired by traditional West African fabric patterns,” says Thibaut de Longeville, co-founder of Quai 54...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Dave J Hogan / Getty Nike and Jordan have a successful history of collaborating with music artists on limited edition drops with names like Travis Scott, J. Balvin, and Kanye West having churned out some classic grails, but is Billie Eilish next in line to drop a new hype sneaker with the Swoosh brand?

After all the bids were in and the smoke cleared, a pair of original game-worn Air Jordan 1’s ended up selling for a staggering $615,000, shattering the record setting sale of $560,000 for a pair of Air Jordan 1’s back in May. We feel like it was either DJ Khaled or Fat Joe that were behind the winning bid given their sneaker aficionado statuses. While the 1’s were the gems of the auc...
