Friday, February 6, 2009

I haven't filled my brain with much fashion this week, so i figured since the Grammy's are this weekend I fill post my favorite collabos of musician and sneaker company. Nice Kicks schooled me today so I can't take all the credit for this.The hard rocking Deftones won a Grammy back in 2001, and their kicks go just as hard. Their collaboration with Nike on the Dunk High is one of the most sought after for Dunk collector’s. The Deftones’ bassist Chi Cheng was in an unfortunate car accident towards the end of last year, and remains in a coma.

Questlove x Nike Air Force 1 was the winner of our Kixpy Best Air Force 1 of 2008. Questlove, as a member of The Roots, has been nominated a handful of times, and won Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “You Got Me” (featuring Erykah Badu and Eve).Jay-Z teamed up with Reebok for his own signature line of sneakers, the S. Carter. His Grammy win list is longer than the S. Carter line lasted, including collabs with a number of other artist on the list, including Bun B, Pharell, and others. Hopefully he can pull out another grammy this year. He is nominated for best rap album. He can wish right? The competition is too steep this year. He will be performing "Swagger like us" with the rest of the team on Sunday.

No doubt Kanye has to be on our list, his recent work with Louis Vuitton and his upcoming Air Yeezy with Nike are all the buzz right now in the world of sneakers. His musical abilities have garnered him 30+ Grammy nominations, but what really is impressive, is how Ye unveiled the Nike Air Yeezy to the world at last years Grammy Awards show. What can we expect from him this year? We’ll have to watch and see on Sunday February 8th at 8pm EST on CBS
