Kicks Of The Day: DJ AM Special

DJ AM was a DJ/Producer who was a member of Crazytown, worked with & dj'd for Travis Barker, Samantha Ronson, Jay Z, Will Smith, Papa Roach & a helluva lot more, he was also a huge sneakerhead. So as well as leaving behind a legacy as a musician & perfomer... AM also leaves behind a huge legacy as trainer collector (Check the collection!)

Nike are launching the DJ AM x Nike Dunk High Premium to pay homage...the best thing about them to me is the Technic 1210 plate being perforated into the heel.
