I had a pair of original Jordan hi-tops in grade school, but when high school hit and the original 3′s came out, it was a different story. I was busy buying skate shoes and always wanted another pair of Jordans, but knew that I would ruin them skating.

Now the prices have gotten way out of hand, or you need to stand on line for a pair. As an adult, I’ve often considered purchasing a pair, but haven’t for one reason or another. I’d always looked to the Spizike as the all encompassing Jordan, pulling the best features from the early pairs. So, when I expressed interest in a new release we spied in Foot Locker, Edie wasted no time.

Unfortunately (and fortunately, may the truth be told), she gave them to me without a box. In fact, if I don’t wear them outdoors within a week, Edie has threatened to return them (she did keep the box at her office). I’ll be sure to only rock them on the most perfect of days, however, to keep them crispy.

The total piece is four pages, as we are joined by Ifixbyx. All written and shot by our good friend Chris Henry. Maybe that’s why I managed to make it into photos in both articles.

Swing by your local newsstand to grab a copy. With a great photo of a younger Greg Lemond on the cover, you can’t miss it.

]]> http://djclever.com/the-classics/feed/ 0 Enter Offshore and Organic http://djclever.com/enter-offshore-and-organic/ http://djclever.com/enter-offshore-and-organic/#comments Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:03:44 +0000 admin http://djclever.com/?p=577 The rumors are true, there will be a collaboration series between Offshore (which has been on a bit of a hiatus) and UK based Organic. Various other websites, including Organic and Knowledge already let the cat out of the bag, so I’m just going to link the audio with few words.

The A-Side comes in the form of Fracture & Neptune going back in on a track they did for Offshore a few years back, “Ups & Downs.” They emerge with the 2012 VIP, which falls directly in line with recent output on their label, Astrophonica.

OSRORG001A – Fracture & Neptune – “Ups & Downs VIP” by Organic

The B-Side also encompasses Mr. Fracture, but this time paired up with Qualified as Compound One to remix one of the most notable tracks from the Offshore back catalog, “I Am Metal.” Produced by Graphic, it features the vocal talents of Beans from Anti Pop Consortium. Compound One bring a bionic, pulsing remix fit for a late 90′s Headz session at Blue Note.

Stay tuned for more promotional materials surfacing before the February 20th release date!

I had just purchased a pair of ACG Wildpegs with some hi-viz flair and Spriggs scooped these. Luckily, I found a pair on eBay a few weeks back. Here they are!
