Drake’s “Certified Lover Boy” Nike Air Force 1’s Might Not Drop
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @levibentlee / Instagram Sorry sneakerheads, but it looks like the Drake “Certified Lover Boy” Air Force 1’s might not be making their way to your closet after all. Back in July of 2021 a picture was leaked of a pair of white-on-white OVO Air Force 1’s which had “Love You Forever” on the midsole instead of the customary “Air” along with heart shaped bumps on the front bottom soles. Immediately Drake Stans and sneaker aficionados went crazy as word was the kicks were set to drop in 2022, but unfortunately HypeBeast is reporting that the release may have been scrapped as the complexity of the design might have proven a bit much for a general or even limited release. On the flip side, Brendan Dunne disagrees with the rumor and says his source at Nike informe...
Nike Sues Designer John Greiger For Using The AF1 As Inspiration For His “GF-01”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @johngeiger_ / Instagram For the past few months Nike has been suing the socks off of any and everyone who dares make a buck off of any of their classic silhouette designs, and if you thought they’d fall back for even a second, you’d be wrong.

Nike feels that Geiger’s “GF-01” sneakers look a tad bit too much like the 1’s that helped make Nike the hottest sportswear brand in the streets today. “By marketing and selling shoes using Nike’s registered Air Force 1 trade dress, John Geiger knowingl...
Drake’s OVO Air Force 1 Is For The Lovers
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @levibentlee / Instagram Drizzy’s latest album, Certified Lover Boy has still yet to get a confirmed release date or even a first single released, but already we’ve gotten pics of what his upcoming OVO Air Force 1 exclusives will look like and while they seem like some average white-on-white 1’s, the devil’s in the details. Featuring little hearts on the bottom sole instead of the average stars Air Force 1’s tend to boast, the silhouette also replaces the customary “Air” logo on the side heel of the sole with “Love You Forever” in script. Not bad for the hardcore Drake fan who want to show their allegiance to the King of The North. Though rumors have the kicks dropping this Fall, no official word yet on when the sneakers will drop or if they even will. Do...
