Last week we gave you details on the Nike Dunk Exhibition in Shanghai and now thanks to our friend GMing of MESS in Beijing we have some pictures of the event. The exhibition showcased some of the best Nike Dunk’s of all time and included pieces of art from a number of Chinese artists. Unfortunately this exhibition only went on for one weekend, but we’re sure that there will be more to follow worldwide in the upcoming months as Nike continues to put their energy behind the Dunk.

Perhaps one of the wildest party in Hong Kong went down last evening as NEIGHBORHOOD (NBHD) and WTAPS celebrated the grand opening of their first venture outside of Japan. The new massive flagship boasts 3 floors of shopping, with decor by NUTS, the same creative minds that created the logo for LUMP’s newly opened flagship. In the meantime, hundreds of friends and families, including Alyasha Owerka-Moore (FiberOps) and Fraser Cooke (Nike) mingled along with celebrities of Hong Kong’s night scene in the celebration. Thanks to photos from our friends at Vent Fury.

Gourmet was introduced to sneakerheads last year around the US, and although some feel that it is a blatant slap to the face to Jordan’s, a lot of sneakerheads have picked up on these canvas and gum sole “Jordan-esque” shoes that give a bit of a casual look to a number of popular Jordan silhouettes. Love them or hate them, Gourmet is back with their Spring collection featuring two new models that draw inspiration from the Air Jordan XII and Air Jordan XIII. The Santo takes from the XII whereas the Diablo borrows from the XIII, but both come with an all canvas upper and gum sole, identical to the first two pairs released by Gourmet. In addition, this season Gourmet uses some new colros to spice up things including, “Amethyst (Purple), Interblue, Basil, and Scarlet, as well as keeping the more traditional colors like Black and Eggshell”. via: Commonwealth

adidas Originals continues its homage to music with the release of adidas Superstar 1 – Jam Pack, in honor of the late DJ of Run-DMC, Jam Master Jay. Based on the original Superstar and composed of black patent leather. A silhouette of the Jam Master Jay, in the familiar of outfit and fedora, is embroidered in contrasting white stitching. Instead of a solid color, adidas altered its signature 3 stripes into transparent plastic ones, so they would not distort the embroidery. The word JAM, along with the inscription “Justice, Arts, Music” are also embroidered along the sneaker.
Aside from the Superstar 1, the Jam Master Jay Pack comprised a collection of apparels – a short sleeve polo shirt in black with red raglan sleeves , a full zip track jacket with horizontal black, red and white stripes, and a t-shirt with identical silhouette of Jam Master Jay printed on the lower back.
The entire collection is now available at Berlin’s Overkill Shop.

During the month of October in 1993, Michael Jordan did the unthinkable. At the height of his career, after leading Chicago Bulls to its consecutive NBA Championship title and winning 3 consecutive NBA Finals MVP himself, the first player in NBA history to do so, Jordan announced his retirement from the sport that everyone identified him with. The following Spring, Jordan joined the minor league team for the Chicago White Sox franchise. The suddenness to his early retirement from basketball and transformation to a baseball player was mainly attributed to the death of his father, who was murdered during a botched robbery in 1993. To honor his father’s desire before his passing, Jordan played baseball for the duration of 1994.
To mark the opening day of MLB season this year. Nike released a limited edition Air Jordan 1 Retro, in the familiar pin-stripe designs as the Chicago White Sox. Baseball inspired designs are found all over the upper. Near the rear tab, a cross-bats embroidery with the number 3 and 51, represented Jordan’s stats of 3 HRs and 51 RBIs during short baseball career. (He returned to the court in 1995)
The Air Jordan 1 Retro, or more commonly called Jordan Opening Day Pack is currently available at NikeStore.com.
Style: 325514-102
Color: White/Black-Silver
