British Rap star Dizzee Rascall has teamed up with fellow Brit, designer Ben Drury on a new Nike Air Max 90 with Dizzee’s upcoming LP ‘Tongue in Cheek’. An immediate eye catcher, the soles are finished with the ‘Dirtee Stank Recordings’ fly that sits beneath this shoe’s transparent sole, alongside white outsole sections, behind the tongue and on the footbed. Strong materials are used, with off white suede and soft leather, alongside tactical perforations on the leather toebox and collar, while the tongue is pink to capture the ‘Tongue N’ Cheek’ theme (embroidered with the name across left and right shoes in the distinctive letterform). Drury has again utilised the power of 3M (as per his AM1 three years ago), this time it appears on both the heels with Dizzee’s figure embossed on them, and on the laces too.
The truly killer touch is the translucent Swoosh. The Max 90 will drop in limited numbers at 1948 on Saturday 18th September.
