I’m sure Corporate Responsibility desk would love me to tell you that this was an ecofriendly sneaker coming out next year at Whole Foods locations world wide, but alas. French artist Djamel continued his series of cardboard sneakers with a makeup of our Gel Lyte III. The only materials he used to create the piece were regular crafts items and the ASICS box that the sneakers came in. More below

A few months after redeeming himself by claiming the WBC Middlewight Championship from Carl Froch in a war of attrition, Danish Boxer Mikkel Kessler has exited Showtime’s Super-Six tournament citing eye injuries that will take him out of boxing completely for at least 9 months. According to his doctor, Gerhard Lang Kessler suffers from “a weakness of the superior oblique muscle of his left eye…To continue boxing, the muscle needs a proper rest, meaning no fighting or sparring for nine months.” This makes Kessler the second fighter to pull out of the tournament after Jermain Taylor suffered a concussion in the final round of his first round fight with Arthur Abraham.
Jermain Taylor was replaced by the unimpressive Allan Green, below are my picks for the most interesting options to replace Kessler:
Aaliyah Dana Haughton
(January 16, 1979 – August 25, 2001)
Jesse Boykins III – I Care 4 You (Aaliyah Cover)
Another ASICS Gel Lyte III design by Ronnie Fieg. Big improvement from the Cultureshoq II’s in my opinion. I’m not quite sick of these yet.

Kanye West – Power Remix ft. Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz
This makes the original sound so flat. Kanye went in so far he came out the other side bumping Snap!. Also Jay really needs to start recording his verses AFTER Kanye’s because this is getting embarrassing…

Welcome To The Imperial – Lemon Andersen x Rik Cordero
A crowd sourced creative collaboration series by Lemon Andersen and Rik CorderoWelcome To The Imperial” is a 1-minute viral video from Brooklyn born spoken word poet and actor, Lemon Andersen and Queens-bred filmmaker, Rik Cordero to the millions of New York City basketball fans. It features a mixture of Rik’s eye for iconic New York City sights and faces seamlessly combined with the richness of Lemon’s poetry. In essence, the Big Apple exerts a powerful influence over those who live here and those who play here. Welcome To The Imperial…
“…It represents two artists on their way to the throne. It’s Majestic. It’s us. Now when you hear “Welcome To The Imperial” you will hear our stamp.” – Lemon
“…What we’ve done only scratches the surface of what Lemon and I are capable of but ultimately we achieved our goal with Imperial: to visually capture the essence and magic and complexity of New York City.” – Rik
I don’t know if every song, film, poem, video or painting that has ever used it as a subject could capture the essence, magic and complexity of New York in its entirety…but this is dope though. Shoutout to my frat Kenji for the tip.
